“If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.” David Viscott
You are courageous. You are fearless. This is your journey of Greatness. Be patient with yourself — just as the butterfly or moth is patient when emerging from the cocoon. As the wings dry, strength is gained — and as you step forward in your own greatness and recognize your Inner Wealth, step by step, you will transform and honor the Courage that is within. BE the YOU you are meant to BE.

“Greatness is found in the sincerest words that are felt to the core; healing hearts and minds.” Jan Hunter & Peg Bunting
Make sure your words count in a positive way!
“Another fresh new year is here. . . another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, to love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me to live each day with zest . . . to daily grow and try to be my highest and my best! I have the opportunity once more to right some wrongs, to pray for peace, to plant a tree and sing more joyful songs.” William Arthur Ward
I’m looking forward to many great things this year and hope you are too. With Greatitude,
Jan
Your potential?
“Think of what you are and all the fantastic potential.” Leo Beuscaglia
Don’t leave it all boxed up in 2012 – unwrap it and let it go! See where your greatness will take you! Make a list of your gifts and talents and then explore one or more of them daily! USE THEM! SHARE THEM!
There’s a beautiful connection both personally and with others as you experience this opening of your gifts; exploring, discovering, and sharing.
“Each time we are polished, we become a little more beautiful.” Hilary Weeks
There are times when things seem horribly hard or we seem to be knocking into walls every time we turn around — yet, when we stop to really look at it — it’s not really so. These are merely “stepping stones” to help us reach our potential.
The stones below in their rough and original form didn’t look this way — they had to be ground, chipped and polished to find their beauty — we too must find our way through everyday trials – some harder than others.

Today’s Greatitude:
“Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter.” Bono
Haven’t heard the word, Great-itude? Well, it was coined by a few friends of mine a couple of years ago at a Nurtured Heart Approach training in Tucson and it’s kind of stuck in my head and been rolling around as I’ve been mulling over the workings of a book the past two years with a co-author friend of mine. As the book is just about finished now and we’re entering the editing stages, it’s hard not to share a tidbit here and there of those things I feel so grateful and have an attitude of greatness about.
Maybe being amidst the holidays has a lot to do with starting a new blog — and with reflections and even starting fresh -HA! I’d like to think that it also has to do with having an attitude of greatitude as well — and thus I’ll leave you with this thought for today and be back in a day or two with another to reflect upon:
“I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.” J.B. Priestle
