Amazing Possibilities!
Each day is filled with so many amazing opportunities to live, learn, and love. Most of the writing I do is long form. Books. But most of my ideas are short-form. They are not big enough ideas to justify a book, or even a chapter of a book. Besides a blog seems much more relational and fun. Hope you enjoy it and that you will share your favorite posts with your friends, colleagues at work, and your family.
These are the blog categories I am contributing to at present: Quote of the Day • Life • Spirituality • Business • Personal Development • Creative Notes • Places and Things • Books, Music, and Movies • What’s Your Dream?

Do You Have a NOT TO DO List? – From the Desk of Matthew Kelly
Some weeks naturally pull us back to ourselves. Not because life slows down, but because something inside us insists it’s time to take a closer look at what’s really going on. We all have moments when life feels crowded, noisy, or stretched thin—and those moments have a way of revealing what we’ve been neglecting. When we finally pause, even for a breath, we notice the deeper movements within us: the desires that matter, the habits that shape us, the adjustments that could ch

What Are You Saying “Yes” to This Week? – From the Desk of Matthew Kelly
Life becomes so much more beautiful when we start saying “yes” to the things that inspire us and draw us closer to the person we’re meant to be. Too often, we say yes out of habit, pressure, or distraction—and before we know it, our lives feel cluttered and complicated. This week, I want to invite you to reflect on the yeses that simplify your life, deepen your faith, and awaken your sense of purpose. I truly hope these resources are helpful to you as you move through the day

What is Guiding Your Life Right Now? – From the Desk of Matthew Kelly
It’s easy to go through the week on autopilot, guided by whatever demands the most attention.

Maybe something beautiful is trying to get your attention. This early part of Lent invites us to notice both. I hope that these resources are helpful to you and bring a little clarity to your week. 1. The Wait is
