Your Journal: Your Best Friend for Starting Your Day with Joy
It is said that things are created twice – once in the mind and then in the physical realm.
I was 23 years old, with a cherubic face that looked more like 16, all of 5 feet tall, when I assumed the mantle of Managing Director of my family’s door manufacturing business. I struggled with how best to lead the group of 70 hardened and rambunctious male employees, well aware that I needed to be seen as strong, assertive and no walk-over.
“Look at my week Marguerite!” Daniel had indicated prior to our fortnightly coaching call that foremost on his mind were the endless meetings that cluttered his days. He was feeling overwhelmed, time-strapped and frustrated in not being able to devote the time necessary to close important deals for his company.
Before ZOOM, there were face to face meetings. And they were a problem.
There were too many, and they were too long, lacked focus, had the wrong people present, and were poorly designed, conducted or chaired. In a word, or phrase, many meetings were considered a waste of time – “colossal” was an oft-used adjective.

We greet 2021 with anticipation and apprehension after the battering that 2020 gave us. We are grateful that 2020 is over, but wondering what will 2021 bring? Will it be more of the same?
Time moves on, at the same pace it always has. For us humans, infinitesimal specks in the sweep of time and space, time had a different cadence in 2020, at times grindingly slow, at others, swooshing past faster than we could cope.
A meditation by Marguerite Orane
Surely you can spare 11 minutes to just BE.
