Lives of Meaning

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about what it is that makes our lives meaningful or special. I've come to the conclusion that the meaning flows from whatever definition we give life.

What do you think makes our lives meaningful?

And I think Sarah McLachlan says it so perfectly. Here's the lyrics to Ordinary Miracle and a video to listen. May it bless you as much as it has me.



It’s not that usual when everything is beautiful
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when its time to snow
You don’t need to teach a seed to grow
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn’t it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don’t throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?

Its seems so exceptional
Things just work out after all
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It’s just another ordinary miracle today

It’s just another ordinary miracle today

The Difference Between KW & RP

Recently I was asked about the difference between the two branches of my work in the performing arts- Kaizen Works and Reinholdt Productions. Great question!

Reinholdt Productions is a Canadian production partnership with my husband, John, that is contracted to direct, write, and partner in performing arts projects. Through sharing actual experiences, John and I aim to inspire other performing artists in the actual DOING of their art. In other words, we tell of actual adventures in our business planning, developing, and producing works. In turn, we hope to teach others.

Kaizen Works is a coaching community that focuses on the person, the character, living and being first. I enter into a relationship with performing artists in which we take a look at beliefs, habits, personal understanding and awareness. If necessary, we tweek so that the artist can BE who they were created to BE. It is in this BEING that we find that the actual DOING of the art flows naturally.

Simple Leadership

I've been fascinated for a long while by the leadership styles and work of those whose approach to leadership is simple and yet powerful. I'm thinking of people like Jesus of Nazareth, Mother Teresa, Ghandi.

What do you learn from these individuals?

Giving Thanks

Why is it that gratitude or giving thanks changes how you feel / what your perspective is?

I challenge you to try it even in the hardest circumstances and see if it doesn't surprise you!

Let me know how it goes by email or by comment below. And I will tell you my story :).
