721. The Spectacular You By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee
     I recently received a letter addressed to Spectacular Rachelle Lee. At first I thought it was a joke. Who would write such a thing? I then thought maybe it was a mistake. Whatever it was, I knew it did not feel comfortable. It turned out to be an advertisement, for what I am not even sure. What I am sure of is that the way it was addressed caught my attention, and I realized how difficult it can be to own just how spectacular I am.We are …

     Most people like movies. Some, like me, are enthralled by them. I am sure that making a movie is a lot of work; but to me, it seems like it must be the most fun in the world.

I fantasize about becoming an actor/director in a movie that I have scripted.It would become known as a classic. Drama, comedy, action, romance,…

Unfortunately, more often than not, most dreams remain unrealized; silenced by fear and doubt. What's needed is a renaissance to recapture the spirit and …



737. He Done His Damnedest By Rachelle Disbennett-Lee
     One of Stephen Covey's "Seven Principles of Highly Effective People" is “Begin with the end in mind.” When I think about this principle, it comes to mind that this is what a legacy is all about. Thinking about what we want to leave behind helps us to live our lives in such a way that we create that legacy each day. A quote I recently came across made me think of how important each day is to our legacy and what will remain of us once we are gone…
