One day last week in the early morning hours I awoke to send my daughter off to the airport.  My husband had graciously agreed to take her and we were all up at the ungodly hour to get her out the door by 4am.  Being an early riser, this was even a bit much for me. 

As I dragged myself out of bed, my brain started clicking along at a very fast pace wondering how in the world I was going to get all that was on my plate done in the day ahead. Suddenly, I was grateful that I had a two-hour jump on the day.

Yes it’s true! Spring has sprung and it’s officially time to start planting some seeds. 

Have you every focused too much on the wrong thing and sure enough the exact opposite of what you wanted was like a magnet and found it’s way right to you?

Sometimes - especially when we have something we want badly and we want it this minute – we fearfully keep imagining through fear the exact opposite result. By doing this we can in fact push the desired object or happening far from our life. 

With this morning bringing an extra hour of light than it did last week (due to daylight savings time yesterday) it seems appropriate to talk about sparking things up a bit when the darkness - whether expected or unexpected - comes into our lives. 

Since the inception of the Victory Letter many years ago, the number one goal of these writings has always been to celebrate our humanness. No matter the role we play in business, we are all human at our core. 

Probably one of my greatest achievements that I am celebrating this week is my ability to create a human being. Talk about humanness! That came in the form of my son, Travis Ruskus, who has not only been an awesome son but has also in the past several years fully stepped into his purpose as a contemporary artist.
