What is a Map?

A map is a visual representation of a choice you made, a choice you are making, or a choice you will make. Mapping is different than journaling, where you allow your words, thoughts and feelings to flow onto a page to understand them more clearly.

You can use different media to create your map, whether that be in your favorite journal, typing bullet points on a Word document, creating branches in mind-mapping software, capturing your nuggets on index cards or affixing sticky notes to your kitchen wall.

Choosing to Bring a Positive Message of Love into the World

I’ve never put a sign up in my yard, but after speaking with Bill Donaldson, I’m ready to.

Bill Donaldson is a veritable Clark Kent. Financial consultant by profession and founder of the non-profit Love Has a Home by passion. In October of 2017, Bill made a choice to bring a positive message of love to the world. He came up with the phrase “Love Has a Home Here,” and created  the logo printing it on various products such as t-shirts, lawn signs, hats, car magnets and other items that will spread the message wherever the product is seen.

Your Choices Tell You Who You Are

Another short book reading… This one’s about how looking back and exploring what came from your choices allows you to take ownership of that choice and your subsequent actions.

Every single day we make choices, some big, some small, but certain choices are deeply meaningful because they demonstrate who we are, what we value, where we’ve been and where we’re going.
