The latest trend in Hollywood is the making of fairy tales into feature films.  Nothing is off limits…Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Jack and the Flipping Beanstalk…they're filming them all!  I fully expect this year’s July 4th, summer blockbuster to be the tale of a vampire named Goldilocks who stumbles across the home of 3 werewolves, and falls asleep in their beds.  Shame on you Hollywood for producing such garbage...and shame on me for paying to see every one of them.  But hey, I have young sons that are into that stuff…I can blame it on them.

My moonlighting as a movie critic aside, this morning I encourage you to embrace your own bit of magic – in particular, the magic of Mondays.  Mondays have a special kind of enchantment.  Sure, it means we have to go back to work; it’s the start of the weekly grind and all of that.  Yet, Mondays possess another, more important quality - an innate magic in the sense that they inherently deliver us the promise of a fresh start.  Each new week that promise renews itself, and subconsciously we're uniquely conditioned to it.  Use that magic today to resurrect your goals from the dead!  Do you need to focus?  Refocus?  Begin a new project, or begin again on an existing one?  Monday is just the magical place where such things are possible.  Forget about past failures.  Shake off your previous shaky starts – and start fresh.  Start with a renewed sense of purpose.  Start today!  

As always - I believe in you...I hope you do too!
