Fortunately, I married a man who is also passionate about basketball and we go in on season tickets for the local basketball team – the Sacramento Kings.  What’s all this got to do with being vibrant and spirit-based business?  Tons, actually!  In today’s paper, there was an article about Teams of the Decade, highlighting a Kings team of several years ago: Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Doug Christie, and Mike Bibby (alternately, Jason Williams).  OMG!  They were absolutely THE most fun and exciting team to watch.  They were serious about the game, great athletes, playing to win.  They, in my mind, were all about excellence.  Playing their best and bringing out the best in each other.  They were a TEAM.  And they played with heart and excellence.

Bringing your best forward with heart.  Bringing forth your excellence, your brilliance, in whatever your arena.  That’s what we need to root ourselves in, nurture and allow to grow.  Our own excellence, our own brilliance, the gifts we were meant to share.

I really feel we are entering a new …. something.  A new phase of our evolution?  The End Days?  A new paradigm?  Only God knows!  But since so many things are changing, it might be time for those of us who’ve tended to hide out to start coming out of hiding and sharing our gifts with others.  And keep at it until we can acknowledge that we are brilliant at something, that we’ve been given some pretty amazing gifts to share.

Blessings to all,

Don’t Rain on My Parade  (Bob Merrill & Jule Styne)

Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butter
Don’t bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don’t tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it’s me and not you
Who told you you’re allowed to rain on my parade
I’ll march my band out, I’ll beat my drum
And if I’m fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn’t fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn’t make it
But whether I’m the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life’s complexion
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, ’cause I’m a “comer”
I simply gotta march, my heart’s a drummer
Don’t bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,

I’m gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am …
