Are You Listening To Mr. Potter?

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

OK, I’m not talking about my elementary school band teacher OR “Harry Potter’s” deceased father… This story is a shade of another Mr. Potter who makes it to the homes of many TV viewers at least once a year around Christmas time. You’ve seen “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Yes, I’m talking about THAT Mr. Potter. Additionally, you remember when the bank examiner is looking for the “missing” $8,000? George is desperate and he is listening to Mr. Potter as our … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

The Letter From God

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

This is the best “chain letter/email” that we have received in years – instead of just sending it to those on our “list” we decided to post it here and let you share. May your holidays be warm and bright! Additionally, we’ve included a beautiful recording that was left at K-EARTH radio station back in 1984. Dear children, It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. Maybe you’ve forgotten that I … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Blame – Keeping The Focus Inward

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see this world. ~ George Bernard Shaw When we’re working on ourselves, it’s a challenge to keep the focus where it will do the most good. If you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed a lot of “they” or “them” in your reflections and the hardest thing to do is to keep it all about “me”. Even in current events I believe that we are being asked, … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Celebrate Your Independence

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

In the United States we celebrate a day dedicated to our independence. It is about the freedom to live as we choose, make decisions that support our chosen way of life and, in general, pursue our own path to happiness. As a nation we demonstrate it with photos, music, fireworks and flag waving. However, that independence can be seen in the rights to disagree with and publicly demean our country. We have the right and responsibility to accept nothing at … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Morning Quiet

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

In the quiet hours of the morning, anything is possible and the day looms in front of me like the last day of school just before the final dismissal bell. Time stops and nature reigns supreme as I find myself listening to the stream in the distance as well as the variety of bird calls overhead, squirrels and chipmunks conversing. Yes, there is the occasional plane and gentle footsteps of the workers but I can choose my focus on this … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

The Courage To Be Myself

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

As a member of Sweet Adelines we regularly have the opportunity to attend educational events. In a few weeks we will have a presenter in our midst and I’m reminded of something she brought to us a few years ago. Kathy Carmody, related this from The Four Agreements and I’d like to pass it on since it pays to be open to finding inspiration and education around every turn. Your ultimate opportunity may be right in front of you if … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Failure or Success-Celebrate Them Both!

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. ~ Michael Jordan I love performing and I remember a talent show that I helped organize on base. I was going to do one number that should have been fairly simple – two guitarists and I … [CLICK TO READ MORE]

Embrace Change and Connect The Dots

Kira Wagner Enterprises Posted on by

September 1989 and I was getting ready for the contest with the chorus I sang with at the time. In a few weeks, we would be on our way to Miami to compete, and Mission Valley Chorus would be representing Sweet Adelines Region 12. I was both excited and somewhat nervous, as this would be my first contest performance on the International stage with several unknowns. I happen to like having a sense of what is going to happen before … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
