At the dawning of a new year, we are aware that there is still much to accomplish, both on the personal level and the planetary level.
At the dawning of a new year, we are aware that there is still much to accomplish, both on the personal level and the planetary level.
The turning of the year provides an opportunity to set a clear intention for 2022. Uncertainty and fear will surely persist, but that can’t stop us from enjoying a meaningful year, if we create a reliable compass to navigate with...
As I did the inner work of healing my core wounds, the messages from the universe were easier to hear, for my path began to clear so that I could fulfill my soul’s destiny. These resources are available to us all...
Why is it that some people are able to achieve huge successes while others drift from day to day?
We often think our strength comes from physical things like exercise, food, vitamins, and maybe even coffee. Yet is that really the case?
As with nearly all trauma, there is a measure of healing to be gained in the sharing of my story — healing for myself, my daughters, and hopefully others who live in the shadow of domestic violence. Here is some insight into how I was finally able to rebuild my sense of self.
In order for things, or people, to change they need to be flexible. A willow tree bends in the wind while the branches of a more solid tree like an oak can be broken by a strong wind. The river flows around obstacles that stand in its way.
I have good news: There’s a way to recalibrate your focus and take control of your busy life. It all comes down to paying attention to the three things you do have control over.
Each one of us is a unique individual, and thus it seems to follow that each one of us has a specific role to play.
We each have our individual experiences, frame of reference, and opinions. This creates our own unique perspective on our surroundings and on life in general. We see life "through a glass darkly"...
Will we experience a new era of peace and harmony or continue to break down and destroy? Both potential outcomes are a possibility. We have a responsibility as human beings to contribute to the former...
Just like everything in nature, we are growing. While our growth and changes may not be as obvious as the grass that we have to mow regularly, or the weeds we pull from our garden, we nevertheless are continuing to grow.
In the midst of intense suffering, an amazing transformation can occur. It sometimes happens to people who have been through periods of severe addiction, depression, bereavement, and so on. I call this phenomenon “transformation through turmoil” (or TTT, for short).
Life. It's something we all have in common, no matter our religion, our race, our gender, our whatever. We are alive! Which means we have choices we make, constantly, whether we are aware of it or not. We get to choose from...
What goes on in the world, just is the way it is. How we interpret other people, things, and situations is up to us. We can either put a negative or a positive spin on what we experience.
There is an abundance of pleasure possible for us all, a great deal more than we currently live. It is freely available to everyone without discrimination or expense. It is constantly accessible in each moment and with every interaction...
We go through life with so many questions. Some are simple. What day is it? What will I have for lunch? Should I have another cup of coffee?
In the physical world, things have a past and a future, a beginning, and an end. For example, I’m sitting on a chair in my office at my desk that I’ve had for more than fifty years. At some point, this chair...
Studies suggest people are leaving or planning to leave their employers in record numbers in 2021 – a “great resignation” that appears to have been precipitated by these reflections. But if we’re all reconsidering where and how work slots into our lives, what should we be aiming at?
Life can be confusing. There are so many things going on, so many choices presented to us. Even a trip to the grocery store involves choosing between a multitude of options...
We know that we're in a great time of transition, of birthing a new way of being, living, and loving in our world that is long overdue. And, it's grueling. Let's just be honest about that.
Life consists of choices... some are "good" choices, and others not so good. However every choice helps us build a foundation of wisdom gained from experience.
We’re a society that likes to worry. Worrying is so prevalent, it almost feels socially acceptable. It's one of the less incapacitating symptoms of fear.
