I remember the first time I declared that I was an artist. It was one of the defining moments of my life. It took me over 50 years to admit it. Why did it take me so long to feel free to admit that I was an artist? It took me 50 years to notContinue reading “Are You “Full of It?””
Ok, so you’ve dared to dream. How’s that working for you? Are you working towards your goal with steady, clear focus? With your eyes on the prize? Is the process satisfying? Or are you becoming frustrated that it hasn’t come fast enough? What if…in real life…you are pushing your goal away? Ye old carrote onContinue reading “Your Dream Police?”
A few years ago, I read a wonderful book about the ancient Hawaiian teaching called Ho’oponopono, co-written by Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len, called Zero Limits. It described the work of Dr. Hew Len and his application of this ancient teaching of reconciliation and forgiveness in his work as a psychologist. It involvesContinue reading “Modern Ho’oponopono”
As a peaceful spirit warrior, I feel it is empowering to embrace my feelings of vulnerability and resistance – to ask the hard questions – and work through them – to find the gem of truth in the lump of coal.

You are here now. Enjoy what you have. Prepare for the future. How often have we heard someone say that? Sometimes this seems like it can’t be done, right? Or we worry that it can’t be done right. It’s all so damn confusing. The interesting thing about the future is that it is formed from today. I haveContinue reading “It’s A Beautiful Day”
To be or not to be? Why do we spend so much time searching for the reason for our existence? We ask and the ego answers. I consider the ego as psychologist Carl Jung described it – a mask, or persona, that we present to society. Things can get confusing when we take this personaContinue reading “Who’s Driving The Bus?”
In a recent interview, modern thought leader and author Brendon Burchard described a meeting with Oprah. Before anything else was discussed, she asked, What is the intention of this meeting?
