After all the help we received hosting our big fundraiser, I realized saying thank you is not enough. It took months and months of work to pull it off with friends, neighbors, workers of many kinds and our Board of Directors stepping up to assist. We couldn’t have done it without them. So why isn’t […]
Trauma – The Hidden Motivator
In conducting a Trauma training in Texas for criminal justice professionals, I became aware that I was preaching to the choir. Most everyone in the room was familiar with trauma’s impact on the people they serve. But as the days went on, their own experience with trauma was revealed, and it gave us all new […]
How To Thrive Where You Are – Even in Difficult Situations
Doesn’t this photo illustrate how to thrive where you are? When I saw this tree with roots stretched across the huge rock, I immediately realized the connections to what I teach from the ancient wisdom principles. We have the ability to thrive no matter what life circumstances we are in. It may take vision and […]
Everything Moves At The Speed Of Trust
I love this quote about trust. It was said at a consultation/training I conducted last week, and we repeated it frequently because it was so apropos to our work together. When there is trust in a group, as there was in this situation, things move quickly and easily. And what happens when there is not […]
The Value Of The Big Picture Perspective
The value of the big picture perspective has been highlighted a lot lately as I’ve dealt with a number of difficult issues.

I want everyone to have this life experience! The focus and perspective that makes this possible seems easy and […]
Recognize How You Are Serving The Greater Good
I love to recognize how people serve the greater good. It’s always a thrill, as it was last week when I was consulting in Lawrence KS, to meet individuals who are so clearly on it. My job was to provide training to help them do more good work. Lucky me! What I’ve recognized, in people […]
Isn’t It Time To Rewrite Your Life Story?
You are not your story or your history. Your soul has exposed you to experiences to learn and grow . Having just left a celebration of life, saying goodbye to a friend who has transitioned to spirit, I’m thinking about why we’re here and how we get twisted up in the stories we tell. Maybe […]
How You Can Make A Difference
For the past several weeks, I have been around people who really make a difference. I have been part of two fabulous music productions organized by people with vision who are making a difference. I’m mourning the loss of a dear friend who made a difference. And I’ve been witness to the impact of these events […]
Why Friendship Is Your Most Important Resource
I just had an exhilarating week recognizing the importance of friendship patterns! Our interconnected network of friends helped create something very special. We had Cuban musician friends, their friends, and our friends all come together for a big performance. It sold out early and was a tremendous success. What I realized, despite what you hear […]
