By the time you read this, I will be in Cuba. I have been planning this for a while – a chance to see a culture unchanged for most of the last century, poised on the brink of change. For the last week, I have been in the usual frenzy of activity to leave town […]

What Do You Mean – Life is Meant To Be Joyous and Abundant?
It’s been over a decade since I first heard that “life is meant to be joyous and abundant”. I was stunned – it was like a revelation that reoriented my thoughts and perceptions of the world. I thought, what do you mean, joyous and abundant, if that’s the case, why am I living like this? […]
WHAT’S YOUR TIPPING POINT?
What interesting times we are in! The extreme events in politics and across the world are generating new perspectives and creating very rapid change. All around me, I’m seeing this as friends and the people I work with reach their tipping point and make decisive life altering decisions. The concept of “The Tipping Point” was […]
RECLAIMING OUR MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Last week, I heard a powerful, provocative and inspiring speech. Marianne Williamson spoke at Berea College in KY to a packed house on “Healing the Soul Of American: Reclaiming our Voices as Spiritual Citizens. Her stirring urging, to reclaim our moral foundation with action, moved everyone to a fever pitch. Marianne Williamson is an internationally […]
Being On The Leading Edge Of Your Life
This last week, I’ve been out of town training and engaged in several interesting endeavors at home. Everywhere I’ve been, I’ve met people who are excited and passionate about their life. I found myself thinking how wonderful it is to be on the leading edge of life, “pushing the edge of the envelope” and “being […]
The Importance of Being “Trauma Informed”

As the quote from William Faulkner implies, people who survive trauma may feel they are living with the wounds every day. But there’s positive change across the […]
When Hard Work Isn’t Hard
For the past two weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of watching and listening to my husband prepare for a big concert he put on with 14 other musicians. Oh my, they worked hard in what’s been a labor of love. There’s no money that can compensate for the individual and collective time and energy that […]
The Balance Needed To ACCOMPLISH Anything
For months, I’ve been trying to find local fertilized organic eggs. As I asked around, I learned a few things. It takes a rooster around the hens for the eggs to be fertilized and even then, there is no guarantee they’ll be fertile. I was told the free-range hens were molting and it was too […]
How To Release Self-Limiting Patterns
It was a powerful moment when the group recognized how patterns from their past affect them in the present. These are the unspoken fears, negative self-perceptions or insecurities that we all have. In fact, it was stunning to realize that this is common for most everyone. People often think they are alone with these thoughts. In truth, most […]
What’s Really Needed To MANIFEST?
There was a buzz of excitement as people started recognizing that they really are master manifestators after all. Most of us focus on what we haven’t been able to make happen in our life. It haunts us, makes us feel bad and for some, it defines how we see the course of our life. It […]
