  • Breaking Our Agreement With Mediocrity- Choosing a Higher Path
    This week Hawaii was graced with the music of Rickey Byers- Beckwith and Joe Dickey and inspirational talks from both Michael Beckwith and Mary Manin Morrisey - all on one evening. While I received gifts of insight and beauty from each one of these magnificent people one thing stood out for me that I want to share.
  • When Did You Stop Seeing Beautiful?
    It can be excruciatingly painful when our appearance does not measure up to popular standards. Only the fantasy "other" seems perfect. We strive to become what "they" are and what we are not.
  • Reaching Beyond Ordinary - Unconditional Love and Making a Difference
    Years ago people came to work with me because they wanted to transform their heartaches and struggles into more positive outcomes. In the last five years the primary focus that motivates any of us to reach out for support has dramatically shifted. The dominant stresses are not as obvious as they once were.
  • Twelve Qualities of Spirit - Peace
    For many years I have observed how energy flows through the emotional and physical bodies. When you go looking for peace, the head will only get you limited access. You must enter through the heart.
  • Visit the Inner Room of Love - Are You Showing Up Fully for Your Life?
    We miss the very essence of life when we attach love to certain people, circumstances or events. Are you showing up fully for your life as it is right now?
  • Aware Entrepreneurs: Five Agreements for Creating Fulfilling Lifestyles Together
    Aware Entrepreneurs practice business in ways that contribute to renewal. This runs counter to a common workday experience that leaves individuals feeling drained and depleted.
  • Intimate Relationships Are Changing: Evolution and the Urge for Wholeness
    My own relationship journey has inspired me to undertake a very personal study of what it really takes to achieve genuine intimacy. It is such a foundational human longing - the desire for connection and companionship- that it appears on the radar screen often whenever we set our hopes on a fulfilling lifestyle.
  • Answering the Question - What Do You Do?
    How do we distill our unique and very personal understanding of what is possible for human beings into words, prose, music or other forms of communication- in ways that invite others to enjoy and perhaps find meaning from the view that we see?
  • Twelve Qualities of Spirit - Magnificence
    "Promise me you will always remember: You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
    Christopher Robin to Pooh
  • Aware Entrepreneurs: Three Practices to Blend Spirituality With Meaningful Work
    There are a few good questions that business owners, teachers and leaders ask when they are planning for growth in their classroom, their company or their life. Who are my students or clients or friends - really? What makes them tick? And what is unique about the people I serve and regularly connect with?
  • Relationships That Empower Us - Transformation Through Trust
    We live in a world where loneliness runs rampant and has been identified as the most dominant social problem in America today. The longing for real connection with another human being can keep us from fulfilling our potentials and giving our gifts to the world.
  • Twelve Qualities Of Spirit - Power
    The Spiritual Quality of Power is active in the use or abuse of our human will. It comes in a number of very different and distinct forms. Let us take a close look at some of these forms of power so that we can understand how we disconnect...
  • Common Blocks to Creative Power - A Portrait of Five Primary Hindrances
    Here are the most common blocks to Creative Power that I know of. They come from the Buddhist tradition and are called The Five Primary Hindrances.
  • Twelve Qualities of Spirit - Health
    When we think of health only in terms of the physical body we think too small. And when we think small we find ourselves trying to deal with "symptoms" and "conditions" at the surface level and not achieving the results we want.
  • Twelve Qualities of Spirit - Wisdom
    Knowledge is a wonderful thing, and I am all for sharing information that is meaningful and useful. But the development of wisdom gives us inner sustenance and fortitude - something that helps us ride through obstacles without getting stuck.
  • Accepting Change in Your Life - Ready or Not!
    Sometimes the winds of change blow through my life and it seems as though everything is crumbling. When that happens here is what I usually do.
  • A Law of Attraction Lesson ~ Use the Energy of Regret to Attract What You Want
    A few weeks ago I was having regrets. When I took a look at my thoughts I discovered they were all focused in the past. I was having regrets about words I had not spoken, actions I had not taken, and options that I had passed up. So I took out my pen and paper and I wrote a letter to my Higher Self asking for guidance.
  • Doing Business And Life With Love
    Yesterday I gave a workshop to introduce a group of budding business owners to the principles of Aware Entrepreneurship. For many of them the old forms of business don't work anymore. Hard sell tactics are of no interest. Managing with worry and fear only increases their stress and depletes them and they know it. Putting the bottom line before personal well-being no longer makes sense.
  • Twelve Qualities of Spirit - Love
    My connection with the spiritual quality of love happened quite suddenly when I was in my twenties. Well, perhaps many lifetimes led up to that point in time and it wasn't really sudden at all. Regardless, my own evolution brought me to an existential crisis point that somehow, some way I needed to resolve.
  • Freedom in Relationships - Finding a New Purr!
    Since childhood I've carried around the false belief that I am responsible for what other people feel. It hasn't been a conscious belief. I know better! But it has been a sneaky undercurrent of thinking that kept surfacing in my intimate relationships, affecting my behavior and causing me pain.
  • Being a Whole Person - Both Human and Spiritual
    If you are like most people you do not want to miss a thing. You sense there is much joy to be had in life and you want it.
  • How to Make Decisions that Really Work
    The human personality is a collective of characters, not one singular characteristic. We make different decisions and take different actions depending upon who is in the drivers seat on any given day. So which part of us gets to make our decisions? Which part of us knows what is best for us? Which part can we rely on and trust? How do we sort it all out?
  • Change Your Viewpoint - From Ordinary Thinking to Extraordinary Living
    About a year ago I introduced a ritual writing day at the beach into my weekly schedule. With a desire to establish balance and to blend work with play I wanted to create a very specific kind of personal replenishment.
  • Reclaim the Many Parts of Your Self
    There are so many parts to the self. Often we have aspects that seem to be direct opposites. The responsible self and the carefree one, the introverted, quiet self and the extraverted, expressive self, the strong and the vulnerable. None of the selves are better or worse than others although we often judge them so.
  • Manage Your Energy, Manage Your Stress: Learn to Turnaround Anxiety and Depression
    Last week, I sat in the dental chair and had the opportunity to experiment with a simple energy management technique that I use regularly during more relaxed situations. I wondered if I could apply it during an extreme moment of stress. I did and it worked.
  • The Missing Curriculum - What We Learned and What We Were Not Taught
    Sometimes it amazes and frustrates me how much I don't know. And sometimes the fact that there is so much to learn inspires and motivates me to grow. With all the studying and reading and training I have done I am still aware of many gaps in my education. These gaps show up in all areas of my life where I have not reached my full potential and I know it.
  • Are You Dreaming Big and Thinking Small?
    f we really want to bring our greatest desires into realities we need to develop
    flexibility and agility in our minds instead of holding out in our solid and locked
    positions. Thinking small inhibits passionate living.
  • Let Go of Your Past: Embrace What Really Matters to You
    False ideas about ourselves, when unexamined, undermine our happiness. They keep us from creating fulfilling relationships and satisfying careers.
  • Love Notes - Three Arenas of Love
    We learn many things growing up - some of them are useful, and some get us into messes we can't figure out. For many of us, the journey to healthy loving relationships started out upside down and backwards.
  • Creating a Life That Works
    The journey from where we are to where we want to be does not have to be arduous or riddled with stress. In fact it can be a gentle expansion into more of everything we want for ourselves and even more that we haven't even thought about yet.
  • Personal Power - What Conscious Creators Know
    A Conscious Creator is anyone who accepts responsibility for the creation of his or her own reality. Instead of blaming, justifying or complaining they make choices, focus their attention and express their feelings.
