    Focusing on others is a way to avoid focusing on yourself.  Bring your attention inwards.  It is not your job to save anyone other than yourself. This was posted on Google+…

  • Opening to Change

    I feel like I’ve been stuck for over a year.  It’s not true really.  I’ve been grieving and recovering from what I now affectionately term “the year from hell”.  I’m an incredibly strong person – I have managed a lot of change and challenges in my life, but 2010 really did break me.  I had…

  • Making Mistakes – Life Lessons That Count

    I know a few people who live in abject fear of making a mistake.  They HAVE to be right.  It’s as thought their lives depend on it.  It’s really hard to live that way.  I know – I used to do it. Mistakes – Good Or Bad? The thing about making mistakes is that they…

  • Cultivate Inner Flexibility

    If you want to know how you can improve your experience of the world, it’s a very simple, two-part process.  I won’t say that it’s an easy process, because it isn’t.  But it is a practice that, once engaged can help you to improve your sense of well-being and confidence in the world. Step One…

  • Remembering 9/11 – With Love

    I didn’t watch any of the news coverage about 9/11 yesterday.  I didn’t participate in any of the events.  I didn’t want to muddy my memory.  Because the media likes to do that – they like to tell us what to remember and what to forget.  But most of all, they like to tell us…

  • Chaos and Change

    Speaking as someone who lives in the chaos of constant change, I look at chaos differently than most. I see it as the underpinnings of our world – the undifferentiated energy that is the building blocks of reality. And, yes, I do go and visit that pure chaos space – likely more often than most…

    Why We’re Here – Philosophy for a Tuesday Morning

    I have spent 30 years studying personal growth and development and I have heard one guru after another tell me that we are on earth to learn. But it has never made sense to me. I mean, after all, these same gurus say that we are small pieces of the “all that is” or “God”…

  • A World Powered By Kindness

    Kindness as Currency I just watched an Absolute Vodka commercial and while I don’t normally forward these types of things, I thought it was an interesting concept to explore today. The premise of the video is that the currency of the world becomes kindness. So you see people paying for their bus ride with a…

  • The Present of Presence

    On this Black Friday, I wanted to offer up a bit of perspective. Gifts Are Not The Point Of The Season We live in a commerical society. The holidays have been coopted from a time when we love and care for our fellow (wo)man to a time when we spend ourselves ragged and hope we…

  • In Search of the Goddess/AntiChrist?

    In Search of the Goddess/AntiChrist?

    OK, now follow with me here. It is well-known that when a new religion takes over, it vilifies and makes evil the old religion. This is done as a way of converting people to the new belief and getting rid of the old. In Christianity, women are very often shown as being the bringers of…
