What is the one thing you are going to change today? Our being in the Universe requires that we move and do because we need to eat and eliminate and breath. We are home to millions of organism that live with us symbiotically on, around and in our bodies. We move through an environment that…
What if things had been different? There is a great segway in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun where the main character says “Any little change along the way and I would be somewhere else. I would be different.” The camera pans across her writing desk which holds mementos from her life’s journey from misery…
Dreams don’t need to be lofty ideals or game changing events. They don’t have to be ‘happily ever after’ or rider towards the sunset. They can be small amounts of wonder or joy or amazement that you can fit into the palm of your hand. They can be doing something you’ve always wanted to try…
I’m very much into creating, into doing, into making things happen in life and going for what I want. I’ve always called it ‘adventuring’ although it’s not adrenaline junky stuff. I’ve ridden in a two-seater helicopter, but I’m not interested in sky diving. I am interested in pointing my car in a direction and just…
Facebook is full of profound images, those that uplift and those that are a warning of dangers going on around us. Nothing wrong with that at all.

However you got there, the relationship brings out the worst results for your and possibly for everyone, and nothing…
Yesterday I finished up lesson 6 of the class I will be offering through DailyOm.com. This lesson was on interacting with your Soul Book and it’s always good to write about these things because it forces you to really look deeply and be clear about what you are doing and why so you can present…
It’s cliché but also most true that doctors make the worst patients, mechanics drive broken down cars, and those that clean house usually come home to a mess. What we do for others we rarely do for ourselves. I’m one of those. Don’t do as I do, do as I say, so the saying goes. …
Sometimes the unexpected is a good thing. Somewhere along the line being nice got trampled under the feet of being efficient and being polite became a license for everyone to abuse you. “The customer is always right” became “the customer has the right to treat you like crap” and so most people wear armor when…
