Does Authenticity Frighten You?
Are you afraid to be yourself? Do you only let people see certain parts of you? Do you only share what you think they will accept and agree with? This is not uncommon. Although there is an allure and great freedom awaiting you when you live fully as the person you...
A September 11th Remembrance
I remember waking up on Sept. 11th ten years ago. I was in Las Vegas for a sign convention with Kathy. I turned on the television to Good Morning America and instead I saw what looked like a disaster zone. We were confused about what we were seeing because the words...
What Are You Eluding?
Is there something you desire that seems out of your reach? Something that you have a hankering for that is eluding you? Perhaps it is not really eluding you – perhaps you are eluding it. As human beings we have come to expect that we will not receive everything we...
Change Your Mind, Change Your Life
Two Minds Are Better Than One… and sometimes both minds are your own. It’s true. We end up in a situation because of the thoughts we have thought in the past and the actions we took that landed us here. Now that we’re in it, there is no way for us to get out of it...
There’s No Time Like the Present.
You’ve heard it before – and it bears repeating – there’s no time like the present. What this speaks to is the value of this very moment. As far as you know, it’s the only one you’ve got; and every single moment after the one you’re in is a bonus. Living in the NOW is...

Your Story Is Whatever You Decide
The two articles we are sharing this week both speak about the significance of storytelling. Truly, we are all storytellers; whether we tell stories to ourselves, about ourselves or about our observances, perspectives and circumstances, we are thinking and speaking...
Whatever Your Calling, It is God’s Work
There are some people who say “I have a vocation” or “I have a calling” or “I know that what I am doing is my purpose in life”. I used to be envious of these people until I realized that they are no different than anyone else on this earth, and they are certainly no...
Even a Tiny Light Brightens a Dark Space
t is in the darkest of rooms that we can see even the smallest crack of light peeking through the blackness. It seems to cut through the dark like a knife. This same small crack of light cannot even be seen when it enters an already lit room. Our lives are like this....
Trying and Failing
This past month I entered a contest and lost. I didn’t win. I didn’t get the prize. I didn’t get the title. I failed. AND…I am already looking for the next contest, and I’ll be happy again even if I fail. Why? Am I a glutton for punishment? No, in fact it is exactly...
What American Idol Does for America
It’s true that as Americans we love to celebrate winning; not the Charlie Sheen version, but honest to goodness winning. We think we like to see the final result and to crown a victor, but the truth is that we love the process and the journey even more than we love...

A Bad Mood is and Indicator of Change

It’s Better Because of You
By your inherent nature and energy, you continually affect everything and everyone you come in contact with. The combined energy of your heart space and your brain send ‘waves’ to all that surrounds you and simply by thinking and feeling, you literally create the...
Inspiration is the Beginning, the Middle and the End
So here before us is the chicken and egg question… Do you have to be inspired to take the first step or can the first step be taken to bring forth inspiration? In other words, can you move forward without the feeling in order to create the feeling? The short answer is...
Thinking Big – Starting Small
Looking at a new project can be invigorating, exciting and thrilling! It can bring a skip to your step and a new sense of energy to your being. It can ‘refresh’ a previously stale or stuck business or relationship. At the same time, it can bring with it anxiety,...
What lies before you is EVERYTHING…
What you are seeing around you at this very moment has very little to do with what is possible for your future. The situation you are currently in is a direct reflection of your past thinking and actions. What lies before you is whatever you decide and think about and...
Feelings of Peace
How are you feeling today? How would you like to feel today? Happy? Joyful? Peaceful? PEACE: A feeling of ease and calm within, no matter what exists around you. A feeling doesn’t happen to you, it is produced within your mind. Your feelings are derived from your...
Fabric of Life

Is Common Sense Really So Common?
In the course of a day, I run across so many things that simply don’t make sense to me. Yesterday, I got some coffee from a restaurant in a food court. When I proceeded to the area to get some cream and sugar, I found that it was also the order pick-up window. I was...
Mirror, Mirror of Myself
We’ve all had times in our life when we meet someone, and we experience dejavu. We could swear we’ve met them before. In an attempt to make the connection, we ask lots of questions to figure out how we might know them. ‘Did you grow up in Texas?’ ‘Where did you go to...
New Year, New You ~ Or Not
The powers that be would have us believe that the beginning of a new year means the beginning of new habits and new ways of being. We search for new bodies, better relationships, the end of ‘bad habits’ and more material stuff. We’re tricked each year into believing...
