A typical Monday that was to quickly become one of the most significant Mondays of my life… On my way to work, amidst the chaos of my divorce proceedings, I listened to Marianne Williamson speak. She asked, “Who is that person in your life that you can’t deal with? That you hate?” She proceeded to make a promise. She said “I promise that if you pray for them for 30 days, one of two things…

A life authentic to who and what you are? Life on Earth can be challenging for the spiritually illumined. We’re aware that the substance of life resides elsewhere, yet were heavily invested in the physical realm. So, how do we honor our true self when…

When I say “others” I am referring to all the people in our lives who we love, respect and who we believe have our best interest in mind. As children this is an invaluable and important part of the process of growth and development. However, the truth of the matter is that whether we like it or not,…

Plants That Many Consider to Be Weeds are Actually Powerful Medicinal Herbs
Weeds are plants that grow where they’re not wanted, where they “steal” nutrients meant for desired crops. However, not all weeds are pests. Some can be sources of food or have medicinal properties, and other benefits that may make you see these plants in a new light. While some weeds can be beneficial, you must first consider the area. If you decide you’re going to forage, check for hazards such as signs of pollution or pollutants, pesticides, herbicides, or other…

3 Simple Steps to Experience Bliss
Some people have it, most people don’t. And let me tell you straight away, it doesn’t come from the big house and the big car.

What is their secret to happiness and bliss? After…

3 Simple Steps To Loving Yourself More
I believe we are born naturally loving ourselves. Then, a panoply of various circumstances and experiences compound over the years, providing fertile ground for our egos to collaborate with those past mistakes and unfavorable experiences to condition us otherwise. It then becomes our job to keep our egos in check and teach them how to use the wisdom gained from past experiences for our own benefit, rather than twisting it into (invalid) reasons for beating ourselves up. When we learn…

How to Find Your Way Through the Impossible Maze of Struggle
I spent a large portion of my life in the company of people who gave me more criticism than encouragement. The feedback I consistently received was about how I needed to improve, what I was doing wrong, or how I had failed expectations. Rarely, if ever, did someone encourage me, and if they did there was little to no substance to that encouragement. Often that ‘encouragement’ felt like a scolding. “I know you can do better. Do better! Just do…

Simple Common Sense Ways to Happiness and Self-Love
Many people fear accepting those things about themselves which they dislike, are unhappy about, or wish to change. They fear that accepting such things will mean that they will fall into complacency. That fighting those things is what is needed for everything to not completely spiral out of control. We could be talking about a multitude of things here: Our weight, our lack of motivation or self-discipline, our lack of patience, our impulse control, etcetera. The truth is, when we…

What to Do If You Are Buried Alive in Clutter
It is often said that the physical clutter we surround ourselves with is an external representation of what is going on in our mind. I have found that to be very true for me many times. When my emotions become saturated and my mind cluttered with negative, self-sabotaging or repetitive thoughts, it seems to translate into my physical world. The drain on my mental and emotional energy consumed by being too caught up in my head seems to have a…

On the Battlefield of Life at Rock Bottom there is Still a Promise of Hope
When I was younger, I walked around in a storm, constantly plagued by worry and stress. I carried so much unresolved anger and unhealed pain that the world felt like a battlefield. I was constantly on guard, ready for confrontation, ready to fight. My mind raced a million miles a minute. I had no peace; I had no reprieve. My constant state of angst left me on edge like a ticking time bomb. I was ready to go off at…

Why they can’t do this, why they can’t do that, why they essentially can’t do anything at all. They’re stuck. They’re victims of their circumstances and victims of their lives. They have boatloads of stories and excuses on why they just can’t. End of sentence, period, no more discussion. Look they…

Memorial Day Weekend Message
Dear Friends, If you have a political axe to grind, today is the day to set it down. Don't confuse politics, with considering the profound loss of human life. It's not about how great the nation is; it is about what those souls lost. It doesn't matter if they were valiant volunteers, or reluctant and draft coerced. It isn't about bravery either — in those circumstances, shuddering in fear is just as honorable. It's about what you have today, which…
