COULD DO LISTS Jan 19, 2024

People who make lists are my kind of people. There is nothing like a list to help me organize my thinking, get stuff out of my head, and bring some order to my life. I previously used a To-Do list every day, where I created a special list of all the things I did not want to do. It was my master,...

WHAT YOUR STUFF IS SHOWING YOU Jan 13, 2024

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by stuff? I do, and it’s time to do something about it. I decided to love all my stuff exactly as it is.

Our stuff is a reflection of who we used to be. As eternal beings who are always changing, we have stuff is stale the moment we trot it home. It’s...

YOUR PRESENTS, REVEALED Jan 11, 2024

Ample time and energy are spent buying gifts for the holidays. We all do this. We make our lists, we work our lists, and we hope our gift hits the mark.

What if we put equal energy into reflecting on what our gift giving has to say — about us?

The gifts we give hold great potential to...

A LISTICLE FROM GOD Jan 10, 2024

Soul Projects is my blog, where I advocate seeking to add more joy to the life you are already living. It is my love letter to those who, like me, are looking for something more. We call ourselves the spiritually curious because we are not sure where we fit. We no longer ascribe to religions, but...

WORKING WITH YOUR ENERGY Jan 09, 2024

Carefully laid plans have a way of tripping us up. That’s because we aren’t the same people when we make the plans, and when we take the action. If I decide today what I will do next Tuesday at 10am, I am using Today Me to make the plans. But often Tomorrow Me has a different idea of...

THE SCAFFOLDING OF YOUR BELIEFS Jan 07, 2024

Prior essays have laid the foundation and this essay aims to take us up a notch. To where? To a new understanding of our own power.

To take life to the next level, you need a framework. And the framework you have is your set of beliefs. Think of your beliefs as scaffolding. You can only climb as...

REVERSING THE JANUARY BLUES Jan 06, 2024

If the start of the new year has you feeling down, consider a reverse audit, where you go backwards through the past year and create a log book for each month that captures all your best moments.

To do this, start with a blank piece of paper and create a heading for each month. I use a 2 x 6...

MAKING IT WORK WHERE YOU ARE Dec 30, 2023

Knowing, and believing, are two different things. One comes from your mind, and the other from your heart. When you hold ideas that your heart does not agree with, you feel the dissonance. Which is why I regularly let go of my limiting beliefs, which never line up with my true wants.

Knowing,...

SETTING AN INTENT THAT WORKS Dec 29, 2023

Are you ready to conquer your goals for 2024? That’s what most of us aim for. Crushing our goals. Overcoming our challenges. Taming our wild selves into submission.

I decided, for 2024, I am taking a new approach to goals. Instead of cooking up ways to get me to do something I don’t...

Dealing with post holiday clutter? Glad that the day went so well, but wishing there was less stuff to deal with? Feeling overwhelmed about assimilating your new items into an already crowded house?

Here is my best advice:

  1. Start with a trash bag in hand. Go around the house...

MEANING BEHIND YOUR WORDS Dec 27, 2023

Life Savers candies are round, colorful, and tasty. Yet we don’t see them saving anyone’s life. They may even be shortening lives, if you listen to the sugar police. But here’s my point: sometimes the words we use have meaning behind them, and sometimes they don’t....

PROPELLED BY A FEELING Dec 26, 2023

New Year’s Goals are a fun way to anticipate change. We make these resolutions feeling positive, upbeat, and hopeful, and there is great energy to those feelings. When I am feeling those emotions, I am super productive. So this year, instead of chasing only goals, I am also chasing...
