When we are in a growth cycle, there is necessarily a little discomfort. This seems logical to me, as you welcome in some new energy, and release some old energy. There’s a natural changing of the guard that takes place, once you enter a stage of transformation. When I find myself in a...

Are you tired of getting stuck in indecision? Are you uncertain and don’t know the way forward? Are you unsure, tentative, and lacking true motivation? Well, here’s my best advice.

Do nothing.

Indecision is nothing more than the time before you decide. Uncertainty is nothing more than...

Who am I to write about spiritual topics? A question my mind has been serving up lately as I have broadened my reach and begun to share even more of my writing. Here’s my pro tip: any question that starts with “Who am I to” is a question that must be answered with “I...

Paraphernalia is evidence of who we are. I am sitting in my comfortable easy chair, surrounded by a quilt I made, a cookbook, my phone, and my writing tablet. And that says more about me than any bio I could write to introduce myself.

I enjoy being comfortable. At peace. At ease. I also enjoy...

When you have a new goal, one of the best parts of the process of goal planning is creating a project plan. This is where you sit down with a blank sheet of paper and phase out how you will get from where you are, to where you want to go. You imagine each stage, and what it requires from you, and...

For those of us with a strong inner critic (you know who you are), then you might have developed a habit of letting the critic run, but not listening to her. That’s a useful way to cope in life, but it could be detrimental to your health, as you let those crazy, broken ideas run rampant in...

When life serves up a problem, it’s time to use your free resources to help you move to a solution. Here is how I do that. I ask for help. I say, I’m not sure what to do with this problem, but I bet there are a million solutions that I can’t see. Help me see the best one...

Writing, for me, is a pathway. It helps me access my own inner wisdom when I need some advice. When I ask myself good questions, I get good results. So today I am advocating that we all become better at asking questions.

When you trust yourself, you ask questions that presuppose that...

The best laid plans are just that: plans. They aren’t the way, the path, or even the only route. They are one way you could go to reach a goal.

When I make plans, I like to see them as an example of how things could go, but I allow life to serve me even better routes. Why? Because life has...

When I sit to write these posts, I often have a general idea, but not a lot of specifics as to what I want to say. That’s why writing is such an interesting process. It helps to take your jumble of thoughts and put some organization around them.

In much the same way, I use writing for my...

Many of us humans have a tendency to save the best for last or defer pleasure today, so that we can have a happy tomorrow. What if we can have it both ways? What if we can have a happy today and an excellent tomorrow?

We are all so conditioned to believe in trade-offs, that we seem to have lost...
