Have you ever wondered where ideas come from? Why am I thinking about her, right now. Why am I in this room and what inspired me to go here? Why did I find myself saying that? These questions prompted me to see all my thoughts as holding value, even if I could not see how. Maybe they...

December. What a glorious month. The last month out-shines all the others, with its festive spirit and positive outlook. It turns the ordinary into the magical, and non-believers into believers.

I enjoy December because I love the anticipation of a new beginning. I enjoy it so much that I often...

This post is for the fellow holiday shoppers.

We plan. We order. We unbox. We rebox. We wrap. All in order to make sure that those we love have a good holiday. All to make sure others are happy. All to make sure that we can be happy, too, once they are all happy.

All to make sure that we can be...

When issues of identity arise, they are always issues of fear. Will I be accepted if I show up as my true self? Will I be ok if I allow others to see me in truth? Am I good enough to do this work?

Those of us who touch on spiritual topics all go through a phase like this: Who am I to...

Throughout all my work, I advocate that you begin to practice new ideas. Take any idea that you want to be true, say it enough times, and it has a way of becoming true for you. I do this all the time now as I seek to create new ideas of who I am and what my future looks like.

Yet one idea kept...

Have you ever wondered why home feels so good? Why we often heave a sigh of relief when we get back home? Why we sleep better, feel better, and do better when we are anchored in our homes?

Home, for me, is the space where I can truly be myself. Not that I have to pretend in other areas of my...

The holidays naturally trigger our own personal expectations, which often are far loftier than the holiday season can deliver for us. So I decided to create a few rules to help me, and those I love, have a fabulous holiday.

1. Set an intent. I set this one: I intend to enjoy every day of this...

The joy of the holiday season doesn’t end with gift giving. Instead, it starts on the day we exchange gifts. The days after that are the true holidays as we relax into being together, days off, and family time.

Yet the gift giving day gets most of our attention. I suppose that’s...

In the last post, we redefined success to focus on the moments. We boldly reclaimed our power to define success for ourselves, and then created a definition that empowered us, instead of a definition that fatigues us. And that fatigue is the topic for today.

Fatigue is an indicator that we are...

Believing in yourself, and your ability to know, is a key element of a successful life. How can you know that you have achieved success, however, until you define success? So today I am writing about my personal definition of success.

Believing in yourself, and your ability to know, is a key...

What if our thoughts were visible?

What if they took on the form of a cloud, whose size would reveal how often you had that thought?

What if a single idea was like a strand of cotton candy that adhered together with like ideas until the group of ideas was a sticky mess?

That’s how I see...

When life presents you with options, my preferred means of progressing is to ask myself, what is the best course of action for me? Which path benefits me? Which option will lead to greater joy for me?

I ask these questions not because I am selfish. I ask these questions because the only...
