Challenges…Empowering or Crushing?

No matter how strong your resolve or how prepared you are to achieve your desired goal there will always be a challenge or two swooping in to steal your thunder or slap you in the face, it’s just the nature of being human. How you perceive these challenges will determine your next step towards success….

Getting Caught Up in the Moment…

I have dogs. Three, to be exact. I love my dogs, but sometimes they just get out of control…like tonight. So, as I sit here typing this, listening to the ever increasing sounds of their arfs and woofs, it’s beginning to occur to me how similar to dogs we are. A minute ago there was one lone bark outside…

What is Your Purpose in Life?

Many people have come to me to discover why they are here and what they should be doing with their life. It seems most of us have asked ourselves that question at one time or another and the answer is neither easy nor simple, nor is there an answer that applies to your entire lifetime. As…

Question of the Day…How Can I Give More Love?

It has been written by many spiritual authors, both old and new, “You are either giving love or you are giving fear.” I translate this to mean that when I am struggling I am not giving “love”…When I am unhappy, stressed out, frustrated I am not giving “love”… When I am overly sensitive, worried, disappointed…

Word of the Day…Peace

Today’s word of the day, Peace, had become a kind of buzz word in the late 60’s and into the 70’s as people wanted to end the war in Vietnam. It came back around in the early 2000’s, not because of a war, but as people wanted to de-stress their overworked lives. It’s not quite…

Desperately Seeking…Something

As far back as I can remember I have always been searching for something. It has always felt as if there was something missing, some piece of the puzzle not with the rest, a vacant space where there is supposed to be…well…something. When I was younger I thought that Love was the missing piece of…

Word of the day…Clarity

Clarity may only be seven letters, but it’s such a big word it could be the word of the day for a month. Like many words, clarity’s meaning can be subjective. For me, getting clarity means clearing away emotions, beliefs and ideas that are not aligned with my authentic self. Sometimes that even means getting…

Question of the day…Compromise

For many the idea of a compromise sends up a red flag that says, “You Can’t Have it Your Way, You Have to Accept Less.” Sure, maybe I’m more of a ‘glass half full’ person, but when I think ‘Compromise’ I think Win/Win. I don’t particularly want to be the only happy person in the…

Living an Enchanted Life

I am such a lucky person. I get pretty much everything I want, and the things I don’t get I didn’t really want that badly in the first place. This is not bragging, I really do get everything I want. And, it’s not just stuff, I get people, too. One day when I was about…

Question of the day…Gratitude

How many times can you say thank you today? It’s not about having good manners, although that’s always appreciated, it’s a matter of gratitude. How grateful you are for everything you have – see – do is directly related to how abundant your life is. Energy flows where attention goes and if your attention is…
