Going Deep

April 25, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Everything starts with awareness.  You can choose to be aware in any moment.  Every moment is a new beginning.  There are a myriad of moments and new beginnings in every day.  This is one recipe for unlimited possibilities.  On your mark.  Get set.  GO! What is your first reaction to these ideas? Tag You’re It!

Love & Power

April 23, 2014 · Leave a Comment

I will give you my love, but I will not give you my power. I never made that distinction before! They are not the same and cleaving them like this feels true and right.  For a brief moment I thought I had to get permission to love. But then I came to understand there is […]

Normalization?

April 7, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Life is beginning to make itself fuller with more activities to choose from. I am told this is how ABUNDANCE shows up! With these happenings I begin to wade back into the stream of life.

Get Busy Livin’

“Life presses upon us, forever challenging us with new forms of vitality that threaten the status quo which feels so good with its stability and peace. Religions seem to hate Pan and his vitality. Often, they prefer the death principle. Let things be as they always have been. No intrusions of vitality, please. I think […]

Alchemy of Grief

December 3, 2013 · 1 Comment

Painful memories come at the strangest times. The memories aren’t painful, they are warm and joy filled. The pain comes when memory is wed to the current moment.  Shopping for groceries I pass by the in store Starbucks. Michael always stopped at the retail display to hunt for dishwasher safe travel mugs. Not for himself, […]
