THE CHALLENGE
Life can get really busy, and one of the challenges I’ve heard over and over again from clients and others is that they just don’t have the time (or energy) to wake up early in the morning and begin the day with prayer and meditation, or with some kind of self-sustaining spiritual practice.
I know [...]

I don’t mean the sit-in-a-box-and-tell-a-priest-all-your-sins kind of confession (if that’s what came to your mind) nor am I referring to the dump-on-someone-by-telling-them-all-the-things-you-did-wrong kind of confession either.
I’m talking about clearing your mind, body and spirit of what bogs you down. It’s all about release, letting go, and moving on. And the beauty of it is: you [...]

This morning I had a revelation: guilt is totally unnecessary.
This, in spite of the fact that everyone I know has some measure of guilt about something.
It’s completely unnecessary.
There’s never a reason or cause to feel guilt, and by the time you finish reading this post you may think a little differently about it, even if [...]

This past Friday, it was my intention to experience and emanate peace, and to infuse peace into everything I did.
Well, when I arrived at Mr. Tire, the peaceful notion I had just had a few minutes earlier was already being challenged. I sat in the customer seating area waiting for my tire to be either [...]

My back right tire has a slow leak, so I thought it needed repairing. When I got to the tire shop, it turns out I need a new tire, the hole couldn’t be plugged.
I think life is like a set of tires.
When there’s nothing wrong with the tires on my car, I take them for [...]

Today is a day for release. Here’s what I am now choosing to release:

I choose to release being small. I vow to stop hiding, playing small and playing not to win.

I choose to release acting dumb. No more pretending I don’t know when I do.
