The Power of Friendship
Just got off the phone with a good friend. We compared notes about writing assignments, commiserated about book sales, talked about her dogs and my kid and even lamented that the weather in Charlotte is too hot. The forecast where I am too cold. That’s all. We didn’t figure out how to stop oil from spilling into [...]
Connecting to the Good Stuff: Work That Inspires, Uplifts
I’m not a super social person. I’m pretty much happy typing away alone at my desk or reading my books. But, the relationships I have with my family and a few close friends make all the difference in how well I live this life. Big wigs tell us it’s our relationships – our friendships, marriages [...]
Connected by compassion and curiosity
Notes from the Book Tour: It’s been a fast-paced few weeks since the launch of Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People Nov. 1 in Portland. I’ve been to San Francisco and throughout Marin County, Seattle, Vancouver B.C. and Los Angeles with more stops on the schedule. I’ve met scores of people during workshops and [...]
Recharging and revving up
Exciting things are happening here on Imperfect Spirituality in the weeks to come. We’ll finally have the release of my book Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People on Nov. 1 and I’ll be headed to bookstores in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver BC, Los Angeles – and beyond – to meet and greet and [...]
Leading by example and the impact
We are all powerful and just by being all of who we are we can change the lives of others — often without our even knowing it. Leadership Development coordinator at the University of Toronto, Scarborough, Drew Dudley shares this story about his “Lollipop Moment.” Makes you think.
Use your leadership abilities to leave positive impact at home and work
Leadership is a title we bestow on those at Fortune 500 companies or team coaches. We rarely give the stay-at-home mom credit as an effective leader. Seldom do we turn to the quiet guy in the office, the one who consistently works hard producing a good result, as an example of leadership. But, both of [...]
How we are connect to all the universe
I have always written about this greater connection — the thread that extends between all creatures and the Universe. No one is separate — though we think we are at times. Nor, are we separate from the Universal Source. The power is both within and outside of us. This nondual or single perspective is an [...]
Slow down and make your interactions matter
One aspect of spirituality is the belief that we are all connected. It’s an easy idea to swallow, when you get to thinking about this. We share the same molecular structure. I can use your blood or tissue or organs or you can use mine and it will sustain us. We all have the [...]
Kindness is a quick pick-me-up and you can try it at home
Feeling low? Go do something for someone else. Not kidding. I’ve written before about the importance of giving and serving. It’s a biggie. Not only does it make others feel good, but it is actually healing for you. Generosity reduces stress, improves immune system response and helps the heart and improves mental health, says Dr. [...]
The Candle Lighter Award: How the little things change life in a big way
Sunday 10:10 a.m. My husband is out watching football. I love football. My daughter is drawing pictures and coloring princesses. I love coloring with my daughter. And I am in my home office, alone, with the computer and the space heater amped up. I’ve got some serious work to do today. I’m not in the [...]
