“Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Seriously. Today, drop your nonsense at the door. Get rid of the beliefs that are making you less than. Adopt those that are helpful and encouraging. [...]
There really is something to this mind-body-spirit connection and when all three are in alignment you’re going to feel better. This is then, where spirituality and personal development become physical. Our posture and the way we move our bodies are a couple of the ways to connect the three dimensions of self. We forget to [...]
The other night we spent 20 minutes looking for Racoony, a stuffed raccoon (we’re clever with our names here) that looks more like a rat. It was bedtime, exactly the moment when the light is to be off and we give last-minute kisses and head out of the bedroom. That was exactly the same minute [...]
Several years ago a wise friend of mine and former Buddhist monk explained that challenges – or things that we have a hard time dealing with – are simply things we are less skilled at.

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 [...]
On Monday I wrote about a report in Glamour Magazine that says that 97-percent of all women have a negative thought about their physical body – EVERY DAY. I’m thinking that is not at all helpful. And while there are plenty of things to blame and complain about that influence how women feel about themselves, [...]
