I've come to conclude that the language of ‘love' is highly overrated! Having just completed a week-long conversation with a small group of women gathering... talking about their lives... it became clear to me that we have mastered a huge variety of ways to denigrate ourselves in the name of ‘love'. "Love' is not real. It's a nominalization... a code word ... Continue Reading >>

The Audacity of Being Present
I've been reading the blogs and emails of some of the women I spend time with. I've been chatting and listening to the direction their lives have taken since our last time together. There is a theme emerging and I believe it is greatly important to pay attention to it. The theme is this: the audacity of daring to claim our own lives! The audacity of ... Continue Reading >>
Sorting out Shadows
More pieces are coming into my awareness. Yesterday, I had time with a wonderful woman whose company lights up my day! Lisa dropped by the office because of a technical problem with CD's... only to discover once she got there, there were no problems. AND we had a great conversation!

Without exception, the moment always comes with a choice to be ... Continue Reading >>
Restlessness….
I am aware of the degree to which I am restless... agitated... ready to move! I am also mindful of the speed at which change can occur (from my Manifesting 6-day of last week) and the alternative state of paralysis that is a reflection of the attempt to manifest from the intellect. Slooooowwwwwwwing down to re-enter what is considered 'normal' is creating ... Continue Reading >>
From depression/despair to delight!
I had an amazing experience, recently. A very dear friend wrote me in a state of despair. In a moment of engaging, I shared some thoughts with him - and his world changed. Imagine! Such profound shifts from such little effort! Can it really be that effortless? In a matter of days, he started a new life and is now LIVING! If that's not magic, I don't ... Continue Reading >>
