etc.

Maybe that's as good a way as any to describe what an Emerging Future looks/feels like : I get to change my mind.  I get to change my mind often and without hesitation and explanation.  I get to step into a thought and in doing so, find another just over that edge and follow it, instead.  I get to live fully, moment to moment, and have that living reflected ...

Mom and I just got back from spending the day together. Man! That woman is a hoot! I sure hope that there is some genetic coding in there, somewhere, that will allow me to look forward to being 83 and as irreverant, outrageous and funny as she is! The drive to the hair stylist's took 40 mintues - and we laughed all the way. She's really an amazing woman. ... Continue Reading >>

I wrote The Year of Practical Magic... and The 5 Keys to Making it Happen as a reminder to myself to keep moving forward. It is also the first time I've written this way - about 5 keys to anyting! I have identified the 5 things that I believe are essential to creating a different life. Not just talking about and/or thinking about a different life but ... Continue Reading >>

Once again, the end of one year and the beginning of another. Cycles and rhythms. Inhaling and exhaling. Ceaseless… relentless… harbinger of the mindlessness of repetition and the potential of the hope that is carried in the dawning of a new day. Closure. Fresh starts. Moments to reflect on completions and things still undone. If I were to tell the ... Continue Reading >>

It’s Christmas Eve. No matter how it actually unfolds, I am always mindful of a darkened sky, stars blinking through the crisp, cold air; ever-decreasing activity on the road as people reach their destination and settle in for the long-anticipated time with family and loved ones; snow falling softy and quietly, adding to the sparkling cloak that Gaia has ... Continue Reading >>

I had breakfast today, with a woman who has become a deeply meaningful part of my life. I would trust her with my life and, perhaps more importantly, I would trust her with the lives of my sons. I do not say that easily or loosely! My time with her is always a great adventure of discovery, about myself. She and I both know that as we share aspects of our ... Continue Reading >>

I found out, yesterday, that a woman I had come to know from her being a client, has passed on. Since discovering this, I’ve had a couple of phone calls and email exchanges with others who have been touched by her passing and, no doubt, by her having lived. It has left me wondering: if (as I believe) all things unfold exactly as they should, what is ... Continue Reading >>

I'm very fortunate to have people in my life who find things that they know I would have an interest in. One such discovery recently sent to me is the voice of Danielle Rama Hoffman who also embodies the essence that I know as Sekhmet. Let Danielle's words flow through you. Her words describe the truth of my experience of this Sekhmet energy in expression ... Continue Reading >>

I seem to be intimately connected to the weather. When I think a thought, the weather reflects it back to me, in its unique and inimitable way. I’m sitting by the fire, feeling snug and comfy in my blue leather recliner….feet up and laptop at my finger tips. To my left, the two palladium windows offer me a lens through which to watch the world unfold, a ... Continue Reading >>

It’s one of those typical ‘Watch out! Winter’s coming!’ kind of days. Sitting in my office, I look to the left and watch traffic moving quickly along the four lanes of what is the main artery from one end of the city to the other. A grey day….damp and cold…thick with moisture from the falling snow….reminiscent of so many other such days in my long and ... Continue Reading >>

I’m not quite sure where to start in tracking my own thoughts. I’ve had some of the most potent experiences, in the last 10 days, of my entire life. Women gathering in small groups, talking….began with the Whispers from Within writing retreat. A small group of women….sometimes unsure, sometimes afraid, sometimes confused, angry, resentful….and yet through ... Continue Reading >>

Maybe I’m just getting old and crotchety. Or maybe I’ve been having these conversations for so long that I find myself wanting to make quantum leaps and am unwilling to engage in incremental nano-inching as an authentic expression of human potential. And then, maybe it’s none of that – maybe it’s just that my bullshit detector has become so well honed over ... Continue Reading >>

Day 1 of Whispers from Within and already, the outside world is reflecting what we’re discovering inside ourselves. It started to snow…that soft, silent kind of snow…and by the time we were ready to call it a day, it was beginning to transform itself into an equally lightly falling rain. The weather man says tomorrow will bring rain, high winds and a storm ... Continue Reading >>

I read Sarah’s blog today. I stand with her as she chooses to stand alone, claiming the truth of her own experience. There are those among us who have been victims. There are those among us who are perpetrators. There are those among us who would prefer to think that neither exist; that we are over-reacting, or blowing things out of proportion or ... Continue Reading >>

It’s one of those days that those of us who know snow, know well. It’s been snowing for almost 18 hours and the world has become the page that this monochromatic message is written on. Last night, I lay in bed and watched tiny snow flakes fall like a wall of frozen rain. Against the night sky, the background was lit by street lamps, making everything ... Continue Reading >>

I blinked - and almost 10 days went by. I wonder how that happens....I've been spending my 'time' in the future....considering, wondering, pondering, exploring, discovering....getting a 'sense' of what it will take for Intention 2009 to manifest. Since January 2006, elements have been falling into place; and clarity has emerged about those essential ... Continue Reading >>

I am exhilarated! I just spent two days in amazing, wonderful, weird, compelling, provocative, evocative conversations with a small group of women, discovering all that I have to say about The CODE Model™ and CODE Model Coaching™. I surprised myself! These things – The CODE Model and CODE Model Coaching – are not anything that I learned or worked at or ... Continue Reading >>

Last night, I had an opportunity to spend time in conversation with Sarah. It became evident very quickly how much clarity she had; how willing she is to do what it takes; and how able she has become to identify what is deeply meaningful to her and do what it takes to live it. Sarah has done what it takes. She has reached out to people who can work with ... Continue Reading >>

For the last few months, I have been aware of this pressure, this need, to cleanse…or empty…or clean out. I am mindful of how full my closets are, my shelves are, my house is, my life is, my body is with ‘stuff’ that has accumulated over my lifetime. It is not that these things did not serve their purpose or, in their time, did not bring me great joy. Nor ... Continue Reading >>

I read Lori's latest blog entry on 'Speaking Up....Speaking Out'. There are far too many places in the world where women are legitimately in grave danger when they give voice to their own thoughts. Making a simple request or declining to engage in some way will get you killed. Fortunately, for most of us, this country is not one of those places. Perhaps ... Continue Reading >>

Yesterday, I got a call from the woman in New York who is our publicist. She had an opportunity to offer me: a journalist for major print media was looking for someone with children (that would be me) to comment on how to get children to wash their hands in light of the (latest) wave of medical concern called MRSA - a staph infection that is highly ... Continue Reading >>

It’s not enough: • for me to breathe once a day….and hope that for the remainder of my day, someone else will breathe for me. • to say ‘no’ only when I’ve run out of reasons not to say ‘yes’, knowing all along that ‘no’ was my truth.• to be silent to avoid being irritating or annoying or shunned when the absence of my voice ensures the slow but steady ... Continue Reading >>

...to discover the tasty morsels that have slowly sunk to the bottom in the great stew of life! Today, I'm exhilerated and exhausted - both at the same time. I am just buzzing with the potential that we all are - ready to rock and roll! - and in the same instant, am ready for a nap. It occurs to me that this is another real-life, real-time example of how ... Continue Reading >>

Day 4 of Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed is over. This small group of women covered more ground in four days than most of us cover in four years. It wasn't always easy and it wasn't always fun - and it was worth every second. Today, they look and sound different. They are more awake..more present...more connected to themselves. They have clarity. They ... Continue Reading >>

Day 4 - and we're almost done. Bellies full from yet another great meal at Oceanstone; a few off to shop at Peggy's Cove; and we return to complete the cycle of this experience in readiness for the next. Beginnings and endings and new beginnings - all standing in the same space, at a different time. Who would have thought that we could pack so much living ... Continue Reading >>

Day 3 of the 'Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed' women's retreat. More than any other time, today it is very clear to me: leadership is a state of mind. It has nothing to do with credentials, positional leverage, social status, etc....it has to do with who we are. LIke charity begins at home, leadership begins in creating our own lives. We lead the same ... Continue Reading >>

Day 2 of the Emerging Futures: Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed. Metaphors are wonderful things. Today's was that of smoke leaving the fireplace and wafting into the room. It was not the only smoke there. Through the day, I was aware of the degree to which women have become habituated to being nice; to staying in the conversations at the level of the ... Continue Reading >>

I sit here, in the dark, feeling the need to write yet unsure about what seems to need saying such that my body has been awake since 4:30 a.m. Again, a restlessness that prods me to consciousness of body and mind, pushing for connection to my fingers and the keyboard. And so, here I am, not quite knowing where to start and ready to engage nonetheless. I ... Continue Reading >>

Day 1 of 'Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed'. Although our day has been a leisurely one (3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon), it feels as if we've been here for days! Insights, discoveries and instant change are not a function of time invested. They are the natural by-product of our willingness to be present, to be aware and to engage. I ... Continue Reading >>

Human beings are contagious, of that there is no doubt. For me, the more important question has always been: what am I spreading? Mindless contagion (the spread of a thought, behaviour or intention from one deeply habituated/sleeping being to another) will occur, whether I want it to or not. It's called enculturation. It is an essential part of who we ... Continue Reading >>

Today, I leave for Oceanstone for a week. The first four days will be spent in the company of women, engaging in one of the most potent conversations I know of: that of 'Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed'....in an Emerging Futures context. This is the third such retreat, of which I know there will be many, many more. This time, I had the opportunity to ... Continue Reading >>

Well, that was fun! Frankie Picasso created great space for Amy McNaughton, Lori Walton and Anne Thibeault-Berube and myself to talk about the things that are meaningful to each of us. Without exception, the four of us found that the time just flew by. Imagine...four women running out of chat time.... Who would have thought....The link to the radio ... Continue Reading >>

I recently got an email from a woman in BC requesting nominations for women considered worthy of recognition for having done something/created something/given something/made something happen/etc.... It struck me that without exception (at least, in my awareness of how it works), all is premised on the need for someone else to say that you are ... Continue Reading >>

This Thursday, from 5:00 to 6:00 pm Ottawa time, I'll be a guest on the internet radio show Mission Unstoppable with Coach Frankie Picasso. The conversation will focus on the new four-day women's retreat called Emerging Futures: Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed. I'll be joined by Lori Walton, Amy McNaughton and Anne Thibeault-Berube, all of whom were in ... Continue Reading >>

I’ve been pondering this notion of ‘thanksgiving’…of giving thanks. I was wondering to whom I am giving thanks? It may well be that many give thanks to their god for their lives. Others don’t have anyone to thank in that there is no god in their lives. And still others feel that they have nothing to give thanks for. If anything, they’re angry, resentful ... Continue Reading >>

Where does the time go? I'm beginning to notice that on the holodeck of my experience, time is doing some interesting things. Two weeks ago, I had my first experience of Manifesting a Meaningful Life . All I can say is WOW! - what an incredible ride! I'm happy to say that given all that is emerging in my life, I recorded the full six days. I know there ... Continue Reading >>

I’m back from an intense journey into Manifesting a Meaningful Life. Seven of us chose to engage and stay with some of the most intense, provocative, compelling and sometimes most difficult conversations that I’ve had the honor of being part of, for some time. When I think about the life that I’ve created for myself…the life that I’ve manifested from what ... Continue Reading >>

Day 3 of 'Manifesting a Meaningful Life' is half-way through. As much as I am a full participant in this process in one way, I am also separate from it in other ways. What it says to me is that I can chanage my life - completely! - in the blink of an eye. It tells me that manifestation shaped by meaning creates a magical life. It tells me that it's easy ... Continue Reading >>

Kofi Annan has said that the future of the world is in the hands of women. Others have said similar things. Inside - where I live - I know this to be true. Women are unbelievably powerful! Not when we strive to be like men but when we choose to be the woman that we are. We are still the gender that gives birth. We are still the hand that rocks the ... Continue Reading >>

I'm noticing how easy it is to slide back into the status quo....to let the steady hum of habit take over living moment-to-moment, resulting in what was becoming our only choice for what can become. It takes effort - of body, mind and spirit - to stay awake. Why? Not because sleep is the essence of our being. On the contrary, I believe being awake is ... Continue Reading >>

Years ago, on my second trip to Kona, Hawaii, I was drawn to a ring. A silver ‘shield’ that covers the finger from knuckle to knuckle, it carries a carved silver turtle on its back and two sea shells, with an amethyst nestled between the sea shells. I wore it constantly for many years, such that the band took the shape of my finger; never taking it off ... Continue Reading >>

Wow! Where have I been??? It feels as if space and time have compressed and I went to bed on August 29th and woke up on September 7th! How kool is that! Louise-Van-Winkle….Looking back, it feels as if I’ve come through some kind of maze….have maneuvered myself through experiences and conversations and discoveries that churned and turned and twisted ... Continue Reading >>

I've been watching the moon out of my bedroom window. These last few nights, it's reminded me of my trip to Mauna Kea and the observatories on the Big Island. The night I was there, the moon was so full and bright that we could not look at it through the telescope. Blinding! That was the same night I saw a 'moonbow'....a rainbow but from the moon....a ... Continue Reading >>

It's another one of those moments that just showed up...in the middle of nothing even remotely connected to the notion/topic/idea...and caught me by surprise. Years ago, when I was about to turn 40, I was in a good job, doing my thing and not thinking about any of it too much. I can't say that I was unhappy. It was more that I was busy living and hadn't ... Continue Reading >>

My world is changing - fast! My world - the world my sons will inherit from me as one of its architects - is in dire need of change.Change will come, inevitably. What I care about is whether that change comes from a state of awakened, mindful choice or from the peristaltic movement of my history forcing its way through the tight, narrow tubular structures ... Continue Reading >>

There was a time when I looked to others to define who I was to become. Not because I believed it to be the thing to do, but because I knew nothing else. No alternative existed in the structure of my reality. It just was.As a child, it never occurred to me to NOT seek approval and applause from my parents, my teachers, my elders….from all those others who ... Continue Reading >>

I had lunch today with a friend whose company I thoroughly enjoy. I always come away from our ‘quarterly meetings’ with new notions to ponder and a great sense of being loved, supported and valued. I walk away from our time together focusing my attention on such huge and expansive thoughts…such potential and possibilities….all of which result in my feeling ... Continue Reading >>

I’m noticing how life just goes on. This feels connected to that idea of pondering what I might say (what different things might I say, and how might I say them differently, etc.) if I knew that I had 6 months…6 weeks…6 days to live. I take so much for granted. Things like….my sons will always come home from their last outing; that my Dad will be there on ... Continue Reading >>

It’s good to be home! As much as I enjoyed my experience of rest, relaxation and no laptop, I’m ready to re-engage.As I lived it and as I reflect upon it, it’s clear that my experience of Alaska is a metaphor. This was my fourth cruise to this magnificent place and it was clear to me how things were ‘the same but different’, as the Hawaiians would say. ... Continue Reading >>

I'm off to Alaska on a cruise - and I"m ready for the rest. This will be my 4th cruise to Alaska and already, in anticipation of this trip, I am experiencing flashes of memory from the other trips. Like my first trip, stepping out onto the balcony of the suite around 10:00 pm and being amazed as I looked toward the bow of the ship and watched the fog ... Continue Reading >>

I’m not even thinking in complete thoughts, these days. It feels more like thought ‘blips’ or perhaps sound bytes in my head. Things like:* We need new language for the ‘energy’ conversation. We talk about ‘energy’ the same way that we talk about emotions/feelings, etc. – in the language of good/bad, right/wrong; in the language of ‘broken’ (i.e. holes in my ... Continue Reading >>

For whatever reason, several people have asked me lately (at different times), just how far back we have to go to know the roots of the Androgynous Baby(TM) experiece. My feeling about that is that it does not really matter - what matters is how we live from this moment on. Where it began does not matter - where it ends, does...and it ends with me, in my ... Continue Reading >>

I am mindful that it has been a while since I've been here. So much has happened and I have not a clue where to begin.IWI was an intense and powerful experience. As I took a few days to just live my life, from one day to the next, intensity found me again on Thursday. I've been spending the last four days tending to a family emergency, wondering all the ... Continue Reading >>

Today was the last day of Influencing with Intention. This one went further, faster and with greater intensity than any that I've experienced before. This one is testimony to the degree to which people are both willing and able to engage for their own evolution. There were some incredible moments of compelling discovery and creative thinking. There were ... Continue Reading >>

The conversations about the family are always the tough ones. We've learned well how to deny the truth of our experience and hold to the party line on how it all went down. The problem with that is that the body never lies. NEVER!Although today was only Day 2 of IWI, we're already into the conversation about the roles we took on in our early family system; ... Continue Reading >>

Once again, my life was filled with magic and miracles! As I moved from one day to the next through ITS and RIA, I found myself marvelling at my life.I have created a life that calls to me the people who desire to discover the 'more' that they instinctively know they are.My life is filled with men and women who have courage befitting the size of their ... Continue Reading >>

Day 2 of ITS. Day 4 of RIA. By noon yesterday, I was amazed at how quickly this group had come together! The check-ins were open, honest, direct and clear. They were also filled with laughter and irreverance, with the familiar scent of potential filling the air. In its weird and wonderful way, the experience shapes itself - weaving one seemingly ... Continue Reading >>

Today was the first day of my last pass in RIA. A strange feeling - knowing that in the future, it will be Koreen who walks with these folks who are stepping up to create bigger lives for themselves. When folks arrive on Monday for ITS, their return will be welcomed by Koreen. I'll not be part of this process again after July 23rd. I've been in the program ... Continue Reading >>

Every now and then, I stop and wonder : am I living the life that lights me up? Am I living the life that reflects the majesty of who I know myself to be capable of being? Am I moving through my days in a way that honors the potential of who I already am? And perhaps the biggest of them all : if I am indeed the godforce in expression in a physical world, how ... Continue Reading >>

Here I was... wandering through my day, thinking that it was going to be an easy ride… and two things happen in quick succession.First, I get an email from a client in great distress because their young teenage grandchild has been taken by police into psychiatric assessment for trying to stab the mother. The question put to me was: why do our children carry ... Continue Reading >>

In the last months, I've had the real pleasure of interviewing three people to capture their wisdom, insight and vision on a range of topics. From a conversation about addiction (with Ray Landry) to one about finding the courage to decloak and show up for our own lives (with Amy McNaughton) to one about life beyond eating disorders (with Koreen Kimakowich), ... Continue Reading >>

It’s been a great day! I had lunch by the water with a woman whose company I thoroughly enjoy. We concluded today that the only way you can really know how you’ll do at the deep end of the pool is to venture in to the deep end of the pool! Until that happens, it’s all philosophy, hearsay, wishing and hope. It‘s all story without wisdom. We concluded that ... Continue Reading >>

It's been a busy day on the outside but a quiet one on the inside. As much as there is always a barrage of emails and phone calls, my inner state is one of quiet watching. What am I watching for? I wonder.....I feel such longing for....something! Something new and different. Something stunning and outstanding! Something compelling and provocative that ... Continue Reading >>

Today, in every conversation and email, I could feel the quickening. The effects of last week's Emerging Futures: Leadership Redefined - Reclaimed continues to reverberate through all that I think and say and do. It is as if I am vibrating at a different frequency.When I read Anne's post on her blog re 'Redefining Education', I got goose bumps. My goose ... Continue Reading >>

If, as the fabric from which the WEL-Systems material emerged, I am the first wave, then those who discovered from me would be the second; and those who discovered from them would be the third. During the last few days, I became greatly awakened to what has been birthed. The Third Wave is moving much faster and further than the first two and has already ... Continue Reading >>

I was reading a note from one of the Emerging Futures participants....one that spoke of her sense of excitement and enthusiasm, followed by the well-intentioned efforts of a loved one to encourage her to 'calm down'. I was immediately transported back to a time in my own life, so very long ago, when my brother and I were having a grand time at the dinner ... Continue Reading >>

I realize that I am no longer seeking. In this and every moment, I am mindful of fully living what unfolds in me - from one breath to the next. And THAT is what keeps my heart beating.Breathing is good..... ... Continue Reading >>

I woke up this morning with such a sense of the dawning of a new day. As if, from a fresh start, anything is possible for me to be....to do...to create.From that place, I made my way to my computer and checked out the WEL-Systems Blogging Community links to see what the folks are up to today - and I found Anne's blog. I felt such joy to read of her ... Continue Reading >>

Wow! I can't believe how fast that went! Seems like I just got to Oceanstone and before I knew it, I was at the airport in Halifax, waiting for my flight home. Not a moment dragged. Not a conversation took place that was not full of discovery, potential, insights and ideas. Every woman who participated left this new Emerging Futures and Women: Leadership ... Continue Reading >>

The end of our first full day and we are all different. More awake. More open. More curious. And perhaps most important, more willing to engage - whether we know how to or not.As we went through the day and I listened to these women discover their dreams and share their lives, I found myself wondering what the essential element for accelerated evolution ... Continue Reading >>

Our first conversation took us long into the night. It's almost 1:00 a.m. and I am wide awake and ready for more!Those who have gathered here are ready, willing and up to the task. It is not by accident that they have gathered; and it is by design that each will be a critical part in my own evolution...in the appearance of the next wave.Oceanstone fills the ... Continue Reading >>

Things are stirring as I get ready to spend my week in conversation with women, about women and leadership. Leadership redefined - leadership reclaimed. I have no idea what to expect - and isn't that the point of an emerging future! I'm very ready for this; am very willing to step into it; and am very able to engage it all. Those who will be with me ... Continue Reading >>

I'm in Quebec City for a few days, hanging out with my mother and shopping. I had no idea she could move that fast. It would seem that to her, the sound of doors opening at 9:00 a.m. is akin to that of a starter pistol. Although it's only been three days, I feel somehow rekindled and ready for more! Who would have thought that treking through shopping ... Continue Reading >>

For days, now, this phrase has been going through my mind: "Before healing comes awakening". Over and over again, this same thought repeating itself, obviously intent on staying in my awareness until I do something with it! Today is the day.It makes sense to me. What it says to me is that dis-ease or illness is an indication of a being in a deep sleep ... Continue Reading >>

It is one of those days when my outside clock tells me that it’s been a long day and I need to sleep but my inside clock tells me that it’s time to write. I look around me and still see the movement of others in the house, and out on the street below and yet, inside – where I live – I am feeling pulled into that dense, timeless fog that is one of the gifts ... Continue Reading >>

I am a work-in-progress….perhaps more now than ever before. Even I am surprised by what flows in and out of my thoughts, and the degree to which I am different from one day to the next. I am surprised by my own impatience – eager to get on with it!I am excited by my sense of what the future holds – for me and for others. I am sometimes fearful – and most ... Continue Reading >>

….who I have been, that I might remember who I am.… the words that are familiar to me that I might discover new ones that awaken me… what it feels like to know that I might experience the joy of not knowing with grace.Things continue to move so fast. In those moments, I wonder… am I in a fog or is this just a blur from watching things go by? And if so, ... Continue Reading >>

I was in conversation today with Lori and found myself describing my life this way….Imagine the image of a train speeding down a track and hanging on to the railing of the caboose for dear life by one hand….is me! The most interesting part for me is that in that image, I am blinded by the intensity of my own smile. It seems that I enjoy the experience of ... Continue Reading >>

We complain about the current status of our world... but we do not complain about who we have been to create such a result.Perhaps, if we were to focus our attention on the source of our havoc (us!), we would create something very different. However, to do this, we would each have to recognize the part we play in its ongoing manifestation, rather than stand ... Continue Reading >>

I’m noticing that things inside me have an ebb and flow. As much as there can be wave after wave of insight, discovery and new possibilities, I am also mindful that sometimes... and not always with warning… it all stops. Inside myself, I become aware of an immense stillness. The image that comes to mind is that of a tall-masted ship, sails sagging as it ... Continue Reading >>

I am aware that I’m different.I don’t sit around and think about things a lot. When something feels right to me and for me, I engage. When I have a conversation with someone and through that conversation things call to me, I hang up and engage. It may mean that I make another call, or send an email to connect a couple of people, but whatever it is, I do it ... Continue Reading >>

It’s getting clearer to me, now. I know why women are dying in such huge numbers. In so many different ways, so many different cultures, so many different environments and contexts and geographies.Hiding is killing us. Silencing ourselves is killing us. Being small and puny is killing us. Forcing ourselves to be less than who we are so that others will ... Continue Reading >>

I’m restless again. It’s not that I don’t have enough to do! I could make calls, send emails, talk with/see people, write articles/books; record and edit for 18 hours a day and still have more to do – but that’s not it.It’s not about getting things done or even making a difference. It’s not about what we do or the outcome we get. It’s about how we go ... Continue Reading >>

In my usual fashion, my attention has been moving sprightly across a broad range of attractors. Like little flashing lights of potential, my gaze wanders (not over but) through a range of sounds and images that in some way, all call to me to engage.I’m noticing that this is occurring far more quickly than I can calibrate for with my intellect. I’m ... Continue Reading >>

BreatheFollow the impulseLet yourself know the truth of your own experienceThe impulse is equivalent to the point of the particle formation potential in the void. The impulse is the body's way of letting us know that we are in a moment of the possibility of creation. We choose to act... or not.Those situations where there is an impulse, occur when there is ... Continue Reading >>

I’m cleaning stuff out, today. Getting rid of things that take up space in my life and yet, given who I’ve become, have no place in my life. I found journals, from as far back as 19990 – when I began my first business. And there I was, reading journals instead of doing what I’d set out to do, yet realizing that there are no accidents in the universe.I read ... Continue Reading >>

My last few days have been spent finalizing the 3rd Edition of Fully Alive, getting the manuscript ready for production. I’m also continuing to work on my Huna book; and have finally completed the list of material to record in the next few weeks. The list is long, having decided to exhaust all that I have to say (is that ever possible???) about all of the ... Continue Reading >>

Another week of Igniting the Self has completed itself and, as always, I am not now who I was when I began, this time last week. It is amazing to me how easy it can be and how far/fast we can move without effort. It’s never about effort – it’s always about Intention, Attention and the willingness to engage.Like everything else in my life since January 2006, ... Continue Reading >>

Long day – and I’m wide awake. The wee hours of the morning once again wrap me in a most welcomed stillness. The house is quiet, some sleeping soundly, others not yet home from their evening of time spent with friends.I sink effortlessly into my own thoughts, staccato sound of my fingers across the keys drifting into the background, each letter an invitation ... Continue Reading >>

It’s tough to get moving after not having moved for a while. It’s equally tough to start living after not having lived for a while.Watching other people live is not living. Wanting, wishing, hoping for….these are the indications of a view from the bleachers and not from the playing field. Telling ourselves how other people should live (i.e. what plays ... Continue Reading >>
