Into the Mystic: hiking reveals truths about our need to be capable and in control, and how it takes strength to rely on our friends. I am the oldest child of an oldest child. Raised to be strong, independent, self-reliant, thoughtful, and always looking out for others. The needs of those younger and less capable …
There are some things you figure out early about yourself and others take a while to work out. I know, as I look back, in high school I felt separated from, a little different than my friends and fellow students. At the time I couldn’t pinpoint the source and often felt the tug to figure …
Timing as divine is a difficult concept to pin down because human awareness takes in something about this divine aspect of time as being outside, beyond, external.
What is Soul Intention? There are many ways to answer this question. Here, I describe soul intention from the energetic perspective of Soul Energy Dynamics and the origin of the soul. As the soul enters into individual awareness, there is an immediate attentiveness to the existence of divine source, of All That Is. Through this …
Learning of my own arrogance is a painful experience. Allowing myself the opportunity to shift and grow from the experience is both terrifying and electrifying. I’m not even sure of where to start to share this journey because the seeds have long since been planted and bloomed. Kind of like a gardener trying to get …
As you may know, I have been going through divorce over the last year. A disconcerting process which bounces between deeply painful, wonderfully illuminating, and nearly unintelligible. Bounce is the operative word, like a ball thrown back and forth where sometimes you are the one bouncing the ball and sometimes you are the ball. I …

Open. Allow. Receive. Steps to bring heart and mind together for today and tomorrow, supporting release of whatever no longer serves.
Life in all its messy glory keeps presenting itself to me. I keep thinking that at some point everything that’s been furiously bubbling in my life will simmer down and thicken with deep, mind-blowing meaning. And maybe it will at some point. And then I can write some erudite treatise on the meaning of life. …

Minimizing is like trying to rent your life. It is an effort to avoid claiming, accepting, allowing the wholeness and fullness of your life.
Here’s something about me you might not know: I am protective of my people. By my people, I mean those I am connected to including my family, my friends, my clients — in short, people like you. And when one of my people is threatened, I get a little crazy. It’s this crazy that I have been dealing with the last couple of weeks. When someone threatens me and mine with tons of moving steel in the form of a car and turns our car into a smashed tin can, I get a little crazy.
In late September, my daughter and I were in a car accident. What’s been on my mind since that evening is this question: What keeps me from doing what I want to do?
My special tree stands at the crest of a hill surrounded by beautiful green grass and many other rise and falls of other rolling hills. The grass is alive with wonder and the world around my tree glimmers with hope, and dreams, and the joy of life lived. I see my tree from afar and …

What does it mean to receive your being? This is a process of receiving all of you, of not holding back, of stepping into the best you can be and become. Receiving your being means that you learn to focus your attention and observe as Witness the flow of knowing moving through your Center of …
In this sense the unknowable is that which is just beyond our grasp — that which dances just beyond our field of perception.
