The Secret To Being Powerful

I promise,

you are capable of so much more than you realize

and, deep down inside, you know it too.

And you do know it, don’t you?  Deep down – where the truth be told – you know you are powerful.  Deep down, you know it’s your birthright. Human beings are born naturally powerful. We are biologically and divinely programmed to survive, to thrive, to grow and to excel. Spiritually, we are meant to be happy, joyful, useful, and alive. (more…)

Where Do You Want to Live?

 Not the address, not a physical place where you eat and sleep,
but the place within you that knows your heart’s longings,
the place inside that you call home.

I have a recurring dream that has always baffled me.  It baffles me because, by content alone, the dream should upset, unsettle, and scare me.  But it doesn’t.  It actually enlivens me and causes me to want to dream more.  You might say, my dream wakes me up to my life. (more…)

If I Were Brave…..

This title is a line from an unbelievably empowering song by Jana Stanfield. Check it out on iTunes. I use it in all of my retreats and workshops when I ask people to envision the life of their dreams.

Happy New Year: Are You Ready?

As Mary Oliver says, this is “your one wild and precious life“…                           So, tell me, how’s it going?                                                                                               Are you living life full and fulfilling?                                                                                     Are you living how you want to be living?                                                                        If you aren’t, then when?                                                                                                       I suggest the time is NOW!
