You have forgotten who you are and are here to remember. Awakening to the reality of who you are, is the dance of life on earth.  Awareness is the key in how to move forward from presence.  Awareness is always accessible in the moment.

Ugh – Resistance! Icky Sticky Stuff. . . or The Portal to Transformation

Posted by:

All human beings are creative/creators, whether or not we claim this capacity. No matter what you are experiencing in the moment, you had a hand in creating it.

You’ll find resistance hiding in plain sight, in any excuse you offer. It’s not bad, it’s a part ...

Suffering as an Invitation

Posted by:

Many of the challenges we face cannot be addressed by medicine, government, religion or the legal system.  The challenges are tests and wake-up calls reminding us to look within and listen deeply.  It is a collective journey we must each make singularly at first.  Our perception of suffering asks us to notice and dislodge old beliefs that separate us from our true nature – divinity.

Create a Spiritual Credo: Live Inside Out

Posted by:

What do you do for spiritual self-care? Do you live by a personal credo?  I sometimes struggle to figure out how I can become more effective, disciplined and accountable.  Who has the answer? What approach fits me?  There are so many “experts,” it’s a challenge to identify a system or teacher to trust & follow.

I want to feel like this every day!

In New England, resident elders are usually rugged individualists. This can make conversations about assisted living more of a challenge. Typically, people place more value on maintaining independence here in the Northeast. The reluctance to recognize the need to accept help can be a daunting hurdle.

Several factors may come into play – are there family members or in-home caretakers readily available to visit over time to observe how the elder is doing? What terms are you one with the elder(s) ...

Establish a Growth Mindset in Sports

Posted by:

Adult learners often try to master skills sooner than is practical.  If you lack patience or an inclination to experiment, you might put too much pressure on yourself.  In order to succeed, ultimately, achievement in sports rests upon sound process, repetition, and readiness to fail – yes, FAIL.  The reality is, unless you are willing to look silly, try new things, take risks and learn from what happens, you will not advance your skills or develop depth in your sport.

Try looking at your sport as an opportunity ...
