When the student is ready, the teacher will come… Such was the case for me yesterday. I got my feelings hurt BIG time…and I must admit it took me several, several hours till I got my boat turned around. Anger, resentment, silent treatment, projection onto others…I worked it with the best of them. Finally, a [...]

Look for the Lesson
May 10th, 2010Recovering from “Bad Urges”
January 28th, 2010Lou Holtz in his video Do Right said one thing is universal: you are going to have problems. Try as you might, you cannot escape problems long term. They are a natural part of our human experience. www.tut.com says it this way… “If you knew how much you have in common with every single person [...]
Realtionships…Sanding Away the Rough Edges
December 2nd, 2009This morning’s daily quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer caused my mind to wander… “The last suit that you wear, you don’t need any pockets.” When you get right down to it, the important things in life simply aren’t about material things. If that is so, then what is important in life? Surely it would be [...]
“Enjoy Each Step Along the Way”
October 17th, 2009“When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It’s to enjoy each step along the way.” — Wayne Dyer What a beautiful reminder that we sometimes need to paste to our foreheads…especially me. What a week it has been. My book, Stop the Needless Suffering, arrived on [...]
"Learn to Live, Love"
September 16th, 2009“Learn to live, love…” Just now I heard someone quote this phrase, which he said came from the book The Shack. Does anyone know for sure? Is that book truly the source? The phrase was so intriguing, I did a Google search to see if I could identify the source. I found many sites using [...]
Give it Away, Throw it Away, Clean it Out…
August 11th, 2009Today has gotten off to a slow start for me. Ever had a morning like that? The “to do” list is piled high, and yet nothing seems to fall into place? It occurred to me to pause and figure out what is going on here? I decided to take a look at where my mind [...]
Create Good Memories
August 7th, 2009On my walk this morning, I listened to the weekly recorded call, “Breakfast with Bob,” by best-selling author, Robert G. Allen. I was struck by a comment he made: “Good parents create good memories; bad parents create bad memories.” Bob had just returned from a family vacation/reunion in Canada. He reviewed the beautiful memories he [...]
"Change Your Thoughts – Change Your Life"
July 31st, 2009Traumas from childhood that affect our lives? I wonder, unknown to each other, if we all don’t have them? This week I have been involved in deep conversations with members of two different families, and both of their stories seem oddly the same. When I look into my own back yard, I find that I, [...]
The Positive Face of Adversity…
July 29th, 2009One of life’s snafus presented itself for me to deal with yesterday. At snafu times, it is so easy to feel sorry for ourselves. We can consume the whole day in our anguish…or we can make the choice to appreciate the contrast and choose to see the Divine in each person. What good is worry? [...]
