You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.

When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.

  • The Discipline of Anticipatory Gratitude

    Long before modern psychology began naming the ways our beliefs shape our behavior, the Japanese had a practice that quietly captured the same truth. They called it Yoshuku — written with the characters for “beforehand” (予) and “celebration” or “blessing” (祝). A pre-celebration. A blessing in advance. A recognition of a future harvest while the…

  • The secret power we all possess

    We are all uniquely blessed, with various talents and gifts yet there is one thing we all possess and that is a voice. Our voice is what we use to let the Universe know what we want, it is how we communicate with the world and how we ensure that our cups continue to overflow…

  • Do You Have a Daily Ritual/Practice?

    It’s a real question 🙂 I am not trying to sell you on adopting one that I’ve adopted that works. I am curious…that’s all. Let me know in the comments below. I’ve found that without some kind of ritual, I get easily lost in distraction…slipping down Facebook rabbit holes, getting roped into a story that’s…

  • Living on Purpose

    This morning I woke up to the news of Marcia Henville’s untimely death. I didn’t know Marcia personally yet I felt as if I knew her. She influenced so many in a positive way. She spoke her mind, was true to her cause and didn’t seem to give a damn about what others thought about…

  • 2012 in review

    Just a quick post to say “thank you” for your support. Writing can sometimes be a lonely journey but then people reach out, comment and let you know that something you said is helping them along the way. I am truly grateful for the ability to shape my thoughts into paragraphs of words that sometimes…

  • Reconnecting with yourself…Truly Connecting with others…

    Detachment is the easy way out to not FEELING anything. You look on, don’t get involved, and the moment passes without you in it. Play it safe. Stay on the sidelines. Feel no pain. Feel nothing really. But then… The emptiness is more than you can bear because life is about connection. Connecting to yourself…

  • Making Good Money, (with Great Benefits) but Find that Something is still Missing? Read this…

    Just finished reading the first chapter [get your free chapter here] of “Escape from Cubicle Nation” by Pamela Slim. I intend to buy the book – the first chapter is THAT good! But not just for the entertainment factor. You see Pamela has articulated what I have felt for far to long and have been…

  • Igniting the Spirit

    Some of the best Oprah shows have been the ones when she gives away “wildest dream” gifts. Not because of the gifts themselves although the gifts are always great. But because I often think about how locked in I am emotionally when the giving takes place. How deeply I feel the power of the moment.…
