Around the globe we are leaving behind 2009 and beginning 2010. In Vancouver it will bring the Olympics and a party that has been planned for six years but for tonight it will simply be reviewing what has happened and hoping for what can happen next year. I believe that the most important aspect of…
It is said that nature abhors a vacuum and so now that we have done some housekeeping to end off our year we need to make sure we are open to the endless possibilities life provides us. I find one of the easiest ways to achieve openness is by meditation and so today I thought…
Sometimes inside we have multiple internal personas and I am not talking about having a disability either. Sometimes they help us but often they hurt us. You have heard the saying “we can be our own worst enemy” and this is what I am talking about today. The oppressor can fall into three archtypes I…
It may be beautiful but it is still dead leaves! What is it that you are still carrying around that you might be better off without in 2010? I am talking about stories. Old stories. Stories that are not serving you anymore. These are not stories of hope and success in your life, they are…

My true love gave to me the same thing he gives me each and every day. The gift of his love. And it is a very large gift and he gives it with love. I am the luckiest man on earth. I have a husband who celebrates me each day. Although we have often been…
Everyone’s got talent. If you do not have an answer to this question then you do not know yourself. That’s right folks. You were given a talent. All of us were. Now I am not suggesting that you become, say a dolphin trainer (see how cleverly I worked the photo in…grin). I am suggesting that…
Many times it occurs to me that I may have mislaid the track in my life that I presently am heading down. Sometimes it even feels like a steep track and that gravity is inevitably pulling me toward an unwanted destiny. This is wrong. I am not the conductor. I am not the engineer. Because…
