things over which we have choice
I love aliteration. I am not sure whether it is a cosmic influence from the number three (the universe is energy, matter or ether) or just the balance of having an odd number or the mathematical equality of a triangle but I am definitely attracted and inspired by it and today I thought of the…
When you engage in conversation with your friends, or even with those new to you – and ‘life happens’ is the topic, do you notice a theme running through it? I do. The theme is most often: “How do I get there from here?” Sound familiar? Perhaps it is running loose in your mind too?…
All human cultures seem to practice music. My favorite practice is the water music from the women of Vanuatu as it reminds me that music is primordial and it changed my outlook on Water Music (which I previously associated more to Handel). The women perform in the water and slap it with their hands while the…
Alan Cohen wrote: “Your future isn’t what it used to be.” How true!! Every moment, indeed with every breath – every thought, we are creating a new future.

Just as we use a compass to help us navigate our course through our physical world, we can use the 4 directions for navigation through our…
What direction is your life headed? Are you at the helm or are the winds of change blowing you all over the place? Today my husband suggested that I write about destiny and setting our course for success. The most important aspect of our destiny is our belief system about it. Do you believe it…
I have never heard of a human tradition that did not include story telling. It is one of the things which sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. We pass along knowledge from one generation to the next often through art or traditions like religion. There are the stories of good and…
