Breathe and remember, it is up to you to find your song to sing. "It's not your job to make everyone happy. It's their job to be happy. It's your job to make you happy." It's the same story the stewardess told me when I flew with our toddler the first time. She looked me in the eye and said point blank, "You need to put your mask on first and then his.

Most times you can find someone else who dealt successfully with exactly your challenge and learn a lot from them. Other times you must chart a course on your own. Scary but fun stuff! Everything you want to do in life has directions, whether it's changing the oil in your car,…

The greatest gifts I've received from life have come unexpectedly, sometimes during a time of challenge, other times when I'm engrossed in helping another, and often when I'm simply open and grateful for the great banquet life constantly presents. I've learned to let go of expectations of how things will or should turn out. They don't anyway.

A long term practitioner of Zen, I am profoundly grateful for this practice, which helps…

You are all full of it! Energy, that is... we all have access to an unlimited supply of Love and Light to wake-up, shake-up, and inspire everyone, including yourself!

Let's create an abundant flow of energy that improves our life and creates a positive impact…
