Putting the LIGHT back into Enlightenment: An Action Plan

Free yourself from judgment. Each judgment you have is a complaint with the Divine Mystery. Let go of your attachment to being right. This doesn't mean you can't be right, only that you can't keep score. Let go of your attachment to being wrong. Scrutinizing your actions to identify your "mistakes" is a justification for self-judgment. The opposite of being wrong and the opposite of being right is the same-just being. Stop trying to fix yourself. You are not broken, you don't need repairing, and you don't need to try harder. All you need to do is accept yourself as you are. Get over thinking…

The Real Definition of the Word Inspire

In today's world of transformation and the emerging consciousness of positive human potential, the word inspire is very often uttered into the air. "I'm inspired." "You inspire me." "That was inspiring." We are often inspired by those teachers and role models that speak most directly to our hearts, but what does the word inspire really mean? It comes from the Latin 'in' which means 'inside' or 'to infuse with' and 'spirare' which means 'breath'. In essence to inspire is to infuse with breath! An alternate meaning is to breathe life into! When I found this out I wanted to share…

Do You Deserve to Be Happy?

I often ask my patients struggling with a life issue, "Do you deserve to be happy?" More often than not, I receive a tenuous answer. "I'd like to say I do, but I'm not so sure" is a fairly typical response. Or I may hear, "I can't remember anyone in my life ever telling me it's my right to be happy." Well, if you haven't heard it before, hear it now: YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY! Although relatively few of us were told during our upbringing that the expansion of happiness is the purpose of life, most people sense somewhere…

A Bloody Brilliant Life

If I had to condense the wisdom of my life into a page to leave as my legacy, here's the most valuable information that I've learned in my life. I hope it inspires you to fully live your dreams. The key to A Brilliant Life, as I see it, is to always, always, always listen to yourself first. We all have our own unique guidance system within us that comes from the spirit side of us. It is there to keep us on track to our own unique destiny. Often the road along the way doesn't resemble where we want…

The Fine Line of Truth

There is a biblical passage that says..."Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads unto life and few there be who find it." It causes a person (or it should) to seriously think about its deep and rich meaning, and the wonderful effect that it can have for you. Truth is truth regardless of facts and it's important to know, that the facts are always changing. We have been taught to live our lives based on facts without realizing that facts are only facts until we become aware of another fact that supersedes the previous. Because we are…

Are You Living the GratiDude Way?

Living the GratiDude Way means remembering the power of "thank you." In a world of duality, we are given only two choices really... we can either be grateful, or we can be ungrateful. Everything in life is a matter of perception. We are the ones who give each moment the power to be "good" or "bad," we make the conscious choice of labeling it one or the other at the time of its conception. When we focus on what's going wrong and what's missing from our lives, we miss all the incredible things that we have to be grateful for…

Today’s Brilliance from Gail Lynne Goodwin

I'd like to share a few things I've learned... Gratitude! Begin and end your day with gratitude. What you focus on grows, so focus on good things. Develop an attitude of gratitude. Realize that what's happening around you isn't who you are. Illusions can appear real but we get to choose whether or not to buy into them. You can be the chess master or the pawn- your choice. Dream big and make life fun! Do something outrageous each day. Follow your passion. Believe in yourself. Change your attitude to "I'll see it when I believe it", not the other…

- Silence brings peacefulness through which I hear my wisest voice. It helps me remember I am more than my analytical left brain and the doing nature of my conscious mind. I remember that I don’t have to DO anything at all to experience Peace, Love, Joy and Freedom. I can simply be still and know that I am already those things.

Your Mission: Love Fully!

We live in the most technologically advanced times in our history, we can send people to the moon, invent iPhones, yet our world seems to be in a state of chaos. These are indeed intense times: war, terrorism, uncertainty, as well as technological advancements, and material wealth. Yet we are also plagued with great "soul poverty" and a famine of inner fulfillment. Often losing sight of what is real, and truly important. My message is simple: LOVE NOW! Growing up on 4 different continents, and seeing the reality that people from diverse walks of life live daily has deeply touched…

Struggling with Stress? It’s Time to Remember Who You Are

During stage three breast cancer treatment I was graced with two out of body experiences. I walked away with two reflections: one, how well did I love God, myself and those people around me? Two, how did I connect on a daily basis with my God-given talents and abilities and use them to inspire and bless those people around me? Align yourself with what you value most in this life. Did you forget what you value most in this life? Tune into what moves you to linger in a moment. Don't miss the opportunity for expansion and growth in the…

The Wisdom of 7 Decades

I'd share the deepest things I have learned in these seven decades. I would tell you that saying "I made a mistake" feels really awful, yet calling it a "learning experience" feels uplifting and growth-producing. I would suggest that "doing work" feels like drudgery, but "having a project" fires up enthusiasm. I would remind you to take control of your thinking, because if you "think" right, you will "do" right, and if you "do" right, you will "feel" right. And "feeling" right, or good about yourself, feels a lot better than feeling bad about yourself. Remember, you always have a…

4 Steps to Outrageous Business Success

Don't be afraid to try. There are schools across the country teaching that "this" is the way business gets done and we read books and web blogs with all kinds of messages saying "this" is how business is done. You are going to find conflicting ideas, thoughts, and theories and hear what has worked for others, but you won't know what is going to work for you until you try it. If it were as easy as what the books say or what we are taught, then everybody would be doing the same thing and nobody would stand out. You…
