I am someone who has been writing for a long time. In fact, much of the inspiration I use for this blog is from my past. So, tonight I’d like to share an entry that was part of a book I never published. It’s April 8th 2008 today. I have had a major surgery since…

Creating Your Own Belief Systems
It’s funny to look back on our lives and see how habitual we really are. When I looked back today, I was reminded of the activities I did then – that I still do now. I came across a journal entry about having positive affirmations that relate to each day of the week. When I…
Practice Saying No
This title was inspired after telling a car salesman no when I really wanted to say yes. Another example came after saying no to a physician’s plan of treatment, because I knew I needed to take more time and do more research. Yet, in both of these situations I very much wanted to say yes.…
Accept Looking Like a Fool
Accept that you may contradict yourself, accept that you may make a mistake, accept that you may offend someone, and especially, accept that you may be wrong. Isn’t it better to express who you are now than wait until some imagined state of perfection? Isn’t it better to embrace the way you feel about something…
Second Thoughts on God’s Voice
In my last post I spoke about ways to hear God’s voice. Well today, I went walking deep in the forest and it dawned on me, why talk about a “voice” when feelings are so much more accurate? I mean, my example this morning came clear as day. I was sitting in meditation and I…

But what most people fear, is that by surrendering to “God’s will” they won’t get exactly what they want – when actually it’s the exact opposite. They end up getting…
Energy Risers
It is so vitally important that you recognize and honor your energy. All too often we say, “I’m too tired,” and we give a laundry list of reasons why our energy stores have been depleted. Why do we do that? Why do we let ourselves get to that point? Don’t we know how to manage…
Three Things
I once lived with a lovely lady along the coast of California in a small town called Carpenteria. She was a progressive, social Aquarius who stayed out later than me (at 86…). I was 28 and always impressed with her energy, style, and “perpetually optimistic” attitude towards life. To say that she lived her life…
Lighthouse
If you could connect with some object in nature that links you to your deepest truth, what would it be? For me, it would be a lighthouse. I have always experienced a rush of emotion whenever I come into contact with one; although I grew up in the Midwest and never actually saw one. I…
The Interesting Thing About Getting What You Want
Have you ever received exactly what you thought you wanted and then had doubts that it was really what you needed? Wants can be a double-edged sword. So maybe we should just ask for what we need – not what we think we want – and trust that we will find deeper satisfaction from our…
