My journey up the mountain

Several years ago, I was invited to book a massage appointment with someone described to me as a yoga teacher from Tibet. I made the appointment and didn’t know much other than this was a Tibetan monk and that the experience would be just that – an experience. It was. A man of small physical

A beautiful airport experience–really?

Yes. Flights get me where it is that I need to be–sometimes at a moment’s notice given who my clients are and the various types of work that I do. And yes, there have been times in my life when I felt a certain sort of dread in anticipation of flying–but I had a very

Life tells us what to do in every moment

Do you believe this? I used to think this was sort of a ridiculous idea–but not for very long. And I mostly thought that during times when I was troubled, like during my adolescence and some of the time during my 20s. That was tough times. I was rebellious and not allowing the wisdom that

A week that is sacred

Regardless of your religious affiliation, this is a week that is designated on most calendars as Holy. For Christians and those who are Jewish, it is a period of reflection and prayer alongside some fasting. My pitch is not about religion here but about the Faith Factor and opportunity.

There is a strong desire to escape from it–at almost any cost. This line of thinking and the approach generally lead to

Winter of Happiness & Well-Being #6

Tell me you’re not secretly thrilled that I didn’t let you think that winter was over in February. Most of the country is under another winter advisory, the Midwest is poised for an additional storm bringing snow, snow, snow.  Get ready to use your hand gestures but make sure it is this one and not

The internal dialogue conflict resolution

The voice in your head is not singular, there are several and it is not a sign that you have a multiple personality disorder. It is an indication of your intellectual abilities to carry on a conversation. The idea of internal operations is interesting and the theme behind your words is indicative of what you
