J = Joy. Our natural state of being is joy. But you’re often your own thief of your own joyful experience. You rob from yourself that which is innately yours. Thankfully, joy is a never-ending commodity and it can’t be diminished entirely. But you do compromise it when you continue to re-write history and tellRead more

E = Essence. Essence is who you are. That’s what we want to see. That’s what wants to be shared. It’s what makes you unique. It’s your life currency. And when you share it, it changes relationships, it inspires, it heals. It’s waiting for an opportunity to be expressed. Stop bottling it up. Let itRead more
OMG. When the idea came to me last year to write a weekly blog covering 52 weeks and 52 ways to change your life I had no idea the year would go by so fast. And I also had no idea what those 52 things were – except they were all predicated upon the truthRead more
Joseph Campbell said, “We are so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget that the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it’s all about.” For many of us, we’ve never been taught to identify with an inner journey; how to self explore.

Sometimes you’re going to want to quit. It’s normal. People feel that way in all walks of life and in all pursuits; from artists to athletes; from mothers to media moguls. If you didn’t feel that way, I’d think you were maybe not normal. But often, in an artistic career path, we choose to quitRead more
Start with yourself. If you start anywhere else, it’s a false start and you’ll just be forced to go back to the starting line and begin again. And again. (Sort of like Usain Bolt false-starting & being DQ’d at the World Track & Field Championships yesterday.) Starting with yourself means finding the place within youRead more
In our evolutionary process, there are 3 types of learning. 1). Those “light bulb” moments you get when you’re hearing something truly remarkable for the first time. It’s “beginner” learning. The sad thing is, as we get older, we think we “know it all”, becoming bitter and jaded (ouch!) which makes it feel as ifRead more
Life is designed to bring up your stuff. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. We can avoid it. We can deny it. We can ignore it. But eventually, we see that to get to where we want to go, we have to work through the stuff we’d rather step around. There’s never around. There’sRead more
We all have great ideas. Inspired light bulb moments. Thoughts fueled by creativity and intuition. Brilliant flashes of genius that reside within us but are connected to something much larger than ourselves. And then we THINK about them. (Don’t do that!) Over and over. And again and again. The more we think about the originalRead more
What is the manifesto of your life? What are you saying with your life? If you had to leave tomorrow; what are you leaving behind?
