Inspiration and Expectation
We still hold on to the belief that if we do everything right, bad things should not happen to us. You can probably tell that I am about to dismantle this way of thinking with a ruthless pen (or computer), but rest assured it’s for your own good. And if you get through that part, you’ll like the ending.
Suffer Not One Exception
Adapting to the power of your Light requires – actually demands – that once you make a commitment to a path that you believe will empower you, under no circumstances do you break that commitment.
Adapting to Inner and Outer Negativity
It’s a give-and-take world we live in. But adapting to negativity within us or in our environment means deciding we can live with something negative rather than take action to initiate a positive change. Each time we adapt to something negative within us or around us, we pay a price.
The Longest Battle
The longest battle we will ever wage is with ourselves. We will never stop finding something in ourselves or about our lives that needs attention or is worth challenging. And sometimes we have no choice but to confront ourselves. Sometimes, as in the case of a serious health diagnosis, it literally is a matter of life or death.

First Setting: What Have You Been Called to Witness?
Part 2 of 4. We are all put into settings in life in which we are called to “witness” actions, injustices, social concerns, or other human needs that require a courageous response. So often the response we utter is, “Someone should do something.” But if it is you standing there in the position of the Witness, what is your role?
Life Settings that are Game Changers
Becoming a conscious person means finding and maintaining a pathway into yourself that results in an ever-growing awareness of what is important in life and what inner forces motivate your personal actions.

The Art of Falling Down the Rabbit Hole
I’m an expert on falling down the Rabbit Hole. I live in the world of the imagination and the impossible. I rely upon the imagination to fill me with ideas on a continual basis. If I lived in the ordinary world, I would disintegrate in short order, because the ordinary world is a place filled with reasons why ideas can’t succeed and with the wounds of failure and painful memories of the past that haunt us with fears, holding us prisoners to our past.
Imagining the Impossible
Alice Time – Part I
I am an “Alice-o-phile”. I adore Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass and have since the first time I read Lewis Carroll’s masterpieces. I just loved wondering how Carroll even thought of those characters … a Red and White Queen, the White Rabbit and the tea party (the real one). I loved every single page of those two books and I can’t even recall how many times I’ve read them – and still do.
