Everyone has a story. The more we identify who we are with our story or what we do, the harder it is to be happy.

Stories are just stuff that happens.
What we do is just what we do and not who we are.

The more we let go of our stories, the easier it is to love our lives and create the changes that help us realize our purpose and lead us to our destiny.

My story began with a single mother who gained a total of 10 pounds during the time she carried me in her womb. There were foster homes, a love of being among trees, washing restaurant dishes, restaurant ownership, a fire walk, a swim with wild dolphins, 15 promotions in 18 years, becoming a father, an annual income of a quarter of a million dollars followed by a year of earning less than ten thousand dollars. There were 20 years of corporate real estate, capital acquisitions, financial analysis and training followed by many years of learning and teaching in the holistic health field. It goes on.

Along the way were teachers like Ken Keyes, Yogi Bhajan, Richard Bandler NLP, John La Valle, Norma Toombs, Thick Nhat Hahn, Byron Katie, Brad Blanton, pretty much everyone I met plus a dog named Joe and a few cats. There is of course more to the story.

What we really want to know is:

who we are,
why we are here, and
what to do next.

If you would like me to be part of your story, please let me know.

Some Advice

Years ago, my son gave me some advice. He said:

1. Always believe in yourself.
2. Trust what is within, not what is without.
3. Never give up, always keep going.

H.H. Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji on how to find your purpose:
"Ask yourself:
Did I help people today?
Did I give selflessly of myself or not?
Do I feel closer to God?
Did I do anything against my own deep knowledge of what is right?
If you are on the right path, you will experience happiness."

Getting Started With Jim Matheson

Is it possible that?

Your positive intent led you here
Where you go from here is your choice.

In the past, did you choose what was most familiar, pleased others or offered the least resistance?

Did you take the easy way?

Did you find the results you got were not easy to live with?

If it is time now for a change ... Welcome.

Living in 'Chaos"?

People around us are either:

our mirror or
our opportunity to fulfil our purpose by assisting others.

Often, people and situations around us are a reflection of who we are inside. It can be helpful to look inside to see if our inner turmoil is in some way being reflected in what is going on outside us.

Life presents us with many opportunities to be the very best of ourselves and to fulfil our highest 'calling' by helping those in need, not always as we see their needs, but as they do. This means being fully present and listening. Sometimes, it means more.

Should you find yourself unsure of your next step or not clear about the meaning of what life brings you, we are here to help.
