Being in a sailboat in the middle of a stormy sea isnât my favorite thing to do. Last week I was sailing in the British Virgin Islands during a very windy day at sea. We had to cover nearly 15 miles, with the seas averaging 8-11? swells, complete with huge crashing-rocking-and-rolling waves and high winds.nnWe had our friends Arielle and Brian with us on the boat and although they were great troopers, there came a point when it wasnât as fun as the first 15 minutes in rou

When Manu spent his first night in his own bed in our foster care after sharing a hot meal with his roommates, I felt I had reached home after a journey that had taken almost a decade. Had I not fulfilled the silent promise I had made to myself the day I had set eyes on him as he rummaged garbage heaps for food and let out heart wrenching cries: to see him one day sleep in a clean and warm bed.

Service is an opportunity that everybody has to contribute to the world. It's like breathing in and breathing out. Although we need to breathe in, it's equally important to breathe out. It's important to receive and it's important to give, and to give of ourselves in the way that actually serves who or what is being served. Well, how do we do that? I've found often that there are people that conclude they don't know what to do. They think, "Well, I'd like to serve. I'd like t
The journey of water as it flows upon the earth can be a mirror of our own paths through life. Water begins its residence on earth as it falls from the sky or melts from ice and streams down a mountain into a tributary or stream. In the same way, we come into the world and begin our lives on earth. Like a river that flows within the confines of its banks, we are born with certain defining characteristics that govern our identity. We are born in a specific time and place, with

Intent is defined in the dictionary as: firmly or steadfastly fixed or directed. As I began to think about what my first blog was going to be, I decided to ask my twelve year old son what the intent was for his life. He said, "I want to fall in love when I get older, get married and have a job that I love so much that I don't even feel like I'm at work." His intent for today is, "To sell as many golf balls and chocolate chip cookies as possible at the golf course." What a tho
Do you believe in magic? If you could dream a magical world into being, what would it look like?nn I raised Brenna and Carter within their imaginations and by stretching their sight to see things not readily seen by the physical eye. When they were young we would take our favorite cookie, which at the time was Scotcharoos, and sit on a carpet in the middle of the floor and close our eyes. This wasnât just any carpet, it was a magical carpet. This carpet would take us high o
Whatâs your dream? Are you living it? Take just a moment, close your eyes and bring that dream into your mindâs eye. See it. Feel it. Really look at the details. Notice how the completion of this dream makes you feel so full of joy and elation from your success. Feels pretty good, doesnât it? And the best part about it is that compared to what you go through for âworkâ everyday, following your dream is easy. When you do what you love and love what you do, youâll n
The number one question Iâve been asked recently is âHOW? How do I focus on the positive when I canât make payroll? How do I enjoy my day when Iâm so miserable? How do I get rid of the fear that I feel inside?ânnHOW seems to be a big, scary word. In gathering my thoughts for this blog post I was wondering, âHow do I helpâ? I was also stuck in the HOW of not knowing, yet wanting to be of service.nnAnd then something funny happened. I was talking with our web guys
Today June 25, 2009 is truly a sad day. Today is the day that the world lost a legend as Michael Jackson passed away from a cardiac arrest. People may know him as a lot of things, some good and some bad: a singer, a songwriter, a dancer, an actor, a businessman, a father, a humanitarian, an ailing man, a troubled man, a child abuser. Whatever it is that you thought of MJ, there is no denying the influence he has had on music and millions of people all over the world. Just lik
A few days ago I had a new contact on Twitter send me a message asking how he could increase his number of friends. I found it interesting that his message was sent to me in all capital letters like he was shouting at me. It read, â I NEED HELP HOW CAN I GET MORE FOLLOWERSâ.nnI took the time and politely wrote several 140 character private messages back to him and recommended that he follow the folks listed as Twitterati on AllTop.com, that he comment on the blogs of the
âYou must have the courage of your talent.â With that statement, Alan Weiss opened his three-day Thought Leadership symposium in Palm Beach last fall. It was meant to provoke us and stimulate some serious soul-searching. It did both. Talents are innate abilities, gifts that people are born with, such as athletic prowess, an aptitude for singing or playing a musical instrument, the capacity for communicating deeply, a flair for the dramatic, the power to bring out the best
We can create a world at peace, one person at a time. Each person at peace brings more peace to the world. Every personal encounter is a chance to bring peace to the world. If peace is to be, it must begin with me. In every personal encounter, we can bring some peace to the world. In every personal encounter, I will give only peace to the world.

I live in a beautiful little house in the foothills of Boulder, CO. Our home is ideally situated between several mountains, perched on a ridge and can be seen from the surrounding areas in all directions. Our neighborhood is filled with windy, twisty roads, some with the same name and folks often get lost up and down the sides of the mountains.nnThis morning Koda, our Samoyed pup, and I decided to take a walk.

I had a teacher at Cornell, Professor Frederick Marcham, who died in the middle of his 70th year â of teaching. He was 94 years old at the time he died and my mother had been his student too. Prof. Marcham was a cross between Socrates and Merlin because he helped us discover our own answers by showing us the magic in everyday things, like the way sunlight dances through tree leaves when caught by a spring breeze. I used to visit him after I graduated and heâd tell me abou
"Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life." ~ Leo Buscaglia rnA little good news to start off with ~ last Friday my partner and I eloped!

By Alex Blackwell .rn rnThe Blackwell family recently passed their own Economic Stimulus Package. The slow economy and resulting recession is playing havoc with our family budget. The rising cost of groceries (I paid over $4 for a box of breakfast cereal last night) is putting a substantial dent in our checkbook.

The advice to show up and write every single day is everywhere. I’ve read it a dozen times. In fact, I’ve mentioned it in at least 5 of my own articles. But let’s face it — We don’t always interesting things to write about . Do we? In such a scenario, the whole ritual of writing every day might leave you churning out the same set of advice in ten different ways. This might help you satisfy your goal of being regular with your writing. But might l
The other day, I had lunch with a friend at a restaurant near the state Capitol building in Olympia, Washington and, afterwards, decided to visit the nearby library. I was searching through the library’s computer catalog when I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Can you help me find the children’s books?” I turned to see that the speaker was an adorable girl of about 7 who, standing beside me, was the same height as I was sitting down. She clutched a book tightly to her chest as tho
Weâre spending this week with a friend, sailing the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest. Weâve never been here before and the scenery is stunningly beautiful.

Yesterday my husband and I went for a bicycle ride through the outskirts of downtown Boulder. It was one of those picture-perfect crisp autumn days filled with clear cool mountain air, bright sunshine and Nature at her finest. The paved bike path meanders through city and wooded park areas, back and forth over Boulder Creek and up and down small hills at the base of the Rocky Mountains. nnThe last flaming colors of autumn had fallen and were covered with touches of snow still

How do I tell you "l love you"? How do I show you I care? How do I say all you mean to me? How can mere words say it all? How can I show you my feelings? What can I do that will tell?

The paradox of selflessness never ceases to amaze me, yet somehow I continually forget that the receiving is in the giving. I was reminded yet again on Memorial Day when I joined Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) as they kicked-off their third year of anonymous, kind-hearted shenanigans. The über-grassroots crew set up their barebones operation in Central Parkâs Strawberry Fields: a folding table, lots of free cookies and a flimsy board smattered with Post-it notes. The sticki

A little while ago I had an "AHA" moment. Actually it was more of a "shower-of-bricks-on-the-head" moment. I realized that my life had become a flurry of tasks over which I gave little thought. I was back on the hamster wheel, spinning constantly and getting nowhere.nnLate last year, during a stretch of unexpected unemployment, I started to live in an intentional way for the first time in my life. Without the demands of work pulling at me, I had the ability to decide what I w
For the last few weeks, I have been on a radio tour for the release of the paperback edition of Why Good People Do Bad Things . In my interviews, I keep hearing the same questions. Why did you write this as your sixth book? Why is this important to understand? Why do we do bad things? Why do we continue to self-sabotage, making choices that leave us feeling bad about ourselves? It seems like everyone is fascinated but few truly want to chat about the answer -- the solution an
Be KindrnI often hear people talk about the importance of how we should be kind to others. Indeed, this is the expected norm for how people should relate to other people. It has been taught and preached so many times that the act of kindness has always been focused on giving to others. This is why I was quite moved when I recently heard someone actually say, âBe kind to yourselfâ. For me, it was an amazing revelation to think about kindness towards self. When someone is b
When I finished writing this story two meaningful events occurred. One day while discussing this with a friend she told me she had the same thing happen to her. She watched her dog be run over by the school bus which was bringing her home from school.

Is it possible to truly hate an appliance? If so, I HATE the vacuum I have been saddled with at our little creaky cabin in Maine. I bought it in a hurry. The old vacuum died, and the place was rapidly getting pretty filthy. There arenât a lot of places to find vacuums near our cabin, so I bought the first vacuum I found. What a mistake. I could write a whole blog post about the failings of this cheap, heavy hunk of ineffective plastic. Worse, I have put up with it for over

We as a whole focus on success throughout everyday life, except getting it is a climb – not a race. Inspiration is the fuel that will keep you hiking towards the highest point of the mountain. Be that as it may, motivation can be an unapproachable visceral. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to get, it is even harder to keep it for long: as motivation gets lost easily.
