We often have a long list of things we want to have in our lives before we think we’ll be ready for the main thing we want. As an example, many people say that they don’t want to be married until they earn “x” dollars. Others say that they want to own a home before having children.

Prioritizing tasks and projects (and whatever else is on our plate) can be challenging for anyone. For multi-talented people, it's even more difficult because modern day DaVincis have that many more things on our 'to do' lists. How to decide what to do?

"Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.” - Don Miguel Ruiz Wouldn’t it be wonderful have a fool proof strategy for getting unstuck and moving forward again whenever you find yourself in the grip of fear?

The entire system shuts down. What is your idea of self care?

“The man, who is born with a talent which he is meant to use, finds his greatest happiness in using it.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe I’m sure you’d agree that most people spend a lot of their time doing things they’re not passionate about.

How to Let Bygones Be Bygones In working with others, I coach clients and sponsees to find tools and answers to issues that prevent them from having the abundant life they want.

Deep down you know that there is simply nothing you can do to change the past.

They said God did not create them to live a caged life, confinement to cubicles. Many employees, company executives, and leaders of reputable organizations are consumed by restlessness, fatigue and confusion caused by not knowing the right business to invest in.

Mommy really doesn't know much right now, but I promise you I will. The only thing I do know is mommy loves you more than words, more than actions. Mommy loves you as though you are her heart, spirit, and soul wrapped in one... without a beginning or an end. There is no depth or breath to my love, because how can there be when it's everywhere?!

Whenever I give a lecture or teach a class – no matter if it’s a class in soul contracts, intuition, animal communication – two of the most common questions I receive are “How do I know what my Soul Contracts are?” and “How can I master my Soul Contracts?” I love these questions as Soul Contracts are my absolute favorite thing to talk about, look at, examine… In my world, they yield as much information as a Numerology or Astrological reading except that they also provide information on how to shift things more positively (numerology and astrology don’t do that yet!)

Disappointment is a killing feeling we know too well. It is a feeling of sinking in the heart, body, mind and soul.

Clutter costs you. Disorganization takes a hefty toll. Look around you. Are you in a place that feels serene and calm? Is the room relatively clean and tidy? How organized are you?

If so, please move along, there’s nothing to see here. (And we welcome you to submit blog posts about what keeps you organized).

Today I was coaching someone who wants to make a career change.

The third step on the path to becoming all that you are in this life, is realizing we are all one! I don’t just mean this in the way you might think. Realizing something is the act of making it real or manifesting it in your life. So, not only is this about understanding that we are all one, but this is also about manifesting the concept that we are all one into your physical reality. It is important to understand the evolution of this process and so I will review a bit of what I have said previously. The first step was letting go of ego.

Here are five strategies to help you overcome failure. As always, these are in no particular order. So with that said, let’s go: 1. Stop avoiding failurer The more you avoid failure, the greater are the chances that you will become involved with it. The reason is that the more you try not to fail, the more reserved you will become in your approach; and the more reserved you become, the more your approach will be from a negative perspective. I am always talking to people about “Running towards what you do want, rather than walking away from what you don’t”.
