Game of life

Gems at the Core of Bittersweet Moments

A dear friend and talented artist, Suzanne Mirviss, is just completing a tree sculpture that incorporates the experiences of nearly 100 women around a personal “bittersweet experience.” I started reflecting on how much of life falls under the rubric of “Bittersweet.” You KNOW these experiences—-something is both beautiful and heartbreaking; you had to say goodbye to one situation in order to say hello to another; someone you love has moved on in life in order to develop and evolve; you botched something, but from it, an unforeseen opportunity unexpectedly gave you new

The Next Step!

This article will focus on how to take The Next Step, even when you’re stuck, sad or mad, and make each experience a fulfilling one. Life can be viewed as an endless stream of experiences that nudge us to adapt to constant changes. The meaning which we give each of our experiences is determined by our attitude and beliefs. And our current attitude and beliefs are based on the meaning we’ve given past experiences. Therefore it´s easy to see how people recycle experiences based on their self fulfilling prophecies.

You Only Need 51% Belief To Start The Process Of Manifesting!

I've seen too many people 'beat themselves up' as they learn about the Law of Attraction and begin to apply it in their lives. And there's one question that always springs to my mind - why are they so hard on themselves? Because when their desire doesn't materialize in a few days, they think they aren't doing it right or they don't believe enough. They are under the impression that in order to receive, they must have 100% belief--no doubt at all. And so they try to convince themselves, and the Universe, that they DO have 100% belief--when, in their heart, they don't.

A Slice of Humble Pie

Can a healthy serving of humility free us from ourselves? After a decade of working in human rights and traveling the world, one thing that always strikes me upon re-entry to the United States is just how solidified our identities are. Our role in society, who we hang out with, how we express ourselves, defines how we see ourselves. We surround ourselves with the community that reflects our self-image, and for many of us, we define ourselves by our jobs. Changing that person

Why can’t I? – The root of ALL your problems

I still remember, as if it were today, that beautiful summer evening when Robin came into my studio for a private coaching session, radiating an unusual level of excitement. Her energy was vibrating so high that it could power a nuclear plant. I could feel that from a mile away. When asked the reason for all that excitement, she replied: “We can’t hide anything from you, right? Well, I put the Mental Alchemy Formula to use and I got it!” That statement was not surprising to me, I’ve heard that many times before.

Self Improvement – The Clear Path To Success

As the Self Improvement saying goes, "the wiser I become, the more I know how much more there is to know." The tools I share worked for me. They are not the only way, but a way: a way that has guided me towards a level of internal peace and an unconditional love of self. This kind of love transcends judgement and blame. It doesn't mean goody-goody, nicey-nicey. It does mean balanced sharing, acceptance of self and reality in all moments, service in a non-judgemental state, compassionate loving allowance.

Healing Our Emotional Wounds

Each and every one of us has emotional wounds, but until we admit it, we will remain in an emotional quagmire that keeps dragging us down. Until we express how we really feel, our healing process will be delayed and we will continue to be drawn to unhealthy situations or unhealthy relationships. Even an unhealthy relationship can be changed into a healthy one if the individuals involved are intent on healing themselves. We block our own healing when we seek to point fingers and blame others for the things they do in our lives.
