"I See You": Avatar Recognizes Our Connectedness

I SEE YOU . . . When I heard those words, my heart melted, truly melted. How interesting that this experience was evoked by characters who aren’t real, they’re animated, (well, partially). Three simple words, I SEE YOU, is showing humanity what we seem to have forgotten, the most important element of being human – connecting heart to heart. It‘s unfortunate and yet true, people today rarely speak to each other from that place of heartfelt recognition.

Questions About Angels

I have been communicating with the angels since 1997.

Falling in Love With You

The process of learning to love unconditionally is often a long and difficult journey. I suppose that’s why I like to teach and talk about it, as its what I need to learn the most. Along the way, we inevitable arrive at the conclusion, as the old cliche goes, that we cannot love others unless we first love ourselves. The question for me has always been how do we do just that? How do we begin to love ourselves?

People have the tendency to assume great success is something only other people experience. However the world's most amazing success stories are about everyday human beings who believed in themselves and took consistent action.

The majority of individuals tend to assume that amazing stories of personal success are reserved for other people. This is pretty bizarre and unreasonable when you think about it.

Why Add Meaning To Life?

The title of the blog is "Adding Meaning To Daily Life For Enhancement." And a picture. (Not very fond of it, but a picture nonetheless). The logical question of the post reader is, "Why do you want to get more out of life?". What is wrong with it the way it is? Maybe nothing. But as someone who has reached middle age, knowing how fast life goes by leaves one to think about where one is heading, and are there other things you still want to do? Looking at things differently can help you realize what you want out of life and help motivate you to try to get it.

Love Is Gentle

I was listening to a song the other day, and some of the words were "Love is gentle, and love is kind." The truth of that really touched me. We think of love as being a feeling—an emotion—but true love is more of a doing. Love touches, love gives, love is gentle, and it is kind. That's how we know it. We know love by its fruits. Love acts: It listens, it caresses, it nourishes, it nurtures. It does whatever is needed of it. Love naturally responds to life as it presents itself.

10 Tips to put Law of Attraction in Business

One aspect of business writing I have noticed is the enjoyment some people have for dismissing the Law of Attraction in business. I have read a few business blogs that mention that the Law of Attraction does not work in business because you need to do more than sit on your couch wishing for your business to be successful. When I was researching coaching a few years ago I got a book called, “Getting Started in Personal and Executive Coaching,” I remember a passage about coaches mistakenly relying on the Law of Attraction.
