It doesn’t take much for me to feel inspired. It can be ignited just sitting on the back porch and feeling the warm sunshine on my face, or the cool breeze rustling my hair, or sipping a warm cup of tea or a cool glass of lemonade. It can be from looking at beautiful flowers, listening to water flowing, watching the rain or snow fall, looking at photography or art work, listening to music, or connecting with nature in any way, etc. Inspiration is everywhere if you open mind and heart to the beauty that surrounds you.

Every month or two, the employees at Facebook run what are known as Hackathons. For 24 hours straight, all the participants try to work on a new project that could improve Facebook. The "Like" button and the ability to upload videos on Facebook were just two applications that were invented out of such a Hackathon event. Mark Zuckerberg believes that most good applications are the simplest ones, and therefore one should be able to create a great program within a short period of time. This is why the Hackathon only takes places for 24 hours.

Lots of people have tried to apply the Law of Attraction in their lives with little to show for it. They become disenchanted and think that it’s all a lot of nonsense. Too bad, because they are missing out on one of the most potent forces in the Universe! However, one cannot just visualize what ...

William Feather, an author and publisher said, “Plenty of people miss their share of happiness. Not because they never found it – but because they didn’t stop and enjoy it”. For a lot of people, life is filled with schedules, appointments, endless to-do lists, and rushing here and there. This is often referred to as the “rat race”. Then you add a little emotional topsy turvy thinking into the mix and your level of enjoyment and contentment seems to diminish and is quickly replaced with stress and unhappiness.

Some groups hold in place what already is, perhaps set up for accomplishing a goal that is already defined, or for supporting something from a set position. When a new participant comes into a group, they generally assume that what the group is about is what they walk into, what is currently happening. Or they try to figure out what the group is about, in order to see if they fit into it or not. And then they either try to conform to that; or, if it feels incongruous enough, they leave.

Social networks existed before Twitter or Facebook. Social networks existed before the Internet or the telephone. Your online followers only make up a part of your total social network. What you have to consider is how many people you actually have a relationship with, both online and offline. This is known as your social relationship ratio. To see what your social relationships ratio might be, run one of these three experiments on yourself: EXPERIMENT #1: The Memory Test

Inside an ancient bear cave, around "the dawn of man"... or, um, actually, around dinner time... LARRY: "Hey, Bob. Your caving paintings are looking awesome." BOB: "Thanks, Larry." LARRY: "So, what smells so good in here?" BOB: "Nothing. Just getting ready for dinner. Wanna join me?" LARRY: "Sure, I'm starving." BOB: "Great! Grab a rock and have a seat." LARRY: "So dude, um, where's the food?"

For many years Huna was a secret. That's what the word 'Huna' means and it's become the name we use to describe an amazing and ancient system of knowledge. Of course, before it was a secret it was well-known for a very long time, having its origins over 35, 000 years ago. For anything to last that long, it has to work. And Huna does.

Something I find fascinating is that everybody – every last one of us – wants the best that life has to offer. Yet only a very small percentage of us will ever achieve anything better than mediocrity. Everybody wants a greater sense of financial security. Everybody wants to provide their loved ...

When times are tough, whether you are going through a crisis or illness, or perhaps feeling financial pressure, or worrying about the future or your relationship, or the natural and/or man made disasters in the world, it can be difficult to remember that there are still moments that can be valued. These precious minutes, as many or as few as they may be some days, are the glue holding you together when you feel like you, or things, are becoming unglued.

Someone asked me the other day to explain the “new consciousness”. I think the term was coined by one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Eckhart Tolle, to describe the shift in values he perceives to be happening amongst growing numbers of people on the planet right now. As I understand it the ...

Greece is in a pickle, up the creek without a paddle. 'Grexit' is the fashionable new economic word for Greece's potential exit from the Euro currency and potentially the E.U. Greece has two options at the moment, both will leave them struggling with money, and one is more uncertain than the other but it gives more economic freedom. How the changes will affect people's day to day activity may not have as much drama as the Economists are making it sound like there will be. The

If you are reading this blog, you have probably at one point either heard of, or read the Seth Godin's book, "Linchpin". If you haven't read it yet, here's the highlight: be indispensable. I would take it another step, and say that you need to be indispensable to the right people.

Just this morning, I witnessed a large truck speeding down my street, honking at a double-parked car (do cars move themselves??). Over the weekend I heard so much gossip it made my head spin. And tomorrow I’m likely to hear one of my clients badmouthing a co-worker.

Wikipedia defines Labour Day as, "An annual holiday to recognize workers. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest." If you were to ask most people, including yourself, I think you would find whether working at home and/or the office that you can easily put in an eight hour day and often, longer.

My aunt ended her five-year battle with cancer recently. While I was teaching hypnotherapy in south Florida, I visited her at home and knew it would be my last time with her. I am thankful I had the opportunity to sit with her and share my love and respect for her.

If you want to be successful, look around at successful people. How do they achieve their success? There are typically five factors that lead them to their success. First, they dreamed a dream. One of the requirements of being successful is having the desire-–something that drives you to move beyond where you are now. It is all the better if the dream is about doing something you totally love. The excitement, the passion, and compelling nature of that dream serves to motivate you during the hard work to get there.

This past January, my mate al grandmother, Jessie Hunter, passed away after ninety-five exceptional years. I would like to dedicate this article to her, and share with you the model of her success. Born Jessie M. Culp in Detroit, 1911, she was president of her high school graduating class, not for a small feat for a woman at that time. Her dynamic and gutsy personality sparked the interest of the eligible Fred Hunter, who left his family funeral business to be her husband.

This concept of associating pleasure to your goals is one that I learned from many different sources - NLP, Anthony Robbins and other personal teachers and personal development seminars. Here is what happens; your subconscious will always nudge you to move you in the direction of what is ...

Most of my life I was a worrier. I worried about everything. I was anxious about my appearance, work, doing well, the future, making mistakes and how they would affect my life, being a mom and then a single mom, what others might think or say about me, flying, etc. Whew, that was a lot of worrying. I feel exhausted just thinking about it. Being anxious about anything and everything was not helping me, in fact, it was hurting me. My focus was on what I didn’t want. Guess what happened when I continued with this type of thinking?

Bill Maher may be a gifted comedian, talk show host and the creator of the recent movie “Religulous” yet most would agree that he is about as far from being a fundamentalist you can get. Or Is he? Maher and I agree that it is ridiculous to steadfastly hold on to the belief that the universe was created in six literal twenty four hour days as told in Genesis’s story of creation. And, as religious fundamentalist believe, evolution is just a man made theory with no validity.

If you want change you must “make permanent changes in your life”, no really, a lot of people say that they want change but not many who do start to change last long without reverting back to there old insecure ways. If you can put the effort in to making creating a new Vision of your new Reality the most important part of your day I promise that your new Reality will start to manifest if you allow for time to pass for things to start happening. Ah ha, but the catch is th

Once you’re consciously aware of how you create your internal (mental/emotional) states and your resulting experience of life, you’ll be prepared and poised to be in charge of your life. You don’t have to go through your life on autopilot, sometimes feeling good and get the outcomes you want, and other times feeling bad and not getting your desired outcomes. So please be intentional and committed to these learnings, and to observing your mental patterns to see how you are using the characteristic of your Internal Map of Reality.

The changing of the seasons always provides an opportunity for personal development. Spring is a time to reflect upon one's self and life, clear out old ideas and beliefs, and cut away things from the past to allow for new growth. From the depth of his trance, Edgar Cayce, the great American psychic, proclaimed, "Plant good seeds in fertile soil." The fertile soil in this metaphor is a healthy state of mind and body, as well as right action. In other readings, Cayce often referred to thought as the seed of intention.

After thirteen years of what I had considered to be a good marriage, I came home one day to be told, "I want a divorce." Monotone voice, flat expression. Where did that come from? One wife, two children, a thriving business, property, and possessions, I could see problems here. At ...

I get tired of New Age gurus preaching that I shouldn’t be angry. The fact is, sometimes I am angry. I am angry when people I trust betray me. I am angry when people make promises they don’t keep. I am angry when people treat me with disrespect. Anger was not considered a “nice” emotion in my birth family. My mother rarely expressed it. Neither did my father. There were exceptions.

Reinventing yourself, in the best sense, is a process of becoming more of who you really are. There may be times when you experience life-changes that force you to reinvent yourself, but you don't have to wait for a transition. You can reinvent yourself anytime you choose. It doesn't have to be a total reinvention; you can reinvent just a part of yourself. The goal is to become more and more aware of, and in alignment with, your true self.

All you need is a little imagination, a touch of inspiration, a dash of hope, a stir of action, and you have ignited the recipe for ingenuity in you! Take a look at all the brilliance in the world. Each and every thing started with an idea, a brainstorm, a dream, and voila, the wonders of the world were created. Planes, trains, boats, and automobiles were designed by an initial thought. Pyramids, churches, towers, buildings, skyscrapers, bridges and amusement parks, etc., were built from someone’s ideas.

Standing under the shaded cathedral of tall oak trees, I looked out upon a body of water alive with shimmering golden light. My soul was enchanted. In my mind's eye I could envisio Native Americans living in this sacred place. I felt as though the earth, trees and water were pulling me into ...

Home based business ideas is one of the most widely searched, long tail keywords on Google today. The reason for this should be obvious. People by the thousands are entering the work at home market in response to a sluggish economy and a stagnant job market. But here's the thing about the people who will get involved with home based business opportunities; most of them are going to fail. As sad as this sounds, it's reality.

We spend more time and money doggy paddling through life than actually learning how to swim different strokes that take us from where we are to where we want to be. There is the butterfly stroke (the most challenging), the breast stroke, the side stroke, the back stroke, the front crawl and free style swimming. We limit ourselves to bathtubs, pools and ponds when there are oceans out there waiting for us. It doesn’t matter how young or old you are, you can learn how to swim.

You’re walking through your life, minding your own business, and doing what needs to be done, one day to the next, when “out of the blue,” you are hit by the winds of change. You may not know it, but these moments in your life are calls from Spirit. And, if you answer the call, you can step ...

Are you one of those people who think that if they are out of school they no longer need the education, they no longer need to learn? I used to think like that also. I knew that once you finish school the reading, the studying, the researching will be over. We will always be ignorant, whether we stop learning at 20, at 30 or at 100 but the person who does not stop studying just because they finish school will have a happier and more meaningful life. They will be a more knowledgeable and wiser person then the one who stops this process once they’re out of school.

Transformational Groups explore the potential of the present moment, which is where Divine truth can be tapped into. It's a process of moving participants past the control, distortions and limits of human emotional defense systems, into a co-creative process with the Divine. The human experience tends to remain stuck in what it thinks it already knows. But there is something beyond our limited human perspective, which is evolving and transforming us into a new and expanded consciousness.

This is a time when people are worried about their financial future, both for themselves and for the companies that they either own or contribute their skills to. If you are an entrepreneur or a corporate leader, these times are especially trying because of the responsibility you feel for ...

Heart Awareness Month and Valentine’s Day are both celebrated in February. I don’t know whether that was planned, but the physical heart appears to be associated with our ability to give and receive love. We say: “My heart is overflowing with love for him/her” or “my heart is breaking for the loss of him/her.” Scientists are demonstrating the connection between love, healing and longevity. Loving relationships go hand in hand with heart health and happiness.

I read sometime back about an architect who designed and built an office 'campus' complex. He did not put in any sidewalks, or footpaths between the buildings. He just planted grass and waited with patience. After a few months there were well trodden paths between all of the buildings, which he ...

The new councilman (we’ll call him John) strutted around City Hall, ordered the janitor and cleaning lady to work faster, and shouted down anyone who dared to express an opinion different from his own. Rumors circulated that he abused his wife. Some people said that she had been hospitalized. I ...

Are you interested in running your mind? Do you want to learn how to use your mind with intentionality to create a better life? We all are creating our lives and the larger percentage of what we are doing to create it, is happening beneath our conscious awareness. It is possible, however, to intentionally create your life, to bring every thought into captivity.

What does love mean to you? When, where, and/or with whom in your life are you with-holding love on some level? Why do you feel the need to do so? Is it because you lack trust in yourself, the other person or in the situation? Perhaps you are self sabotaging. Maybe it’s out of spite, envy or jealousy. Could it be you don’t believe in yourself, your worth or love? Fear is one of the biggest reasons people hold back love from themselves or others, or in situations they don’t like.
