THE JOY OF LEARNING – TAKING IT TO THE STAGE As adults, if we don’t hold ourselves to a focus of learning, we often end up in resistance. I am permanently changed as a result of a huge learning endeavor over the past 9 weeks. I signed up for the journey to participate in a…
As adults, if we don’t hold ourselves to a focus of learning, we often end up in resistance. I am permanently changed as a result of a huge learning endeavor over the past 9 weeks. I signed up for the journey to participate in a dance performance in Hollywood at The Cupcake Theater. It was…

All of us have vampires in our lives, people who suck our energy. Sometimes these vampires are very clever about stealing our energy before we even know it.

We are all asked to do things we don’t like to do, at work and in life. We’re also put in situations to deal with people we prefer not to be around. It is our nature to go to war. We are not trained to be luvvers. It is only in our essence, which must be…

Yet, it’s scary how easy it is to get stuck in patterns that don’t work: neurotic fretting, rigidity, skepticism and depression. People recognize that they can’t trust the government, the federal reserve, their employer or even their family to keep things the…
Being happy is your essence. Working happy is your purpose. Keeping happy is the adventure of a lifetime. We have so many illusions of happiness and of work, yet there is an undeniable attraction to both. The formula we sell is – work leads to success and success leads to happy. We are incorrect on…
When old time mariners needed to know about the weather, they had no internet or TV to clue them in. They relied on their powers of observation, their logic, and their experience. They would look at the sky, feel the wind on their faces, observe the surface of the sea. Some even swore they could…
