I grew up with an intense hatred of bees. Whenever they stung me, I would get a large welt.  As soon as a bee came near, I'd panic… I'd try and swat it away… I'd run… I'd jump in a pool… Whatever it took to avoid being stung, I'd do it. I even remember one [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you Guy Finley's story "The Devil's Plan for Destruction" and some of my initial thoughts on that story about "tolerance." If you haven't yet read that, click here and read it first so that the rest of this conversation makes sense.      In a nutshell, I [...]

Today is my friend Christopher’s birthday, and I’d like to share with you an exercise from him. Christopher is one of the people who I collaborate personally with on a regular basis and he’s the author of 11 books and 3 online educational programs. In addition to helping people transform their lives, he also helps [...]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but over time I’ve become a bit jaded by The Secret / Law of Attraction hype. I subscribe to a lot of newsletters, many of which are about manifestation, and most of them seem to be saying the same things: In a nutshell – it seems like each [...]

   Today I have a special guest post from one of my colleagues – Dr. Joe Rubino of “Total Self Esteem.” I can personally relate to what he shared, and I’m sure you’ll be able to also. At the end of his message is a wonderful exercise to deepen and expand our gratitude while distancing [...]

   Recently I signed up to participate in an 30-day fun writing project based on the wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson (visit ralphwaldoemerson.me for more info). Each day, they email out a quote and a writing prompt that is based on his book, “Self Reliance” as a way to help liberate ourselves from the lies [...]

   For a while, I’ve been wanting to “get this out of my system.” As such, this article may sound a bit like a “rant” and may jar a few peoples’ nerves. On one hand, my intention is not to cause any discontent; on the other hand, if it causes discontent then I’m grateful I’ve [...]

   What I'm going to share with you is deeply personal, vulnerable, and quite honestly I didn't plan to write this today. I thought I was going to share with you a special affirmation I use every single day, yet as I began writing this message it became clear to me that it was time [...]

Until recently, I had never thought of a "lack of unconditional love" in our world as creating a global crisis. Yes, I grasped that greed and war were due to lack of love, but I hadn't actually realized how personal this global crisis is. It all comes down to how it impacts our personal lives [...]

   Years ago, my best friend gave me a book called "Soulmates" by Thomas Moore. At the time, I had no interest in spirituality or personal development… my friend just wanted to help me with my rather desperate search for a meaningful romantic relationship. I read the book, and candidly speaking, I still continued to [...]
