Imagination is the most important tool we have for getting from where we are to somewhere new. The boldness of the "somewhere new" you create for yourself is going to depend on the boldness of your imagination. How much have you been using your imagination muscle?...
I'm walking through the bookstore when I see a bold yellow book, challenging me to answer a provocative question...Curious? My ego wanted to say no, but, and I am so happy about this, I resisted the urge to play it safe, and I said to myself...YES! I *am* curious...
One of my brilliant clients turned me on to this exercise program, at hundredpushups.com. The program trains you (well, you do all the hard work) to go from where ever you start from to being able to do 100 consecutive push-ups. This is for any starting fitness...
Ok, so, I'm 9 days or so "post-cleanse." This was 21 days of really great nourishment for my body (pH balanced eating, organic, vegan), and staying away from all toxins such as chemicals, sugar, processed foods, alcohol, etc. By the end of the cleanse, I was...
More and more, in my work with myself and my coaching work, I see how fundamental it is that we "trust the self." What I mean by this is that we trust our motives, we trust our capabilities, we trust our "goodness", we trust that we are OK. Here's what trusting the...

It's Day 4 of the 21 Day Cleanse. I am feeling great! More and more I realize and accept the truth that we make things SOOO much harder for ourselves, in all aspects of our lives, when we try to fuel our bodies with crap. You know, those boxes of chemicals they...
This is going to be huge. Together with Soul Coach Madeleine Marentette, founder of Grail Springs, Wellness Coach Barb Shaw of Grail Springs, and Chef Moira Nordholt the "Feel Good Guru", I'll be participating in and helping lead a 21 day full body, mind, life and...
Bluey is the blue coloured green frog (Rana clamitans) that lives in the pond beside our deck. He is 2-3 years old. He is more skittish than the rest of the frogs, so it is hard to get a good pic of him, but every once in a while he will stay still for a...
Last year I was looking at my frog pond and saw something really weird. A frog's great big white belly was face-up (I guess that's what we'd call belly-up!) and it was kind of rolling around in the water. I ran over to see what was going on, and I saw that a great...
I highly recommend this book...Courage:Â The Choice that Makes the Difference, Your Key to a Thousand Doors, by Dwight GoldWinde. Dwight is an amazing man, living the life of his dreams, because he has oriented his life around choosing courage. Here is an excerpt...
Everyone seems to be OK with the concept of "Mother Nature". A benevolent force/source that organizes and creates towards the highest good of the natural system(s). We may not understand all of how Mother Nature works, but we intuitively know that She has her ways...
Believe it or not, it is possible to live life as follows: - You know what to do in any given moment - You want to do it - The thing you WANT to do IS the thing best for you and the world at large - You don't procrastinate - You don't suffer mentally and...
Fear. The kind I deal with, and most of my clients deal with, is fear of taking action, fear of the unknown, fear of being ourselves. When fear gets in the way for us, we really are giving into the fear of fear. And, really, fear of ridiculous...
I'll be speaking at the Maine Seth Conference, in York Beach Maine. If you like metaphysics, and being free to be you, you'll love a Seth Conference. They are fun, intellectual, creative and joyful. Seth people tend to be much like the conferences! I'm...
I can still remember it now... I'm around 5 years old, and sitting at the top of one of those molded slides for swimming pools. You know, the ones that everyone had back in the 70's and 80's? I've got three very frustrated lifeguards around me, one on each side of...
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion. Abraham Lincoln If you want a simple formula for success in all aspects of life, the above will serve you and the people you touch brilliantly. There's a reason we have feelings. The...
Imagine... You are an infinite Soul. Everything you think (imagine, picture in your mind, ruminate about) becomes real. OK, not every thing. Just things you are determined to make a relatively big deal out of, especially emotionally. Big deal "good", and big deal...
Yes. Mental performance consultant Ed Tseng posted a great article today on HuffPost, Happiness: Three Things You Probably Didn't Know. My favorite is number 3...And it may even fly in the face of the raison d'être of coaching... 3. The quickest way to happiness:...
I attended a Conversations with Byron Katie event today, and it was very rewarding. There is no doubt that Katie's technique of "The Work" leads to peace, connection with self, and alignment with a Universe built on (of) love. Some of my favorite quotes from Katie...
