Imagination (Image-In-Ation)
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?...
Curious?
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 Hundred Push-Ups in 6 Weeks
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...
Post-Cleanse – The Learning Continues!
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...
Trusting the Self
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...
Feeling Incredible on the Cleanse
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...
Bluey the Blue Green Frog
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...
On Froggies and Attachment
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...

Mother Universe
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...
Natural Motivation-Action
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 is Power…
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...
Joy
I really live an amazing kind of life. One where I am in JOY more often than not. The form my life takes is ordinary enough in the day-to-day trappings. I have joyous things and incredibly challenging things and everything in between. Yet,...
Beautiful Place, Beautiful People
I'm sitting in the most beautiful room in the world, the great room at the Grail. I'm enjoying the fire and the breathtaking view of the lake and forest. This truly is a special and healing place. The Grail continues to attract brilliant people that...

The Beauty of Emergence
Ok, so I'll try not to get too effusive here. It is simply amazing to see a person, already of very high performance, discover whole new levels of satisfaction and fulfillment. To see that they don't need to suffer they way they've been suffering. To see that a...

A New Bluey?
Bluey, "my" blue coloured green frog (Rana clamitans) that lives (used to live?) in my pond has been missing for a long time. I really miss him, and I always keep an eye out for him... This spring, there are LOTS of frogs...Maybe the most I've ever had! There seems...
