This weekend I had a powerful conversation with my uncle, Royal Orr. We discussed his work in Africa, specifically the Makete and Njombe Districts of Tanzania, in efforts to bring patient-centered HIV-AIDS treatment and education to rural Africa. He described...
Here are some questions to ask yourself, frequently, which address some of the fundamental factors that go into massive personal success. How well do you know, and honor, what you really value? If someone looked at your life from the outside, and judged what...
Another amazing weekend at the Grail! Here is what I loved about it: - The people at the retreat were great. Being so bright and keen, they helped bring forth the best and most inspiring info and vibes from all of us. Thanks. - Spending quality time...
Clients: Our work together not only brings good to your life, family and community, but also brings good to many other lives, families and communities. It's my honor to know you and serve you. Here are some new things starting this January: - Opt-in...
So, this post has nothing to do with Christmas gifts! It has to do with learning about who you are and what you are meant to be doing in this world. The other day I was relaying a story to a treasured friend about a close encounter I had with an owl. He...
Any INTP's out there? We've got an interesting discussion going at the my life coach site, in the MBTI (Myers-Briggs) Personality Type/INTP's - what do you do thread. ...
[This is one of the hardest topics for me to write about. Phish holds a certain "sacred" status to myself and many others, I know...Risky to fool around trying to talk about Phish with the ordinary words of a mere mortal! But, that is all I have...] In order to...
Let's say you're going along, doing everything you know is important for you to manifest your vision. You're staying present, in gratitude, trusting, allowing, expanding your mental, physical and spiritual health, and taking effective action. Then,...
It's been a challenging month. Although that can be uncomfortable, I am very grateful for it as well, as I know this means growth. I've been hearing of many people going through "growing pains" right now, as we also see reflected in events in our society at the...
On electing a great leader to the presidency. The fact that he happens to be African-American is a bonus. I am largely ignorant of what it is like to be a minority, but I can see that this has a lot of meaning and significance for many...
It’s a common phenomenon in lucid dreaming. You are lucid, enjoying being fully “awake” and aware inside of your dream, when you wake up. You might tell your spouse about your lucid dream, then go on to start your day. Then, you...
This little phrase appeared on my PVR when I tried to select a show to watch: The Event didn't exist I find the tense, capitalization and meaning(s) provocative. I plan to say this to myself anytime I discover myself lost in the...
It is so strange to try and blog sometimes (a lot of the time) because everything that is going on is so over-the-top mind-blowing. Then, when I try to imagine putting things into words, it never comes close to capturing the magnitude/significance of...
OK, here is where I am at on guilt. [Socrates deserves some credit on this one as well, but then again he never wants to take any credit!] There is such a thing as healthy, natural guilt. It comes when we say or do something not fully aligned with what we know is...
One of my brilliant clients, Sheri Kaye Hoff, has just published her first book, Keys to Living Joyfully! This is a profoundly spiritual, personal and moving work Sheri has created for us. Thanks, Sheri, for this amazing contribution to the world of living with...
It's funny, I haven't addressed this question before. Yet, it is a question on all of my potential clients' minds Not mention on the lips of their friends and family should they chose to share their interest in having a coach! Forgive me, but I'll skip over the...
I'll be a regular contributor, in a series entitled Energy Management, in the new Germaine Life Coaching newsletter, Coaching Chronicles. The first issue just came out! If you are interested in leadership, performance, careers and/or coaching, you couldn't find a...
When you feel mad, upset, out-of-sorts, off balance, not-yourself, etc., there is only one reason why: You are lying to yourself. You are holding an idea in your mind, that is not true, and/or taking an action you don't believe in. When we lie to ourselves, we feel...
We've all been there. Overwhelm. Too much to do, certainly too much to try and control. Yet, if we are in overwhelm, we are trying to control too much, consider too much, do too much at once. Yet, that often gets us into a state wherein we don't do anything. Then,...
