What gets in the way of forgiveness? 

As we continue this conversation around forgiveness it’s important to take a step back and see the big picture, not just focus on the individual moment where things went sideways.

The causal stream – cause and effect – can have such a history to it (and by definition it does) that the events that l...

We live in a relational world. The only way we can actually experience love is through relation: relation with other people, relation with nature. We operate in relation. Constantly.

That is the nature of the human experience! So by our very nature, we're going to have situations where we bump into...

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to the subject of Forgiveness, I can use all the help I can get.

So I've collected my thoughts on this topic – both through other research and my own experience –  and of course I welcome your own experience, your own insights, your own discoveries that...

What is Grace?
Where do you find Grace? 

Is it an effortlessness? 
Is it the ballet dancer?
A gently swaying willow in the afternoon wind?
A soaring soprano. 
a mother comforting her child.  

Maybe it is all of these and yet, 
it’s more, isn’t it? 

Maybe Grace is found in 
the way we love,
the way we li...

Unlike other species on the planet, humanity has the distinction of being aware of our impending mortality. But the idea of death actually can save us, and this is what is so powerful. 

I bring it up here because underneath all this fear we’ve been exploring is really this ultimate fear of death. I...

We can consider our birth to be the Original Fear. Now, as you’re reading this I'm sure you don't remember your birth. So how could it have been a fear? 

Well, we know that like the iceberg, so much is taking place in our unconscious mind, and our birth is there as a memory. It did forge some kind ...

Thich Nhat Hanh, the Buddhist teacher said, meditation “has two aspects. Stopping and calming is the first and looking deeply to transform is the second.”

Now, meditation is ubiquitous. Many people will meditate because it reduces stress and it calms us, relaxes us. It has great physiological benef...

Fear is what creates resistance to possibility. It's what gets in the way.

And yes, we give fear a bad reputation. But I'd like to reposition fear and say that fear is actually very well-intentioned!

Our brains have evolved over a huge amount of time. They've gotten humanity this far, and they've ...

How do we uncover opportunities? How do we create more possibilities that show up as opportunities? 

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” – Thomas Jefferson

 I think we can all resonate with that idea. But what gets in the way of possibil...

There is a place in you
that was never meant
to be tamed. 

What is it to be wild? 

They told us, 
didn’t they, 
when we were small,
not always in words,
