This week Hawaii was graced with the music of Rickey Byers- Beckwith and Joe Dickey and inspirational talks from both Michael Beckwith and Mary Manin Morrisey - all on one evening.
While I received gifts of insight and beauty from each one of these magnificent people one thing stood out for me that I want to share with you.
Michael spoke about three states of consciousness and what...
Last night I waited for a friend at the movie theater beside a group of girls somewhere between twelve and fourteen years old. They were all hovering at that threshold age on the verge of becoming young women.
I watched as they primped and groomed making sure their hair fell in just the right direction across their foreheads and their jeans hugged their hips at just the right spot.
I...
Years ago people came to work with me because they wanted to transform their heartaches and struggles into more positive outcomes. In the last five years the primary focus that motivates any of us to reach out for support has dramatically shifted. The dominant stresses are not as obvious as they once were.
Yes, relationship, health and money challenges still inspire us toward change. But...
When it comes to peace I want to talk about the heart. You just cannot get to peace when the heart is constricted or closed.
For many years I have observed how energy flows through the emotional and physical bodies. When you go looking for peace, the head will only get you limited access. You must enter through the heart and you must bring awareness to what you feel there.
In order to do...
Right in this moment love is in the air. If you take a deep breath you can draw it in to your heart and down to your belly. You can let it intoxicate you. I mean it!
We miss the very essence of life when we attach love to certain people, circumstances or events. Are you showing up fully for your life as it is right now?
When you show up fully life meets you with fullness too. And life, at...
Aware Entrepreneurs practice business in ways that contribute to renewal. This runs counter to a common workday experience that leaves individuals feeling drained and depleted.
Recently I compiled a list of five agreements for my team. These five guiding principles create a starting place for discussions about how we might view our work together. They help us to establish an environment...
Over the past few years it has been my ongoing privilege to work with a growing number of couples. They seek me out for private mentoring and for support with the quality of intimacy in their relationships. Some are newly in love and just starting out on their shared journey together. Others are long-term couples. Now, one or the other or both has found themselves at a crossroads. Regardless of...
There are questions which visionaries, artists and mystics and perhaps all human beings, for that matter, face at some point during their lifetime.
How do we distill our unique and very personal understanding of what is possible for human beings into words, prose, music or other forms of communication- in ways that invite others to enjoy and perhaps find meaning from the view that we see?

"Promise me you will always remember: You are braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
Christopher Robin to Pooh
The above quote speaks to the heart of our forgetfulness about our own Magnificence. Remembering that we are, indeed, brilliant in our own unique way takes courage and self-acknowledgment.
It goes against much of our shame- based...
There are a few good questions that business owners, teachers and leaders ask when they are planning for growth in their classroom, their company or their life. Who are my students or clients or friends - really? What makes them tick? And what is unique about the people I serve and regularly connect with?
I have given these questions a lot of thought over the last few months. When the answer...
