A tale of two miracles
“Writing music is my second career. My first career is to be happy.”—Jewel I have never had what’s considered a normal career, the kind with insurance benefits and retirement packages. Instead, I spent the years people typically use to “climb the career ladder” pursuing interesting adventures and, like Jewel, investigating practices that encourage peace, wonder […]
The brilliance of not having a clue
“Throw your dreams into space like a kite. It could bring back a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”–Anais Nin I’m a sucker for a good manifestation story. And two recently plopped into my inbox that I’ve decided to share because they’re both Exhibit A in demonstrating the power of […]
Thoughts are not real, Part II
“As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.” — Lao Tzu So I’m sitting in a little café called El Gato Feo. For those who know Spanish, please know it’s only a joke. There’s no such thing as an ugly cat. Just like there’s no such thing as an ugly reality. There’s […]
Three holy words for times such as this
“If you’re focused on the how, you’re getting in the way.”—Esther Hicks Like most folks in this country, I’ve been in what you might call a state of shock. I have absolutely no idea what to say, what to do. Some of the things happening right now make NO SENSE to me whatsoever. None. War? […]
Bombarded with miracles
“Your smarts, your talents, your good looks – take off these impediments and let us dance!” — Chelan Harkin Tomorrow, in my playshop with Mike Dooley, I’m going to share “techniques” for widening one’s miracle bandwidth. The term “technique” sounds rather didactic and I’ve never really felt like a “teacher” in any real definition of […]
Appearances, be damned!
“Walk so lightly, my darling. On tiptoes with no luggage, completely unencumbered.”– Aldous Huxley If you’ve been here for awhile, at this celebration known colloquially as a blog, you know I live to share miracle stories. To me, they’re the equivalent of the 4-minute mile. They demonstrate that “hey, maybe there IS another possibility.” Maybe all […]
Bumping into other dimensions
“Forgiveness is man’s deepest need and highest achievement.”—Horace Bushnell Good morning, sports fans. I trust you’re staying toasty, cozy and celebrating the fact that much-needed moisture is falling free of charge from the sky. Talk about a miracle! Today’s Course in Miracles lesson, for those following along, brings up the F word. Forgiveness. As I […]
The absolute must-do right now: Curate your intake
“In the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal. We are intimately related. May we never even pretend that we are not.”– Mr. Fred Rogers For the next six weeks, I’m participating in a Laddership Pod with 175-some people from 19 countries. Every day, we read a selected reading and then reflect on what it […]
What would a being of light do today?
“If we only knew deeply, absolutely, that our smallest act, our smallest thought, has such far-reaching effects; setting forces in motion; reaching out to the galaxy; how carefully we would act and speak and think. How precious life would become in its integral oneness.”–Irina Tweedie So let me guess. The question I posed in today’s […]
Who’s on your board of directors?
“Your creator is itching to contact you.” – George Washington Carver One of my first books, commissioned by a national seminar company, was about mentoring — how to be one, how to find one. SkillPath, the company that hired me to write it, sold it at the seminars they trotted around the country giving. Upon […]
