When somebody asks you if you had a good time (like if you went on a vacation to Hawaii, say), they ask “did you enjoy yourself?” What they’re really asking is whether you enjoyed the beach, the food, the experience. All the stuff around you when you were on vacay. More like, “did that […]
The Virtues of Impatience I’ve written and spoken quite a lot about how Patience is one of the universal life lessons – the ones that we all need to learn. When you can be patient the rewards are many. All things come to those who wait, etc. But according to the Law of Polarity, […]
Sometimes I want to punch my Higher Self right in the nose. If he has a nose, that’s where I would punch him. I haven’t actually punched anybody since 8th grade, and that was in self defense. But still… I get so pissed at old HS because I know that he is the one who […]
You hear it all the time from the spiritual/coaching community: step up! Be seen! Spread your message! Be all that you can be (thanks to the US Army for that one)! Inspiring indeed.

Honestly, when I started out I was like most people who want to work independently: if you were breathing and could […]
Well, not yet anyway. I just wrote that title up there so, hey…. give me a chance here! So sometimes it’s like, “umm, you have not written an article lately.” “You’re absolutely correct. I have not.” “Well?” “OKOK. I know. I’ll get right on it ((holding fingers crossed behind my back)). But first I […]
When I was a boy I was an avid reader. I consumed (and was consumed by) any kind of adventure story – Last of the Mohicans, the Zane Gray books, Call of the Wild, and The Light in the Forest (which was based on real events in the very place where I lived) […]
Back when I began doing this work, I intended to help everyone. I was going to pull the lowest of the low out of the pit of despair. I was going to help heal the sick and lame, the addicts, the mentally ill – everything short of raising them from the dead. And so, […]
