Leap and the Net Will Appear
03/02/19
I love the quote by John Burroughs, "Leap and the net will appear." Have I found it to be true in my own life? Absolutely. But does that mean that every time I take a leap, or embark on a grand new adventure, that I proceed with calm, clarity and trust? Not always!
I don't think of myself as a very daring person, and for the most part, I live a very peaceful and quiet life. Yet, when I look back, at least once every decade, I've made major life changes that required a great deal of courage and a willingness to risk.
Sometimes these shifts and changes emerged out of extreme pain and loss: a divorce, a death or some other unforeseen event which forced an inner reshaping and a coming to know myself in new and deeper ways. But other times, they might have arisen because of an idea, an impulse, an aha moment, an epiphany.
Years ago, I had a moment when a clear, spontaneous vision came to me. I would take a year's sabbatical and go to live in France. How liberating, how exciting! The problem was that I knew no one there, my French was extremely rusty, and to make it financially viable, I would need to rent out my home and find a place to house sit there. Daunting? Yes, but the passion I felt burning within galvanized me. Read More…

Dare To Dream

“Daydreams are basic design”
– Architect Frank Lloyd Wright
You were born a creator, and all human physical creations begin as a thought, a vision, a daydream.
Ask yourself, what would you love to have, be, do – if there were no constraints ? And if you aren’t sure, spend some time daydreaming, and envisioning yourself doing, being, having a life which makes you feel fulfilled. What does that look like?
If you are already clear, or have become more clear about what you wish to manifest in important areas of your life, write it down, being as specific as you can. Read More…

Six Impossible Things
05/22/17
“There is no use in trying,” said Alice, “one can't believe in impossible things.”
“I dare say you haven't had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Quote from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Conscious Creative Design
04/14/17
Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous architect, was correct when he said, “Daydreams are basic design”. All physical human creation begins with a thought, a vision, a daydream. The paintings on your wall, the music you listen to, the house you live in, the car you drive.
But how often as a child were you told not to daydream, especially as you found yourself gazing distractedly out the schoolroom window during your least favorite class? What if instead of being shamed, you had been taught that daydreaming is the igniting spark that sets the process of manifestation in motion?

What the Movie The Secret Never Told You
04/06/17
The Secret, written by the Australian television producer and writer Rhonda Byrne, was a highly popular book published in 2006. It sold over 9 million copies and has been translated into 46 languages. But the film, also produced by Rhonda Byrne in 2006 may have become even more popular.
Loved, hated, parodied by many, it focused on the principles of how to use the Law of Attraction to manifest one’s dreams and featured a number of spiritual teachers and authors, such as Mike Dooley, Jack Canfield, Lisa Nichols, Bob Proctor and Marie Diamond.
To be fair, The Secret did help seed the paradigm of what has been called New Thought into mainstream mass consciousness. And that’s a good thing. But what were the downsides, the drawbacks, and what did The Secret neglect to tell you? As a friend so succinctly put it “The Secret would have you believe that the Universe is just one gigantic vending machine!” Read More…
