What's Up Next For Your New Year?

Have you figured out what is coming up for you in 2009 yet? Do you see the signs? Do you have the feelings? Or possibly feeling more stuck and confused than ever? Exercise: This week/weekend take a few moments out to check in where you are at. What are the things most calling for you to grow in during the new year? What areas are ready for a step up? What areas are ready for release? So schedule a sesh. Or better yet, take a quick break right now. Pause and reflect this week... what's your plan, man? Grab a fresh sheet of paper and make a mess. Figure it out. And make it fun! First just let out what wants to be heard. Then try this:

Note the top three things you want to accomplish. 1. Take something you are doing to a new level 2. Start something totally new that you've put off 3. Give back. Find a way most meaningful to you.

Wrap it up by picking out your top intentions. (Keep this handy for when spring comes around....) Have a beautiful Holiday Season and Happy New Year! INjoy your exploration. In Love and Clarity.

Being Happy - From the Inside Out

I've always been a people watcher. As a young girl, I openly looked at everyone I came in contact with, wondering who was the happiest? It was a little disheartening during my exploration to uncover that it seemed that almost everyone had a significant amount of unhappiness and troubles in life. I guess I wanted to live a fairy tale. Some people, however, had a great time with life, even through its challenges. I noticed that those who were overall most happiest usually had a sense of humor about their experience. They weren't richer, more beautiful, or better off. They were just happy with what was and were strong in rolling with it. Everyone goes through hard times. Being truly happy is not by getting somewhere or accomplishing something. It is a part of who you are . It is your character, your essential being, the fabric of you. Children are often born with a knowing of it, but many of us lose touch with this understand...

Licorice Grandpa

In high school I wrote this story about my beloved Grandpa Chuck. I just read it again yesterday for the first time in 15 years to my son. I am very thankful to remember these details I had forgotten and to share the essence of such a wonderful man with my boy. I also realized how much of an impact he has made on me that still holds in my character today. In memory of grandpa, here is the story. Slightly edited. :) Licorice Grandpa My grandpa was simply the best. There is no way I can describe what an incredible person he was. He seemed to be the only grandpa alive who was still "a kid" inside. It is because of these reasons that my grandpa Chuck has made an impact on how I live my life today. One of the best memories I have of my grandpa is going to his house every holiday. My family would enter my grandparent's huge immaculate house and be overtaken with the strong thick smell of my grandpa's pipe. As soon as we ...

Love Is

“…And the greatest of all these is love.” ~Corinthians You could explore and study love for your whole lifetime and still never fully understand it. You may only catch a glimpse of its fascinating possibilities. Love is one of those expansive eternal forces - far beyond our senses’ ordinary perception. It is something many dream of, imagine about, and wait for. Some say love is the essence of all there is and that love is the answer. Some say love hurts or it doesn’t even exist. Some prophets say that there is only love or fear at the root of everything - and that love is the only truth. We all have different versions and understandings of love - which evolve throughout our lifetime. They may range from a feeling for a soul mate to one about a favorite shirt. Love can be a sweet nickname or a feared word. Some express it with tenderness, others with strength. Some say I love you to everyone. Some reserve it only for “the one”. Others never say it at all. It can be as simple a...
