We go through life thinking that it’s a bad thing to have sustained any wounds. Nobody gets out of here unwounded, my friends. This video, and the myth of Chiron, triggered a realization in me. Don’t you love those realizations? I get this deep understanding today. There is a purpose to[...]

Fantastic Fridays Edition 5
A reminder of what Fantastic Fridays is all about can be found here. I started to do these weekly postings to help me be more accountable in creating an extraordinary life. Some weeks it feels easier than others to report on my accomplishments. Not sure if that’s the right word, as I’m n[...]

I wanted to pass this on, an incredible demonstration of the power of grace in healing. Healing isn’t just about the removal of disease or illness. It is the gracious soothing of emotional, mental, and psychic wounds. The wounds that come before the disease or illness. The wounds that become c[...]

Passion? What is passion?
My life started to turn around for me when I started to ask what was important to me. You can read a bit more about my philosophy here. What matters to you? What turns your crank? What would you do if there were absolutely NO obstacles in your way? It’s way easy to find what you’re passi[...]
