“I can’t sleep in this fevered dream.” It always starts with a “Yesterday” or a “Last week” or some marker in time, as if closeness or distance matters to what’s right, versus what’s right now. As it goes, yesterday, I received a surprise Reiki session, gifted by my neighbor and former client, Arthur. He wrote… Continue reading Writing and Editing at the same time, in one brain
Slow down. Wake up. Reveal. Empty that busy mind of past-thoughts. Shake the worry and fear of time; the present will not be rushed. Breathe in, breathe out, come back, be here. Anything can happen.
For one week, I am going to step into an exercise of grace. I feel encouraged to take a full, 7-day week examining thoughts, as well as the words I let leave my mouth. Thoughts have power, and I want to make sure mine are in accordance to the higher law that I seek, so… Continue reading Grace Exercise: Mind Creates Matter. What do I want to matter?
Many of my clients are professional consultants, healers, pioneer parents, leaders in their field of mastery… ….and first-timers in the arena of writing. It’s not a scary thing. It requires no degree or experience in publication, although sometimes those things are helpful. Did you know that Ray Bradbury never went to college? Same goes for Argentinian writer,… Continue reading First-Time Writers: How to Master Your Craft
When I see people near me—people that I know and love and work with—take progressive risk towards making their dreams full, their product or lives richer and focused and real (especially when they are in my field of interest…), it lights a furious fire in me!

Be empty of it, so it may breathe and grow and birth many stories of its own. There are no mistakes, really.… Continue reading General thoughts, staring out a cafe window.
This week I vow to STAND UP to what scares me most, to write down my obsessions, so they do not occupy my strength, to sail forth through the murky water of possibility, expecting only a torrent of greatness, to lead boldly with the calming fire in my heart.
Business gurus like Ali Brown swear by the notion that your success, money, opportunity lies right outside your comfort zone. In order to create different results, you must take different action. Scary, close-your-eyes-and-hope-you-make-it action. I agree with this —there’s an insane bustle of energy right outside the perimeters of what you find cozy, that often… Continue reading Expanding Comfort Zones — The No-Nonsense Way
My sense of well-being is more important than meeting the demands of my ego. Everything I do, am, and invite into my life creates an overflow of peace. While my schedule might be tight right now, I understand that I have all the necessary energy, time, and motivation to be present for each task. My… Continue reading Affirmations for Transforming Notions of Overwhelm
Tip to bridge gap between where you are and where you want to be: sit with the energy of the future-you that you wish to cultivate. You with the published book. You with the speaking gigs. You flying across the country for book tours. Maybe your goals are smaller in scale. You with the relaxed… Continue reading You are Here, And Here, And Here
