5 Quick and Easy Meditations That Anyone Can Do
Don’t have time to sit in the lotus position for 45 minutes? Don’t throw your spiritual journey out the window just because you can’t keep up with the Dalai Lama’s dedication to mental stillness.

4 Key Steps To Making Your Dreams Come True
I love a good daydream. There is nothing more fun than conjuring up images in your mind’s eye of where your life is going, what goals you are going to achieve and imagining the feeling you will have once you achieve that vision.

Is Your Destiny Written In Stone?
I just returned from an amazing event in Seattle that I co-hosted with my friend and colleague Colette Baron-Reid.

Paris: Part Deux
Well, we did it! Our layover adventure in Paris was a complete success. After nearly 12 hours on what I have to say was a delightful flight on Air France, we landed in Paris at 10:30am. Quick recap, if there is one area that gives me anxiety, it is traveling.

Jumpstart
I’ve had writers block. Or is it blogger’s block? Whatever it is, I’ve been blocked. My mind can conjure up a dozen good reasons as to why I haven’t written a blog in almost six months. Maybe it was reading some of the negative comments from the last blog that I wrote. Perhaps it was […]
The Dr. Phil Experience
Feeling judged by others is an experience with which most of us are familiar. Your body type, politics, and sexuality are only some of the reasons that people might pass judgment.
