Every good writer knows one piece of essential wisdom – “Show, don’t tell.” This ability took JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, from living on welfare to a 2011 estimated worth of over $1 Billion. In just a few short years! Most helping professionals are terrible at showing. It makes it much harder…
When I was a kid, we went camping a lot. On summer weekends, we would pile bikes, raingear and enough food for 12 people (we were 4) into our blue Ford station wagon. From getting lost in the Disney campground in Florida to having lobster races on the Maine sand, we laughed, sung and cried…
Spiritually, these are wild times. The old ways of doing things are in major flux. One area where it’s showing up in a BIG way is in intimate relationships. It can feel like quite a rollercoaster ride! Over the past year, I’ve seen many clients and colleagues struggle with this. Because of our big hearts,…

Editor’s Note: Even though it’s April Fool’s Day, this post is not a joke. Well, it kinda is. But that doesn’t mean that fun at work isn’t a serious matter. But not too serious. OK, I’ll shut up now … This week, I interview James “Sully” Sullivan – the monster whose story lead to the…
Did you know that under ideal conditions, an asparagus plant can grow 10 inches in less than 24 hours? And, a well prepared asparagus bed can produce for over 15 years without being replanted. I’ve been hearing from quite a few of you lately – healers and other spirit based business owners – who want…
Do you know how to torture spiritual people? A really good way is to give us the ability to transform people’s lives and then put us in the situation where we don’t have the opportunity to DO it very often. This is the scenario many of you – skillful life coaches, therapists, EFT practitioners and…
