Read MoreAll of the wisdom traditions teach the same core beliefs; that our ultimate purpose as humans is to learn, to evolve our hearts and minds, and to realize that we are made up of the same energy that makes the cosmos twirl, and that gives us all the mysteries of life.
We are that. And in being that, we have tremendous power to foster positivity and healing in the world. And in equal measure, we have the power to destroy humanity and irrevocably damage the sacred web of life…..
Read MoreEven as a little girl, I was always been interested in the nature of reality: how did this world work? How was light and color made? Why do warm breezes feel good?

Read MoreAn emotionally intelligent leader can monitor his or her moods through self-awareness and change their moods through self-management.

Read MoreI've been blessed to advise many 'solo creative entrepreneurs' - individuals who are run their own business and deliver themselves as the main product or service. Examples are artists, PR agents, graphic designers, coaches and professional speakers.
I love working with creative entrepreneurs because they are passionate, talented, and doggedly independent. They dare to step outside the lines and create their life their own way. But I've also seen in them a common and risky trait- they merge their personal and business finances. So they essentially fund their personal and business lives out of "one pot." …..
Read MoreHere is an excerpt from a journal entry I wrote about two years ago.
“ I am suffering from ‘overachievement.” At any given moment, I am juggling 12-18 commitments. In my mind, these are equally significant to-dos.
