What Are You Manifesting?

 The answer is, whatever you are focusing on with feelings. It’s too damn bad we do not have better control over our inner dialogue because it is ruling the roost and manifesting “our destiny.” We channel our feelings into the “third eye” and, like the headlamp of a Burning Man biker at midnight, it blazes […]

Do Gooders Deserve Money Too

I’ve been working with a lot of yogis and people in the helping professions lately and I’m dismayed. It’s such a bummer that some of you do gooders think that money is dirty, tainted or just hard to come by, because I want more do gooders to have more money. When idealists have money, they […]

Out of Whack?

 What do managing time well, communicating the truth and manifesting have in common?They all lead to sustainable happiness and they all elude us regularly. Most practitioners treat symptoms; at Handel we study how to solve people’s unhappiness at its source. Always at the source of unhappiness we find breaches in Personal Integrity®, or something that […]

We’ve Gone Healthy

We got nailed again. Part of being extraordinary means you are always open for improvement. In fact, you make it your job to grow, learn, evolve and get better. So, of course, we had to notice the new health wave going on around us and not get dusted! Thanks to pioneers like Kris Carr, the […]

Be So Unlike You

Going to Burning Man was so “unlike me.” I like order, cleanliness and accomplishment. It’s not about any of that. DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BURNING MAN? It’s a week-long gathering of somewhere around 50,000 people, in the middle of a Nevada desert, that come together to socially experiment with self-expression. Everything you bring in you […]

That’s Not My Job Is A Lie

Uh-oh! I caught myself saying the wildest thing to myself the other day. I was at the sink in the bathroom and it was cluttered up with kids’ stuff, my stuff, general messiness. I caught myself thinking: 1) It shouldn’t be this way.2) Whose fault is it?3) This is NOT my job. Argh. Whose job […]

Dividing the Labor In Relationships

It’s a common misperception in relationships that things should be equal. Not so. Did that get your attention? Keep reading. Do we agree that most fights in relationships have to do with unmet expectations about who is responsible for what? (This includes keeping love, romance, trust and sex alive and thriving!) For example, you might […]

I’m Just Not Romantic and other Lies

Okay this one has some tough love in it – beware. I’m thinking your whole life is based on your theories. If you think true love is hard to find, you will probably manifest just that. If you think you can’t trust people, you will probably find it to be true. If you believe that people […]

Prove The Impossible

Recently I was upset to find that I still believe in some pretty dumb-ass theories. Namely, the thought that I am not romantic and that it’s not my job to clean up after myself. Yikes! Gross and unhelpful to my marriage right? But then I realized this is an epidemic, and everyone has his/her brand. […]

When I Was Your Age

 – When I was your age, we didn’t have cell phones or laptops.– When I was your age, we had to work for our spending money.– When I was your age, kids respected their parents.– When I was your age, I walked barefoot to and from school, uphill both ways.“When I was your age…” is […]

Integrity = Magic

Do you wish you could give yourself a little extra edge in life by having a magic wand? I say I have that wish, but, in reality, I prefer hard work and living in integrity. Here’s a fun twist, though, it turns out they go hand in hand. In fact, sometimes I find it downright […]
