Hearing about random shootings, missing planes or freak illnesses brings up thoughts and feelings we’d rather not have. Most common: What if it was me or someone I love? Being forced to ask those questions is uncomfortable, yet we […]
Okay, I’ll admit it. I had a 30-second fantasy about having an affair today. The trigger? I was jogging in the rain and so was some dude with his kid who ran past me coming from the other direction. We were intrepid. He mumbled something encouraging and ran on. I swear it was only 30 […]
We have all experienced unexplainable lucky, coincidences in our lives. I’m talking about situations like bumping into an old friend you had been thinking about in a remote location or randomly being offered tickets to a sold-out concert that you had been dreaming of attending.

Please listen to this lovely little song my 9-year old daughter Lela wrote quite spontaneously. I Don’t Wanna I don’t wanna grow up. I don’t wanna go to school. I don’t want any ‘sponsibilities. I don’t want to have a family. I just wanna be lazy. And cuddle my mommy. I don’t wanna get a job. […]

They happened when you were fully present and something unexpectedly wonderful unfolded. Patricia Moreno recounted such an experience at the beginning of Intensati class today (it’s an awesome spiritual fitness class she teaches […]
I have news. Very good news. A big dream of mine is coming true. I want to teach as many people as possible how to fight for their dreams and tell the whole truth about themselves: what they dream of, how they feel, who they are. About four years ago, I decided (with a big […]
There are lots of things in my life at which I am winning. But lately I’ve been re-assessing a bunch of business practices that haven’t been working. I’ve had to face failure in a way I never have before. In the past, I’ve been really good at avoiding situations where I might fail by bailing […]
