What if you simplify your life?
I've been re-reading Walden this week by Henry David Thoreau. More than 150 years ago, he began a quest to understand the "essential" elements of a meaningful life by spending almost three years in a ten by fifteen foot cabin built by his own hands in the woods near Walden Pond. I am inspired: What if simplifying our lives helps us focus more clearly on the things that matter most to us? What if you take a few minutes each day this week to consolidate your music library, clear out old books, or give away treasures that ...
What if you dare to dream?
I once asked famed molecular biologist Bruce Lipton, "From a scientist's perspective, if you had one piece of advice to pass to our youth, what would it be?" His answer was simple: "Follow your heart." What if your dreams invigorate every cell of your body, and bring you the energy to move mountains? What if, by following your heart, you reduce stress, access your creativity more easily, and add a spring to your step that attracts all sorts of amazing opportunities? What if all the courage, the faith, the wisdom you need to make it happen is already right there with ...
What if you give yourself time to explore?
We live in an era of constant change. There is an information explosion happening all around us. For pioneers on the leading edge, there has never been a better time to explore the possibilities!

What if you took a few moments a day to read your favorite books, poetry and magazines? What if you discover new music, exciting cultural events, or an intriguing class that calls to you? What if our time invested in ...
What if all your efforts are about to pay off?
You've been planting seeds. Dreaming big. Taking those small, inspired actions day after day. What if this is your time to shine? What if today is the beginning of a bountiful harvest, filled with abundance and opportunity? What if you take the time to celebrate your wins? After all, you deserve it! “The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.” ~Henry David Thoreau Yes, you really do deserve it. What if your payoff continues to grow and multiply in ways you could not even imagine?
What if you create your own sacred space?
The lighting of a candle. The melody of a songbird. The laughter of a child. The soft, warm brush of the wind against your cheeks. What is it that makes a place sacred? What if you could create an environment for profound spiritual connection anywhere you choose to go? What if you transform a space in your home or office where you can quietly retreat when you seek clarity and direction? What if you venture consciously into nature's sanctuary this week to reawaken to the beauty of Life? “I went to the woods because I ...
