On August 28, 1963, before a crowd of more than 200,000 people, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a 17 minute speech that changed the world. Although he did not live to see his dream come to fruition, and indeed we are still en route to that mountaintop, the dream remains as a guiding light for those of us who seek to create a more just and peace-filled world. What if we all had the courage to dream a dream that is bigger than one ...

Isn't it lovely when people agree with everything we say and do?  As nice as it may be, if you are part of a relationship, or part of society, you can bet that sooner or later, someone is going to think that what you are thinking, doing, or wanting is totally out of line. What if these are the times when our inner Wisdom speaks to us most clearly? What if dissenting opinions help us grow stronger in our own knowing of what is ours to do? What if we ...

What do you want to create in 2011?  It's interesting how many people seem to think that we set intentions in order to create a life we love.  But I think, actually, maybe the opposite is true... What if loving our life as it is in this moment gives that extra oompf to the intentions we set for the future? What if we start by loving where we are, and what if that love inspires us to dream a bigger, truer dream? What if this year, we ...

Most people would roll their eyes and shrug it off. But stop a moment to really think about it... What does it mean to be present? Could there ever really be a better gift you could gift to yourself and your loved ones? What if we move through this week fully awake to the sights, sounds and celebrations of the season? What if we take the time to listen, to observe the people around us, and to notice their beauty and uniqueness? What if this holiday season, you allow yourself to be in the ...

My mother is notorious for burning the dinner rolls for family holiday dinners. It's one of my favorite memories. That along with snuggling by the fireside in my jammies while my grandfather recited his favorite poetry... and feeling the joy of anticipation as my siblings and I bounded down the hall on Christmas morning to see what Santa had left in our stockings. What if we slow down enough during the holidays to reflect on our most cherished memories? What if rekindling these special moments brings our loved ones close to us ...

My toddler refuses to sit on Santa's lap to tell him what she wants for Christmas. So this weekend, we wrote him a letter. Coaching her to ask for what she wanted left me inspired. Maybe her faith in the magic of Christmas rubbed off on me... What if we wrote down all the things we want most for this holiday season? What if we look beyond our gift lists and capture with clarity (and in glorious detail!) the vision of our heart's deepest desires? What ...

In the afterglow of Thanksgiving, I invite you to contemplate this week's possibility... What if all the love, generosity and kindness you gave thanks for this week is a reflection of the love, generosity and kindness that lives deep within you? What if the reason we are able to appreciate excellence and brilliance in others is because these qualities first exist as aspects of ourselves? What if that's why little girls love princesses, we'll drop what we're doing to glimpse the beauty of a rainbow, and a masterful work of art can literally move ...

My inspiration this week comes from a windy autumn afternoon basking in a flurry of orange and yellow and red.  As the seasons change, nature's eloquent message fills the air:  it's time to let go. What if you prepared for this week of Thanksgiving by letting go of the urge to control your holiday experience? What if you let go of any baggage, resentment or judgement toward the people you love the most? What if you let go of your expectations for the holidays and simply open your heart to the ...

To tell you the truth, Wisdom seems to have been eluding me lately.  It's as if I've been too busy to be inspired.  But all that changed this weekend.  I feel reborn, and am ready to take action! What if you took daily, consistent actions to care for your mind, body and spirit?  What if that cleared the way for inspiration to find you with ease? What if you write down every inspired idea this week that comes to you from "out of the ...
