Every now and then, I have this strange experience while driving in my car. It seems I can turn on the radio, and everything I need to know to solve my biggest issue of the day is there for me in a song. What if the music in your life is always there for you with hidden answers to your daily challenges? What if you listen to songs in a new way and really feel the moments when they reach out to you as the voice of Wisdom? What if you immerse yourself ...
I was "What If Upping" a retreat full of spiritual teachers this weekend when one woman shared her dream, explained her vision, then surprised herself with a life changing possibility: "What if I tell people about this?" What if you share your grandest visions with the people who love and support you in your life? What if you cultivate relationships with people who see possibility, who believe in your capabilities, and know you as the beautiful creative being that you are? What if you ...
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 ...
I've heard it said that "luck" happens when preparation meets opportunity. What if you set aside some time each day to pursue your heart's desire? What if you share your biggest dreams with the people who surround you as if you absolutely KNOW they will one day manifest? What if today is the day you meet the perfect person who shares the perfect resource that moves you one quantum leap closer to the realization of your grandest vision? "I've found ...
My daughter came prancing into my bedroom yesterday morning pushing her baby doll's empty stroller. "Look at me!" she pleaded. In my morning grogginess, I peered up to see her climbing into the toy sized stroller. "Jenna, be careful with your stroller!" I said. It was not the first time she had heard me warn her about climbing into the little toy. Without missing a beat, she replied, "Be careful with your pillow!" Was it possible that at the tender age of 2, she has already learned sarcasm? Or was she innocently ridiculing a semi-conscious outbreak of obsession/compulsive maternal worrying? It made me laugh so hard, ...
I had what I call a "Bagger Vance" moment this morning while huffing and puffing through my morning jog. It was the end of my "long stretch," the block on my jogging path that is the longest and most challenging of my morning run. As I came to the blessed street corner, I slowed to a brisk walk and continued my workout down the street. He was sitting on his front porch watching me plod down the road. I would have never know he was there, except for a brief comment that has lingered in my mind ever since. "No one can do ...
I just heard the news. Michael Jackson dies at 50. Farrah, too. Two amazing icons for my generation. Both live on as a testimony to the power of one person to make a difference. Although I was never as ga-ga about Michael Jackson's music as the teenage friends of my youth, there was one song that I have carried with me as a reminder of the power and the responsibility we all have to bring our gifts to the world. I can think of no better tribute to Michael Jackson than to share the song that helped me ...
Before you were born, I loved you. Even before the moment the doctors held you before me and you pierced my soul with your charcoal eyes... I loved you. Even before your tiny fingers caressed my breast like a sparrow seeking its perch... I loved you. Even before you made a nest of my body, finding warmth and comfort in the curve of my hip... I loved you. Even before you ...
