Honestly, if it's not unconditional, can it really be LOVE? The way I see it, love and detachment are two sides of the same coin. Ironic, isn't it? What if you could feel your passion, but release the urge to control it's destiny? What if you could imagine a soul-tingling vision for your life and the world, and be totally at peace with your current progress in bringing it to manifestation? What if you wear your desires boldly, no less during times of struggle than in times of triumph? “A burning passion coupled with absolute ...
Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. A chance to pause and remember those who have given their life to serve our country. They have given all for their love of freedom and democracy. And though my calling is different, this day beckons me to ask myself, "What do I love so strongly that I would trade my life ...
I used to think that Valentine's Day was highly over-rated. But then again, how could a day devoted to "love" be all that bad? What if Valentine's Day was not just about idealized, romantic love... but what if it is an opportunity to remind us to shower our attention and affection on all the people and things that light up our lives? What if today we pause to reflect on all the things that make our heart sing, whether it's a warm hand to ...

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 ...
In mythology, Psyche was a mortal woman who was so beautiful, she captured the heart of Cupid himself. When you consider the Greek word for psyche means "spirit, breath, life or animating force," it's clear to see why the gods were so smitten. What if you celebrate Valentine's Day this week by honoring your spirit and acknowledging your unique beauty? What if Cupid's arrow awakens your heart and engages your passions like never before? What if sharing your passion with the ...
My weekend was destined for LOVE. I was in Austin to officiate in the wedding of a close friend, and LOVE was on my mind. What does it really mean to love someone? What do we really get out of making lifelong commitments to each other? The answer awaited me in the lobby of my hotel. It was the annual conference for the Texas Parent2Parent network, an organization that provided support and resources for parents of children with disabilities. It was like walking into a different world. Out mingling in the lobby, crowds of parents, all toting ...
This week, I had the immense pleasure of interviewing Elizabeth Gilbert, the best-selling author of "Eat, Pray, Love." Talking with Liz was every bit as decadent as devouring her book. She speaks with the love, authenticity and compassion of a sister. Within moments of saying hello, I recognized in her a kindred spirit. During the interview, I asked Liz if suffering was a necessary part of birthing a new creative project. We hear about the "labor pains" of bringing forth a piece of art, literature, or music. Must this always be the case? Her response has forever changed the way I view ...
