Joy to the World
Not so much a late Christmas post, but more of a preview of what’s shown up unexpectedly for me. Sometimes I get really down. The truth, or rather my truth as I know it, can be burdensome. The war over consciousness is real and maintaining a semblance of peace and open-heartedness is difficult for me…

What we Think we Know
As it turns out, not much. Back in the late 1980’s I participated in the Landmark Forum. It was a very powerful and transformative experience. The processes within the Forum, many developed by Werner Erhard in the 1970’s, provide effective teachings to help you face your fear in order to live life authentically. In one…

Sacrificing for the Bottom Line
I’ve held many positions within organizations – manager, customer service front-line, running an owner’s million dollar business, project manager, contractor, and employee left to my own devices. Every once in a while this quote from Werner Erhard comes into my consciousness:

Moving From Fear into Action and Engagement
At one point a few years ago, people who fear public speaking were coming into my awareness. I can remember back when I had that same fear but was cured of it when the meeting-script binder was grabbed from my hands and literally tossed into the group by my trainer. The group loved it and…

Finding Your Humanity in Times of Stressful and Uncertain World Politics
When it comes to the topic of transformation, Werner Erhard is my go-to person. I recently watched a video on compassion with Werner and Dr. Jim Doty, one of the world’s leading neurosurgeons.

A Long-Awaited Change is Coming: Your Life may Start Shifting in a Powerful Way!
I am feeling an exciting, welcomed consciousness change in our midst that is having an apparent effect on people. I’ve been reading articles and blogs discussing significant changes taking place in people’s lives, starting with making big changes to their environment. Many people are moving and/or clearing out their possessions they’d held onto for years. …

How to Increase Your Life Force and Vitality by Paying Attention to Your Words
Our words contribute to healthy living and are just as important to us as good nutrition and exercise. Our words are powerful and carry weight. If we’re not careful, continually being casual with our word and promises may lead to unconscious feelings of guilt, unworthiness, self-blame and depression. Sound severe? Over time, this negatively effects…

Authenticity: Being True to Yourself
I hear the word “authentic” a lot. It’s one of those words that have an assumed meaning, like one we can almost pull out of our heads to describe. I wanted to focus on this word specifically and apply it to my own life. I wanted to know if I was being authentic. Being genuine…
