Choosing Wellbeing Instead of Offended
For quite some time, we’ve had this affliction, we humans, and it is currently expanding in epic proportions, much like a virus. It becomes dominate in our thinking, changing how we view the world.

Steps to Recapitulate 2012 and Intend 2013
Do this with a group of trusted and supportive friends or by yourself. Have three sheets, one for recapitulation of regrets & errors, self-sabotaging thinking, etc., and one for good (achievements) self control, growth, aha’s, etc. for last year… and, of course, one for your 2013 year-end Intended Self.

In Appreciation of Who You Are
There she was, sitting at the very back of the room; a beautiful woman with neat, white flowing hair, nodding and smiling as I spoke, as if to say, yes, darling, that’s right. There is usually such a woman in the back of the room when I give a public talk! It is mysterious yet […]
