CAREFULLY LAID PLANS Oct 03, 2024

In my early adulthood, I was a careful planner. I would think ahead to the next thing in my life and then I would ask myself, What is every step I need to take to get me from here to over there?

Most times, when I did this sort of planning, I imagined roadblocks and then carefully made plans to...

CRAFTING A PROJECT PLAN Sep 30, 2024

I have written before about my practice of drafting a project plan for all my goals and then promptly trashing the project plan once it’s complete. What I haven’t told you is why I do that.

The world today seems to be moving faster than ever. New technologies abound. New ways of...

CARING LESS AND LESS Sep 25, 2024

There is a funny thing that happens once you step into the spirit-led life. You start to care less.

You care less what other people think. Their opinions are data points helping you to see your own unique opinions, but they aren’t something you fret about.

You care less about how you look....

FINDING YOUR VOICE Sep 12, 2024

In a world that seems filled with pre-programmed ideas, it can seem hard to find your inner, authentic voice. It can seem daunting to tune out the messages we are bombarded with and to find your way into a strong inner knowing of what you want, unfiltered by what society tells us to want. It can...

TUNING OUT Sep 06, 2024

When I sit to write these posts, I often don’t have a set agenda for what I want to cover. Instead, I let my intuition guide me and see what needs to come forward today. For me. I’d be remiss if I didn’t come clean and let you know that I write these posts more for me than I do...

SPEAKING OUT Aug 27, 2024

For a long time, I associated spirituality with keeping quiet. Not speaking my mind for fear of offending others. Not staking a claim for what I wanted for fear of asking for too much. Not standing up for what I thought because of concern that my beliefs were off base.

Repression and spirituality...

THE KEY TO SUCCESS Aug 21, 2024

What if all of us are on our own independent journeys that are somehow all related? What if we each have a path that we are walking alone, but our journey impacts other journeys in a positive way? What if we are all so intertwined that one person’s success becomes all of our success?

These...

ALLOWING THE LIGHT Aug 19, 2024

When you find a connection with your authentic self, you stop looking for anyone else to make you happy. You stop looking for anyone else to make you feel complete. You stop looking in general as you realize that what you need is right under your nose.

Much of spirituality is about clearing out...

PICKING UP THE PIECES Jul 26, 2024

After a life set back, I often find that my energy is tired, my mood depressed, and my thoughts in the gutter. I easily slip into being hard on myself and judging my own creations. When I hit this phase, which I liken to getting stuck in a ditch on the side of the road, I pull out my all-purpose...

GET BUSY WITH YOUR OWN WORK Jul 23, 2024

If you found this blog, then you are likely kicking the tires on spirituality and wanting to hear what other people have to say.

Here’s by best advice.

Listen with an open mind, but adopt ideas—or beliefs—after a thorough vetting.

There is a lot of crap out there around what it...

MY LOGBOOK Jul 16, 2024

I’ve written of my Logbook before, but this little tool is so effective that I want to give it a little more attention.

I use a Logbook throughout my day. This means that I work intuitively toward all my goals and as I take action, I create a record of the action taken. For instance, after...
