  • Daily Spark: “Ferocious” Gratitude

    In her book “Thank and Grow Rich,” Pam Grout mentions “ferocious” gratitude. Today I kept my mind busy ferociously looking for all the things to be grateful for, instead of the things that “need fixing” in my life.

  • This Little Light of Mine

    When life feels difficult and challenging, we all still have a “little light to shine”.  Embracing faith, believing in the overall goodness of the Universe, we can impact people where we are, even here, in the midst of difficulty.

  • Daily Spark: Undoing

    Undoing, or unlearning, is an important part of our ability to manifest the life for which we long. Looking at the beliefs and stories we tell ourselves, we often need to undo, or unlearn old messages, to fully become who we are meant to be.

  • The Suffering Gap

    The Suffering Gap is that area between “what is”, and our expectation of “what it should be”. To the degree I can accept what is, and find the joy and lessons in it, the happier I can be in this present moment.

    You are a powerful creator! You are always creating those things on which you focus. Change your focus, harness your creative power, and manifest the life you choose.

  • Daily Spark: Perfectionism and Fear

    Perfectionism is about fear, about being afraid of making mistakes, about trying to be enough, instead of realizing that we are already enough!

  • The Egomaniac with the Inferiority Complex

    The duality of feeling inferior, while also feeling superior, can be a symptom of perfectionism and addiction.  When I am externally motivated, and too worried about other’s opinions, it is harder for me to create, allow, and shine.

  • Daily Spark: Service

    To shine requires that we be willing to be of service . . . as Frederick Buechner said, “The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and in turn another, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt.”

  • Daily Spark: Purpose

    Your purpose can be simple, like a mission statement is for an organization. How would you define your purpose and the gifts that you want to share with the world?
