In this sixth letter of Dear Luke, I share Suggestion #1 of what I lovingly call, The Ten Suggestions, or The 10 Core Suggestions for a Personal Value System. This first suggestion, Own Yourself, is the gateway to the spiral of awareness - the beginning of a personal value system to help gain more inner peace, confidence, strength and joy in life, while expanding outwards to others and helping to make the world a better place. Check back each week as I post new letters. And if you enjoy Dear Luke, please feel free to share it!

The first four letters set the stage, and here, in this fifth letter of Dear Luke, I introduce what I lovingly call, The Ten Suggestions, and outline what comes next over the next several months. I am really excited to share these ideas, which are organized around an ever-increasing state of awareness, of how one can connect with oneself and expand outwards to others and help make the world a better place. If you enjoy Dear Luke, please feel free to share it!

In this fourth letter of Dear Luke, I explore the idea of that unpleasant word, failure, how that can hold us back from doing what we feel we need to do in life, and how to transform that idea into something hopeful: falling short, but then rising up.

In this third letter of Dear Luke, I share some ideas about the seeming paradox of specialness and unspecialness, the wonder of being and self, and what I believe is the key to the power of our consciousness.

In this second letter of Dear Luke, I share some thoughts about the awesome scale of our beautiful universe and ideas about expanding our perspectives. Check back each week as I post new letters. And if you enjoy Dear Luke, please feel free to share it!

And so Dear Luke begins! In early 2014, I experienced a life-changing event. This experience inspired me to write this collection of letters to my son, sharing with him my thoughts about life. In these letters, I share suggestions and ideas that I hope will help him find more peace and joy, and also discover and reach his full potential.

You are invited to listen as I read these letters to him in this very personal podcast.

In this first letter, I explain what Dear Luke is about, and why I wrote it. I also explore some ideas about awareness and choice, and set the stage for upcoming letters. Check back each week as I post new letters. And if you enjoy Dear Luke, please feel free to share it!

Dear Luke is a collection of letters to my son with my thoughts about life, suggestions to help him find more peace and joy on his own personal journey in life, and ideas to help him discover and reach his full potential.
