When you’re hurting, do you want advice or for someone to be fully present with you? Being present has within it the power to transform us and to help others.

Join me this week as we consider that happens when we are fully present with ourselves and with the people around us.

Years ago, a retired US Navy fighter pilot and former prisoner of war in Vietnam touched my heart and raised my awareness in at least two ways.

Join me this week as we consider the importance of mental focus and as we ask how it is that we’ve been able to get where we are in life.

Flying can be a beautiful and wonder-filled experience. But we can’t fly by staying bound to where we are or by continually telling ourselves that we can’t fly.

Join me this week as we take to the sky and soar into the pure exhilaration of our own freedom.

Have you ever felt that you’ve pushed beyond your limits? Have you ever felt like dropping everything and running away from your life?

Join me today as we take a closer look at that urge and consider some healthier alternatives.

There is always magic in the world. Yet, when we're struggling, it can be easy to convince ourselves otherwise and not see the magic that's right in front of us.

This week, we'll look at a magical moment and at what remains possible, even when the light seems to have left us.

How often have you found yourself mentally or emotionally “miles from home” and so fuzzy or jumbled or confused that you hardly knew what to think or feel?

Brief and to the point, this week’s podcast is about taking the steps we need to come back to ourselves and to what is best for us. It’s about listening to the wisdom within us and returning to our own authority, and then living from that place.

When we’re struggling, it’s so important to remember that there is always a deeper peace available to us. It is within that peace that we find the confidence and clarity and calm we need to keep going.

This week, in keeping with my faith and with the tradition of my Celtic ancestors, I once again add my voice to yours in the form of a prayer, asking for a deeper peace to wash over you and through you, bathing every part of you in Light.

What labels have been put on you that never really belonged to you? How long have you worn them? Do you have any idea where you got them or what damage they’ve caused to you and to other people? If you could rid yourself of every one of them, right now, what would you do?

Join me this week, as we consider the process of labeling and ways of letting the old labels fall away.

Have you ever found yourself hooked into something that was truly none of your business? Have you ever hooked yourself when you knew better? Have you ever found it hard to get unhooked again?

Join me this week as we consider what it means to get hook and ways of getting unhooked and staying that way.

When I first heard the word “acceptance,” it was in the wake of a profound personal tragedy. I was eleven and completely misunderstood the meaning of the word. Now, sixty years later, I welcome the truth of it.

Join me this week as we consider the real meaning of acceptance and how to choose it and set it into motion in ways that make our lives better and more manageable.
