Limits are good for us when they are in place to serve us or protect us in healthy ways. But when they restrict us, when keep us from getting where we authentically need to go, it's time to rethink them and do something different.

Isn't it good to know that in any moment, we’re the ones who can do something to change them?

Today's consideration, creating shifts in our outlook and in our thinking so that we can see the good in us and in the world around us.

After spending a large part of my life drowning myself with negative thinking, it was time for a change. As I shifted, I was marvelously surprised at what began to happen.

Join me as we look at making sometimes simple shifts that bring us back to clarity.

We get so busy managing the details of our lives that it's easy to outrun ourselves, missing what our lives are really about. I know a place beside Homer Northam's creek where real magic can happen. Perhaps it's time to go there again and allow ourselves to rest. Come sit in the shade with me for a while.

Our consideration today, reducing the pressure in our lives.

Sometimes I laugh as I wonder what it might be like to have a built-in pressure gauge to measure the various pressure in our lives. I’m pretty sure we’d be shocked by what we saw.

Join me as I share some ideas about reducing the pressure and sometimes, letting it go completely.

The old phrase, “You hold my heart in your hands,” implies that someone else has the power to lift us up or put us down, the power to make us feel loved or rejected. So, what happens when we reserve that power for ourselves?

Join me as we talk about lovingly holding our own hearts in mindful and beautiful ways.

What might be different if you considered your voice, and the sounds that it produces, to be a rare and precious musical instrument? What music would you make?

Join me as we consider precisely that. And by the way, welcome to the orchestra!

The tradition of offering blessings is an ancient one that may be more important now than it ever was. As I speak these, I imagine you sitting with me, listening as I say them directly to you.

When we do the math correctly on the delivery of kindness, we discover that there is a balance that happens automatically when we begin by being kind to ourselves.

We actually have more to give and the quality of what we deliver is better.

Join me as we talk about how to do just that.

When I gave myself the gift of a day in silence, setting aside a number of things that could wait, there opened in me an inner quiet in which I could actually hear myself.

Join me as we consider the power of silence, and the innate clarity that results from it.

Sometimes, our changes happen so strongly and so quickly that we can hardly seem to keep up.

Join me as we look at ways of tapping into the immovable force in us, regardless of how things are changing.
