Everybody talks about “abundance” nowadays – a lot. Ninety-five percent of the time, they’re talking about money. Moolah. Lettuce. Greenbacks. And that’s what 95% of the courses and teachers who deal with the Law of Attraction focus on. After all, we all need money. Unfortunately, we often think that having money will solve the other issues […]
Life Purpose Is Not a Job
December 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Many of us have an urge to figure out the “why” of life. Why are we here? Is there really a Life Purpose for each of us…any real meaning to our very existence? The proverbial existential conundrum. The idea that we have a specific, individual mission in life is appealing; I believe it’s true. […]
Life Purpose: The School of Hard Knocks?
November 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I believe that the whole point of life on this planet is to have experiences on behalf of our Creator (Source, God, Consciousness…). At the same time, those experiences are intended to be the vehicle for us to learn and evolve; this is our basic life purpose. We perceive these as physical experiences, but the ultimate […]
Knowing Is Not Doing: True Mindfulness
November 5, 2012 By Leave a Comment
If you’re reading this, you probably consider yourself to be “on a spiritual path”…or at least you’re interested. Maybe you woke up to spirituality last month…or 20 years ago. In either case you’ve probably been studying various frameworks and belief systems. You’ve read the Tolle, the Chopra, the Dyer, the Hicks. And maybe those studies have lead […]
2012: The End of the World?
October 13, 2012 By 2 Comments
Well, here we are. It’s 2012, and a scant two-months-plus until the dreaded 21st of December. Some folks are scared; some think it’s the Rapture and claim to be looking forward to the planet being washed clean of sin and, not inconsequentially, the sinners as well. (I forget…do the good guys get sucked up […]
Don’t Cut Your Nose Off!
October 6, 2012 By 2 Comments
When I was a kid the old folks actually used time-tested parables and expressions. Nowadays most of these come from TV shows (“No soup for you!”) and other popular media. But before TV took over our culture, those old chestnuts served well. “A stitch in time saves nine.” In other words, fix it now […]
It’s You, Not Them

Recently a pal of mine, Julie, wrote something about “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Got me thinking. Of course it’s a cliche’…but cliches become cliches for a reason: because as often as not they’re true. Those of us with “differently-enabled” loved ones in our lives become painfully aware of this truism. Nothing […]
The Incredible Lightness of Not Giving a Sh*t
August 3, 2012 By 7 Comments
A few years ago I ran across a video titled, “Fuck It” (do a search on YouTube). It’s a promotion for a book – I’ve never read it. I’m sure it’s a fine book, but I’m not promoting it here. I just like the video and the sentiment behind it. I’ve read a lot […]
When the Clearing Doesn’t “Work”
July 6, 2012 By 8 Comments
A large part of the work I do involves “energetic clearing”. A lot of people nod knowingly when such things are spoken of. But as with a lot of things, that’s just because otherwise they think they’ll appear to be stupid (hell, I’ve done it myself when faced with something I know little about). […]
Reincarnation and Mediumship: What Up?
June 21, 2012 By 8 Comments
When my spiritual “awakening” really kicked in and I began to investigate this whole spirituality thing in earnest, I constantly looked for validations of what I was hearing, if not outright proof. I had to remain a skeptic until my doubts had been satisfied – otherwise, my belief system would have been based on nothing (i my estimation, and […]
