Going deep, self examination
January 8, 2009 by Editor

There are times when life urges us to seek more. Small changes to our comfort zone may fail to alleviate any sense of stagnancy or frustration, and we may need to examine our lives and ourselves more deeply to find the right place to start. Everything we need for success and joy lies within. But so often, life’s debris accumulates, building layers around our core that makes it difficult to access the truth that resides within. To reach the depth we wish to access, we must dive below these layers to the deepest parts of ourselves. Read more
Seven Minutes
January 8, 2009 by Teresa D. Huggins
As I watched the movie “Seven Pounds” today, I pondered the power of a simple interaction, a conscious choice and a dream filled with possibilities. As the world transitions to this New Year, I wonder…what if we used our minutes to the fullest. What if we considered that a conversation with a stranger could be a heart print that opens their vision heals their heart or creates a new path for their life? What if we spoke openly and honestly, freely and passionately about our dreams, our convictions and our feelings? What if we all paused each morning for 7 minutes and wrote a gratitude note to someone who made a positive difference Read more
What will change everything?
January 7, 2009 by Editor

Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant. –Anthony J. D’Angelo
What Will Change Everything?:
Every year, John Brockman — who runs the nonprofit Edge Foundation in New York — asks a gaggle of forward-thinking people a provocative question. This is the Edge Annual Question for 2009: “What will change everything?” Writer David Bodanis suggests that some kind of massive technological failure would be game-changing. Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, says that reinventing industry to have less impact on the environment will alter the way we live. And Sherry Turkle, a psychologist at MIT, looks Read more
Do you believe?

I’m already missing the 24/7 Christmas Music! You might be thinking, “Is she crazy? I started listening to seasonal tunes well before Thanksgiving by accidentally scanning onto our local “Christmas Station” and then that was all she wrote! For a month I’ve been singing Baby, it’s cold outside, Blue Christmas, Rock around the Christmas Tree” and so many more. I have to say I miss the magic and spirit behind the music.
The spirit of believing that all will be well by being home for Christmas and the traditions shared through the songs reminded me of the security of family which gave me a greater sense of hope and peace. The one song that seems to be stuck swirling in my head is Josh Groban’s song Believe. For some reason this season it has made a huge impact. Read more

Honest wisdom, the power in not knowing

There is wisdom in not knowing, and it is a wise person who can say, “I don’t know.” For no one knows everything. There are many types of wisdom - from intellectual to emotional to physical intelligence. Yet, even deemed experts in their fields do not know all there is to know about mathematics, yoga, literature, psychology, or art. It is a true master who professes ignorance, for only an empty vessel can be filled. Read more

Some beautiful quotes to share
January 2, 2009 by Sandra Fioramonti

“Intuition and creativity are inseparable as we truly experience “inner” self expression…..”
The intuitive process is quite similar to the creative process. We can decide to write a poem or draw a picture, but we need to be open to our creative impulse, following and expressing what wants to emerge. We intuitively recognize what sounds right in a poem, what looks right in the drawing or painting. For me, intuition is central to my creative process; it’s an inseparable aspect of my self-expression.

You are worthy

You are worthy of the best in life. It’s not because anyone tells you so or gives you permission to be, but because you know deep down that you are.
You have every reason to feel great about the good and valuable things you have done. You have the ability to expand on that goodness, on that value, on your own special gifts.
Where you are is a very good place to be. For you are in a position to truly make a difference by expressing and fulfilling your most deeply held values and dreams. Read more
