You are more!

Am I my job?  Am I my car?  Am I my house? Am I my income?  In every case the answer is a resounding NO!  You are more than our house, your car, your job or your income, yet sometimes we find ourselves identifying more with our stuff than who we are inside. Years ago […]

Muck and Mire

Muck and Mire are what we call fear.  Muck and Mire are what we call gossip.  The result of blaming others for what we have or don’t have is also an example of Muck and Mire.  Just as we banished guilt the other day as having no place in our now, neither is there a place

The beautiful word “No”

If you are the type of person who tends to want to please other people, as I am, that beautiful word “no” comes hard to you.  I have said yes many times when it would mean giving up my playtime, when it means working later than I would otherwise like to work.  I have said yes rather

It’s All Too Much!

No question about it, we are entering the busiest season of the year for most people.  Halloween is  here, and how far behind can the Turkey Dinner/shopping/party/family/stress-out bonanza be? and if the holidays are not enough, it  is election season too.  The pressure is all too much!  If there is anytime in the year we want

Choices

One of the first things we must come to realize as we step into an In-powered world and experience, is that we can no longer blame anyone else for our actions, our choices, our thoughts. As a result, we can not longer blame the boss, our parents, spouse, friends or the dog for our not achieving or
