When you’re one with your Self, that’s when you become truly magic. That day by the pond, I came out of meditation with the very clear goal of looking at the beauty around me as if it had been a mud hole the day before. The pond actually was a mud hole when I first moved into this house in 2006. So I came out of that meditation thinking, what if I went to bed last night with a mud hole and woke up this morning with this? And when I opened my eyes, I really was able to feel th

I’d been planning to hold off releasing it until Tuesday September 4th, because everybody knows a Tuesday release has the best chance of hitting a big list. And because that’s the first Tuesday the astrologers say is okay. And because all the experts agree that a monthlong or longer pre-order period will maximize velocity of sales during opening week. But then I grabbed hold of myself, recognizing that I was thinking in terms of making things happen rather than allowing them

Several times throughout the year, we discuss again the themes we chose and how we feel we’re doing. And at year’s end, we do a thorough review of the year gone by, and how well it reflected our theme for the year. It’s a fun and effective practice! A Revelation This time, however, instead of focusing my keywords on areas where I want growth, I’ve decided to spend 2017 well and truly attentive to where I already am. I’ve had a couple of very good years in a row. But I don’t f

Happy Thanksgiving! As I go through this blessed journey that is my lifetime, I can see the difference it makes. All around me, people I know and love are focused on the tragedies in their lives, the losses, the troubled relatives, the broken families, the pain. And it seems to be the main topic of conversation for them. They think they are thankful and grateful for their many blessings, but frankly, you can’t be both grateful and complaining at the same time. The two vibrati

Attuning with Nature's Cycles Creates Alignment Attuning myself to the patterns of nature is, for me, the most beautiful path to alignment. And when I’m aligned, I match the vibration of all the things I’ve been wanting, and none of the things I have not. So the unwanted things fall away, and the wanted things come rolling into this experience I call reality. Fall feels like crossing the finish line There’s just something about autumn, isn’t there? Especially where I live, he

Last night, I spent some time out on the back porch looking up at the moon and letting my mind go quiet. I’ve been letting myself tense up over the upcoming new book release, only three days away now, and I know that being all tense and jittery about its performance is the best way for me to ensure it does less than it could. By being nervous, I’m confirming that I’m not certain it will do well. I have been trying to let go of it, to accept in peace and grace that it will rea
