Happy Anniversary Jay and Nancy
So this was written three years ago. Today is our 26th wedding anniversary and we still feel like we look in this picture — crazy about each other! Twenty-three years ago today, at just about this time, Jay and I were in the midst of our wedding ceremony. It was Sunday. The wedding was […]
Rhythm, Routines, Competing Priorities, Keeping My/Your Word and Success
I have struggled to find the rhythm that will lead me to success, by which I mean a life filled with the things I want to accomplish. My latest book is The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win and what I have come to realize is my issue is my […]
Let Me Remember*
Today is one of those days when conflicting goals find me feeling tempted to enter stress-monkey mode. So naturally, because everything is truly in divine right order, today’s Course lesson is “Let me remember what my purpose is.” It is the reminder that I cannot serve two masters simultaneously. It says “No one can serve […]
Off the Hook
The longer I study A Course in Miracles, the more I get why it is really about learning to forgive. In truth, it is just letting myself off the hook again and again and again. Intellectually, I understand this but the practice is another story. Like any skill, I may think I get it, but […]
Magic Thoughts
How many mornings have I thought I had adequate time to reclaim my old habit of daily writing, with sitting with God, with the pitapat of the keyboard as I settle into contemplation? Too often! Too often, I have arisen early enough so that theoretically, I should have had adequate time to wedge the activity […]
Love Letter to Michael Rowe
This is a love letter. Writing love letters is not something I’ve done a lot of over the years, but before the days of instant messaging and cell phones that allow us to communicate from all corners of the earth, the depths of one’s affection for another could be evidenced by taking the time to […]
A Story about Stories
The past is a collection of stories. In reality, these stories are the only way the past continues to exist and so it behooves us (me) to tell stories that empower. It behooves us (me) to recount a version that plants seeds of creativity, stories that catapult us in the direction of our dreams rather […]
The Ear of Corn Saga
I was eating an ear of corn on the cob when I noticed it – somewhere along the way, I had adapted the habit of comparing. I had forfeited that was in front of me to enjoy. I had flushed away the present moment’s joy by measuring it against the past; an epiphany that made […]
Breadcrumbs to the No-Self
It seems fitting to me that today’s ACIM lesson is: I am not a body. I am free, for on the heels of yet another ACIM group meeting with “Shams” as an attendee, those of us who were present definitely left feeling high and questioning our reality. Of course, that is the key: question everything […]
