#1 Truth – We all want love; in fact, we need it to survive. As children, we grow up in families where the parents or caregivers are doing the best they know how, but oftentimes they themselves did not grow up in a secure household, so they don’t know how to model that for their kids. Have you ever felt yourself to be in that situation? 

Most children had to find a way to navigate that landscape, to get whatever love was available.  Why? Love means...

In times of tumultuous challenges, we can either be swept up by the tides or learn how to ride the waves.  I am blessed with amazing kids who are learning these very same things (as are most of us!)  Yesterday I received calls from two of them: one who had seen a father taken from his family while his wife and daughter were helplessly sobbing.  Another spoke of internal alarms going off about the future of the postal system and what that could imply....

Amazing!! I recently interviewed Matt Kahn to talk about awakening in challenging times. If you don’t know him already, Matt is the author of the best-selling books Whatever Arises, Love That, Everything Is Here To Help You and The Universe Always Has A Plan.

What’s up, and what can we do about it?

Can we agree that friendship is such an important part of life? Not only does it help us live longer, heal faster,...

Thanksgiving is a time to come together to reconnect, enjoy a harvest feast, and appreciate life, including the people around us. Yet for so many, it’s not all stuffing your face and laughter. Family dynamics may be strained at the outset, and in contentious times, it’s easy to get sucked into focusing on what we don’t agree on. Here are some tips to make the most of this genuinely awesome occasion:
