[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”740″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] It’s time to write your book [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] Seems like a lot of people have “write a book” on the list to do “someday.” If you have a great idea, a great story, or expertise in some area that would help people, why are you holding back? Your book helps you […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”744″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] We all know the destructive power of unhealthy relationships – they can tear down our self-esteem and make us angry, unhappy, and stressed out. It’s easy to get obsessed with that nasty person at work or the annoying neighbor upstairs. But the positive people in our lives give us energy […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”750″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text] It’s spring, and suddenly all the trees are budding.

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”754″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] I like to “get out of my mind” enough to hear the whispers of intuition, the voice of Spirit.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”757″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] I’m late already! [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] How often do you bolt up in bed in the morning, look at the clock and think, “Oh, no! I’m late!” Then the rest of the mantra starts, “gotta rush, too much to do, where’s my stuff, I should have, I’m never gonna get it all […]

Making money for money’s sake is […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. Sir Francis Bacon – English author, courtier, philosopher (1561 – 1626) I recently watched this brilliant presentation about different perspectives on time, called The Secret Power of Time.
