This week, we’re con­tin­u­ing our explo­ration of con­nec­tion by look­ing at our seem­ingly con­flict­ing needs to stand out from the crowd and fit in with a group. I believe the con­cept of true con­nec­tion solves this con­flict!  Read more

Today I’m intro­duc­ing the Spark focus for the month of March. And I’m con­nect­ing the March con­cept back to our con­cepts for January and February. It’s all con­nected, yes it is!

To wrap up our February focus, I’m shar­ing a story from child­hood that taught me some deeply impor­tant lessons on desire… Read more

Guess what? Sometimes the things we think we want aren’t really what we want at all. Today, I’m shar­ing a sim­ple yet pow­er­ful tool for dig­ging down past our sur­face level desires to dis­cover the truth of what we’re really long­ing for. Read more

I believe open­ing to our desires has the power to make our lives deeply ful­fill­ing and pur­pose­ful. However, desires can be tricky things. They usu­ally come with bag­gage — lay­ers of inter­est­ing thoughts and emo­tions. In today’s Spark, I’m shar­ing three of the most com­mon lay­ers I’ve noticed accom­pa­ny­ing my desires (and those of my clients) and how those lay­ers can help us under­stand our desires more fully so we can move on to the really good stuff we’re long­ing for.  Read more

A new month is here, and that means a new focus for the weekly Sparks! For February, we’ll be delv­ing into DESIRE. In today’s video, I’m shar­ing two com­mon hang-ups I’ve noticed most folks run into when it comes to explor­ing and fol­low­ing desires.

The past two Januarys, I’ve started the new year by select­ing a word of the year and cre­at­ing a vision board. There are many dif­fer­ent takes on what a vision board actu­ally is, how to cre­ate one, and what the pur­pose is. I’ve always tried my best to keep my vision boards fairly abstract and based on desired feel­ing states rather than spe­cific objects and out­comes I think I need/want in my life. I’ve never been into the whole idea of post­ing a pic­ture of a shiny new car on my board, for exam­ple, and expect­ing to mag­i­cally have a new car enter my life in the com­ing year. Somehow, that approach doesn’t sing to my soul. (If this approach works for you, by all means, rock it out.)

The open approach I’ve taken has served me well over­all, but this year I felt the need to go even deeper into the energy of open­ness and dis­cov­ery. Read more

At any given time in life, we all have a small (or not so small) hand­ful of things we are pretty cer­tain about. Maybe we’re absolutely cer­tain that jog­ging is the best form of exer­cise and every­one should seri­ously start a run­ning reg­i­men. Maybe we’re sure that a par­tic­u­lar polit­i­cal can­di­date is the answer to our country’s prob­lems. Maybe we whole­heart­edly believe that high fruc­tose corn syrup is destroy­ing lives and needs to be banned. Admit it, you hold at least a few of these types of pas­sion­ate beliefs. I know I do. And I say, these are great places to invite some curios­ity.  Read more

I’m sure it will come as no sur­prise that ask­ing ques­tions is one of the best ways to bring more curios­ity to your life. However, not all ques­tions are equal when it comes to cre­at­ing open­ness for dis­cov­ery in your life. In fact, some ques­tions can totally shut down the pos­si­bil­ity for new insights. Check out this week’s video for the full scoop!
