All I can say is, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find us a dose of wisdom from this collective font of musical genius. Source aside, there are a lot of reasons to appreciate what George has to say to us this Monday morning. We spend a lot of time up in …
There are so many reasons not to do it. You’re busy, overloaded, and tired. And who has the time?? You’ll get to it tomorrow, for sure. If putting together excuses for not engaging in your mindfulness practice today were actually a mindfulness practice, you’d be all set. The issue is, what you’re trying to make …
Lately, I’ve been trying to start my day with something a little different. I’m a morning person, so even on the occasions when it’s tough to actually peel my body out of bed, once I’m up, the wheels start turning pretty quickly. It’s a good time for me to get things done, so that’s usually …
I had an idea already in mind when I woke up this morning for this weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge that was based on our earlier topic this week: those goals that just don’t quit.

That’s the dominate pace of life these days. If that’s how you respond …
This week’s earlier post was about a lot of things. It was about making decisions, finding professional fulfillment and personal happiness, and surviving disappointment. It was about dreams realized and hopes dashed. It was about the role your mind plays in framing the lens through which you see and experience the world. But at the …
There is nothing quite like the magic of a dream come true. Once we discover that there is something meaningful we want – something we aspire to having, achieving, or doing – and we set out in the pursuit of making it happen, it can be hard to imagine ourselves without it. We ignore (for …
This gem from Marianne Williamson sometimes takes a read or two to sink in…how could we be afraid of being powerful, right? Well, we get used to our comfort zones. We like knowing where our limits are. Pushing them out into new territory is scary. We don’t recognize ourselves, let alone anything else. So, we …
I don’t want to try to speak for you, but I’m guessing that maybe it hasn’t been the easiest week. Campuses and offices are back in full swing after winter holidays, workloads are building back up, and also…well, as we talked about earlier this week, the world as you know it may feel like it’s …
