Perfectly Afflicted

When I first heard the name of this organization, I wasn’t very comfortable with it. If you know me at all, I’m always looking for positive ways to say something and the idea of claiming to be afflicted just didn’t make sense for me. Then I looked closer at the organizations by-line and realized that it was the perfect name. Their by-line is: There’s Only One You! I met the organizations’ co-founders at a recent Body, Mind, Spirit Expo and was so excited about their message of hope for everyone, with a particular focus on kids and veterans.

Streets of Charlottesville

Earlier this year I was given the gift of being able to visit with the beautiful lakefront home, of my friends Misa Hopkins and Jeff Burger, located just outside of Charlottesville, VA. I met many of their friends, went into town several times and walked the streets of beautiful Charlottesville and even visited some of the beautiful monuments of times gone by. So, when things turned horribly wrong on August 12th of this year, it was personal to me. It brought tears to my eyes and an ache in my heart. I couldn’t even imagine how Misa and Jeff were …CONTINUE READING HERE: Streets of Charlottesville

The Harm of White Lies

White lies seem harmless and most of us have been taught that they are. Is it really true that white lies are harmless? Before I talk about my thoughts on how being dishonest may have an affect on your health and well being, let me share a couple of stories with you. As a child I grew up with a father that told us a variety of things that until I was an adult, I thought were true. I actually believed that he worked at General Motors with Walt Disney doing car design engineering. That was just one of many …CONTINUE READING HERE: The Harm of White Lies

Tapping the Healing Medicine of Circle Gatherings

Throughout the ages, people have recognized that in the universal language of form, the circle spells unity, wholeness, and oneness. In a love-infused circle, layers of tension and fear melt away that we didn’t even know we were holding. At last we can simply be. Something deep within us that had closed down amidst life’s business now begins to unfurl. This sense of expansion brings relief, gratitude, wonder, and awe. Finally, we begin to hear the quiet voice of wisdom. Circlework, the practice I teach, is a spacious experience that includes time to connect both with ourselves and others. Movement, …CONTINUE READING HERE: Tapping the Healing Medicine of Circle Gatherings

What's More Important Than...

In my opinion the top three most important things in life are Love, Health and Happiness. To me without those three things life is a struggle. Yet many people live their entire life looking for love and happiness in all the wrong places and according to the Center for Disease Control in the United States about 50% of our population have one or more chronic diseases and 8% on average are depressed.

I agree that those two …CONTINUE READING HERE: What’s More Important Than…
