Pride goes before a fall. Remember that saying? It’s actually incorrect. In the King James version of the Holy Bible, Proverbs 16:18. ”Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” This proverb seems to indicate that pride is a dangerous pastime! It leads to destruction, oh my! Pride must be the worst thing [...]
I made a commitment to a close friend that I will write a new post to my blog each week at least for a while to share my truth, to express my heart, and to serve the greater good. I was immersed and inspired during the recent Revelation Conference hosted by Agape, with a variety [...]
"I wish one of my relationship expert friends would write a specific article on “How To Leave While You’re In Love”. This has been one of the hardest things to do because, right or wrong, I still love him so much. I just had to take a stand for real partnership that I’m committed to [...]
The ego is a funny thing. For many it is what defines them (USED BY IT), and they daren’t venture beyond its confines. For others, it is like a cage they are trapped in. For still others, it is all that is. And for yet others, it feels like the controller of who they are [...]
In conversation with another renegade free thinker this morning, I shared my experience of Braco, who shared his gazing gift at Agape this past weekend. He suggested I write about my experience as it may serve others. You can find my friend Ran at http://livingthedreamdeferred.blogspot.com This past Sunday, Agape welcomed Braco (pronounced Brat-zo) and he shared [...]
My work as a relationship coach and guide provides me with many interesting conversations and experiences that become teachings for all! Here’s one such example. Romance is a dance where there is much mystery, confusion, archetypal beliefs, role-playing, formality, theatre, misperception, thrust & parry, gesture and response, ostentation, and often flowers. Today, I was talking [...]
“I can’t afford to.” “I don’t have time.” “I am too busy.” “It’s not my thing.” If you have said any of these before (and I have too), get a clue! “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are [...]
I remember one evening several months ago, about 9pm, packing up my car from one house-sit that had ended, with no idea where I would be staying that night. I must admit my limited thinking began to show up. I was beginning to wonder if my luck was running out (which is so ridiculous to [...]
Saying there was a little trepidation as I took what was one HUGE leap of faith is about as accurate as calling the weather in Los Angeles slightly sunny! To give up where I was living and choose to house-sit and couch surf, what was I thinking? Looking back, I recognize that I had absolutely no idea [...]
In support of BLOG ACTION DAY 09, I offer an alternate perspective on this year’s theme of CLIMATE CHANGE. My offering probably differs from most out there about saving the environment, global warming, the death knell of a dying planet, the need to go green, stop driving or eating meat, and the call to become [...]
Insanity is a strong word, isn’t it? Do you know someone you believe is insane? How do you feel about them? Does insanity mean something bad to you, something negative or something that is unsanitary or unpleasant? For the focus of this blog post, let’s take insanity out of the clinical and psychiatric and place it into [...]
The first and most prevalent trap we get caught up in, particularly in Los Angeles, and most of the Western World is STATUS. Another way of putting it is we are trapped in the addiction of COMPARISON. Let me explain. Status is an interesting aspect of the Western way of life. It is probably the cornerstone of [...]
Again, these traps are equally impactful, and the order is somewhat unscientific! Let’s get to it. It is so tempting in this life to do what gets us by in our everyday lives. How many times have you made the choice to not do something risky or challenging or that may change your status quo? [...]
How can you be spiritual and yet get upset? Being spiritual means different things to different people. It may mean you have an understanding of who you are as a spiritual being, or have a spiritual practice of some sort, whether meditation, yoga, reading, or something else. For some folks, it is important for them [...]
Relationships can be the most profound or most mundane experience. Relationship with another can be a place to suffer and blame, or to thrive and grow. It all comes down to choice. Read on if you have the courage and curiosity to live life more fully and effectively. The relationship you have with anyone else out [...]
