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 [...]
Your Purpose – The Gift That Keeps On Giving!
By Barry on May 16, 2012 in calling, choice, commit, commitment, gift, purpose, Relationship, romance, self, self-talk, serve, service
What stops you from living full out, dropping self-interest, instead living your purpose and bringing your gifts into the world? You (well, not you of course, but perhaps someone you know) have many reasons and choices for not being all you can be, including the following: Fear of being noticed Fear of failure Fear of [...]

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 BRACO This past Sunday, Agape welcomed Braco (pronounced Brat-zo) and he shared [...]

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me? How many times as a kid did you hear (or use) that saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” ? In my pre-teen years, growing up in England, that was said so many times, [...]
Polar Opposites: The Dance of Romance – It Takes Two to Tango!
By Barry on May 16, 2012 in commit, commitment, date, dating, feminine, human, masculine, matchmaking, men, online dating, partner, passion, physical, polarity, Relationship, romance, self, sex, women
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 [...]

Humility means different things to different people. For some, it means weakness or being less than. For others it has connotations of shame or chagrin. For still others it means emptying out and being unattached. My own interpretation of humility is closer to the latter – I describe it as releasing of the ego in [...]

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 [...]
Care Of The Self
By Barry on May 16, 2012 in care, coach, emotion, emotional, grateful, gratitude, hug, mental, physical, self, spiritual
How do you gauge what’s important to you? Do you consider each opportunity and action before taking a step, or do you run on automatic pilot? Can your daily life be summarized as hitting the snooze button seven times before you drag yourself to the bathroom to blurrily get yourself presentable, then drive impatiently through [...]
