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 [...]

“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 [...]
37 into 15: Adventures in House-Sitting. Lesson 2: Humility

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 [...]

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? [...]
Third Trap That Can Get You Stuck In A Career You Hate! (Part 2 of 4)
By Barry on May 16, 2012 in blame, calling, judge, judgment, purpose, reaction, Relationship, soul, spirit, trap, victim
Honestly, these three traps are not graded by intensity or survey preference. The trap (or traps) you recognize for yourself may be in a different priority order than mine. The information, awareness, and resolution, however, are not dependent on the order! I just chose to write them in reverse order subjectively! So let’s get started. [...]
Are You Answering The Call? Are You Embracing Your Soul’s Purpose? (Part 1 of 4)
I’ve been embracing my own calling this year more than ever, and finding some interesting hurdles and potholes along the way that sometimes slow and sometimes accelerate my progress. I’ve led my own workshop once in August, and scheduled it again recently, however with no attendance, I postponed it. I have been pondering what stops [...]
