Jan Meditation HERE Free Workshop HERE As is often the case, sometimes when I’m writing about a topic, it surfaces in unexpected ways in my life. I’m delighted to say that’s happened this week as I explored Reinvention––the theme of this month’s new meditation HERE and of the webinar I’m teaching ...

Often the first (and sometimes greatest) challenge to Accessing Our Intuition is that there are so many other voices competing for airtime. Usually, they are loud and overconfident, demanding that we not only pay attention, but also follow their strong suggestions. I cannot help but be reminded of th...

Sometimes noise-canceling headphones are not enough. Especially when the asking is loud and clear, it can cut through anything. You see, although 95% of the time Vlad drops the ball directly in front of his chosen candidate for fetch, occasionally he will approach from behind. He always gives his ...

Unfortunately, the situation has risen to an operatic pitch.  It’s become an almost Shakespearean saga of passion, intrigue and revenge, complete with heroes and villains. I’m talking, of course, about the drama around the baseball field and the puppy community. Last Saturday morning a Parks ...

I’m beyond envious of Vlad’s new two-part morning ritual. Every day, he and I usually arrive at the baseball field a little before his friend Moon does. The moment Moon is off leash he runs towards us, waiting for the opportunity to steal whatever ball Vlad has in play. Vlad lets him. Onc...

I’m not sure why I was avoiding it. More often than not, I tend to feel an inordinate amount of pride and joy crossing items off my To Do list. And yet this one task has been there for months, carrying over from week to week. Namely, filling out my personal page for my next college reunion, set in...

I just assumed the phrase was always more or less with us. Yet there actually is an origin story. As I was researching other classic paradoxes for this month’s theme, it turns out that the line “Less is More” first appears in Andrea del Sarto, a poem by Robert Browning about the artist. The poem b...

It’s not just that I find it nearly impossible… It’s also that I’m not sure I entirely agree with the principle. (Some things really are about us, after all). Specifically, I’m referring to the second of Don Miguel Ruiz’ Four Agreements: “Never Take Anything Personally.” (sigh) Liste...

Even though it might tarnish my “victory,” I’ve decided to come clean. On Christmas Day, I played the spiritual board game Transformation with 2 friends. Even though no fetch was involved and he really couldn’t participate directly, Vlad was generally supportive of our 3-hour activity. More import...
