Turning Points and New Beginnings

The imagination is the pioneer of the soul. When all is said and done, the soul asks us to make everything new. To do this, we take one step at a time, be it giant step or baby step, towards an expanded consciousness for ourselves and others. This cis the consciousness that enables us to […] Read more »

A sneak preview of my talk at the Mind Body Spirit Festival this morning: If transitions are the space between one identity and another, one picture of ourselves and another, then turning points happen at the moment that we allow ourselves to let go of the old identity and allow a new identity to find […] Read more »

Two years ago I took up my Now or Never Challenge. I felt I was wasting my time with too little creativity and too much dithering. The world seemed to be leaving me behind as it zoomed on ahead to accommodate young people’s way of living and thinking, and neglected my kind of wisdom and […] Read more »

I admit I’m getting old, or, should I say, I am at an age that I would once have considered old. And that means life feels very precious—time is limited and the magic and surprises not yet discovered may be too many for the time left. So for me, it’s now or never to wake […] Read more »
