My Gift from Don Miguel Ruiz

Don Miguel Ruiz, A Remarkable Man To summarize a two hour lecture on Life, Death, Matter, and Energy is not easy.  So I won’t.  What I will share are highlights and insights I learned from listening to don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, speak in Austin, TX this past weekend. In the traditional storyteller fashion, this man: teacher, author, and apparent to anyone experiencing his presence, a very gentle spirit, wove a beautiful story.  A story of his Truths.  So soft spoken, at times he was barely audible, silence permeating the backdrop of his words.  There was respect Continue reading >>

Where is Home? What is Home??

Dec 262011
 

We’ve seen plaques in friends’ homes, maybe even hanging in some of your homes: Home is Where Your Heart Is Home is Where You Hang Your Hat Have you ever considered Winter being the time for home?  Dame Edith Sitwell wrote: “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”   Being smack dab in the middle of the holidays, surrounded by family spanning in age from 2-98 and friends ranging from sane to mildly crazy-fun and everything Continue reading >>

Small to Large

Nov 302011
 

In Monday’s article, “Letting Go, A Practical Application,” I shared my thoughts on exactly that:  How we go about Letting Go and Trusting. I provided examples of small Let Go’s and large Let Go’s, acknowledging the vast spectrum that exists.   I walked through a real example of something I wanted to Let Go of regarding the upcoming holiday season.  After finishing the example, I concluded with: “The more we adapt our mode of thinking and the actions that follow to Let Go and Trust Life on the small stuff, the more we practice on a daily basis, the better prepared Continue reading >>

Grow Forward

Nov 162011
 

You’ve heard people say, “I’m moving forward with my life.”  Or, “Let’s go forward with this project.”  People run forward at times.  They even stumble forward, sometimes in what appears to be the dark. Move, go, run, stumble, crawl, there are many ways to expend your energy in a forward direction. But how about growing forward?  Similar to how a flower grows with the proper soil, adequate water, and ample sunlight, we experience human growth.  Our human growth takes factors such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and yes, even love we receive into account. That’s one type of growth, human growth.  Continue reading >>
