We're going to have a "google hangout" this Saturday at 10am Pacific Time. That's 11am Mountain Time, 12pm Central Time, 1pm Eastern Time, and 2pm Atlantic Time. I'm hoping those in other countries will be able to join us as well… from the UK to South Africa to...
taking back my suffering to let it go
It is important and necessary to take ownership for whatever suffering I have experienced. It empowers me to recognize and own my participation, however small, in the things I've suffered. Even if it's a fraction of a percentage point, at least it gives me the power...
coming out in public
I witnessed something really amazing last night. First of all, I am at an event my son Joshua puts on called "Breakthrough Mastery". His goal is to be the next Tony Robbins. At 25 years old, he's well on his way. This was a very intense course with 30 people working...

turning a nightmare into a fairy-tale
I love this happy verse: I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow (Jeremiah 31:13). Let's put another spin on it: the things that used to make us sad or mad can now make us glad. That is, what used to hurt then makes...
upgrade on a train that has left the station
