Our observations and reflections
When I was in graduate school in Colorado, I had no money. My tuition was paid for and I had a monthly stipend, but that just covered my room and board. If I wanted to go out or spend money on anything extra I had to find a way to earn it. Since I was a full-time student and worked…
The Universe Loves us It is such a comforting thought, yet seems to contradict so much of what we see in the world today. The Universe offers us love and non-judgmental support. It wants us to have the experiences we choose without an opinion of our choices. What is the Universe? The Universe – with a capital U – is…
The other day, we were talking about the power of our beliefs and someone mentioned they’ve found tremendous power in changing their beliefs by imagining they are someone else. They don’t do it all the time, but when they are facing a new or challenging situation they’ve found it really helps. Asking the question, “What would Superman or Wonder Woman…
Why does life seem to be so hard? Why must it be so challenging? We ask questions like these, but we usually ask them when times are most difficult. We rarely ask when we are in the flow and times are good. Beth and I have found it helpful to look back at challenging times. That’s how we’ve come to…
It’s hard to imagine a world or a life without limits. We live in a world of limits. There seems to be only so much time, so much money, and so much love. We are taught to save, conserve and preserve. Whole industries are built around the concept that there is not enough. But that’s not the way the universe…
Many of us live our lives on autopilot. We have our routine and we go about it. The places and faces change, but we do the same things over and over again. We have a comfortable, automatic flow to how we live our lives. If this is you and you’re getting what you want out of life, then more power…
What is “Going with the flow?” The flow is a feeling you get when the next logical thing to do shows up for you. Going with the flow is the opposite of forcing things to happen. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to meet with someone. I had a proposal for them I felt could help their business.…
Are you sometimes afraid to act? Do you freeze when it’s time to put your plans into action? Do you feel you spend too much time in your head? Well, you’re not alone. Many of us spend so much time thinking. We think about what is supposed to happen, what might happen, or what did happen. We think, think, think.…
What is control? Why is it so important to us? Spoiler: It’s overrated. If you hear about someone losing control of their car, the result is usually a crash. That’s not the type of control we’re talking about. We’re talking about the control where you feel you have to have it work out your way. Your way or the highway.…
When you learn to give without expecting anything in return, you can experience abundance without feeling the need to pay. I love this concept. At its core is the concept of balance. All of us have a sense of balance. A sense of what is fair. We become uncomfortable when we see inequality. Our sense of fairness applies to what…
