Our Bodies Can Heal
What do you get when you mix a success story, a law and an old belief system? If you shake it up real well, you just might come out with a new belief system. The Success Story I was listening in on a teleseminar this week hosted by Dr. Lissa Rankin and her colleague Amy Ahlers. During the call they brought up the story about the first sub-four minute mile ever run. Well, I know my sports history quite well so I knew that this was the story of Roger Bannister who ran the first sub-four minute mile in 1954. So as they told the story, I was only...

Will you have more success by co-operating or by competing? In one of my earlier blogs regarding the concept of Love vs. Fear, I wrote about two comparisons of love and fear being Community vs. Alone, and Cooperation vs. Competition. Thanks to a reader’s comment that reminded me that in that blog, I went on to describe my thoughts regarding the Community vs. Alone concept, but I neglected to elaborate on the Cooperation vs. Competition comparison. So what is competition? In business, a company must defeat or at least outdo the competition in...

Is there something in your life that you are truly passionate about? Maybe it’s singing, dancing, being a life or a business coach, travelling. Maybe it’s being the best mother, or father, or grandparent that you can be. Maybe you want to make a real difference and aspire to change the world. Whatever it is, you find that whenever you’re talking about or doing this thing or things, you literally feel your energy rising. When you talk about it, your voice may rise or speed up, you might even start talking with your hands, the...
read moreThe Wake-Up Call Before the Wake-Up Call
Are You Hitting “Snooze” On Your Alarm Clock? I was conversing with someone this week that commented that a lot of people who are in our age bracket are mindlessly moving through their life wondering if this is how it is supposed to be and wishing for something better. In a bit of a rant she asked “But what is it that’s better and what is the cost? We have gotten comfortably numb in our so called safe modes and what we have created around us. There are shackles of doing the right thing, the expectations of others we have allowed to...
read moreEradicating Dis-ease: A Whisper to a Scream
If I suggested to you that the possibility of eradicating dis-ease from society was a possibility, what would you think? Would you at least consider the possibility? One of my favorite themes about how things happen in the world is that the most amazing discoveries that have ever happened all started with a thought. Think about man’s ability to fly, watching TV, talking on a telephone, listening to a radio, putting a man on the moon. How about playing music on a record player? Scratch that thought, on an 8-track player? Scratch that, on...
read moreWho Are You Without Your Disease?
“Who are you without your disease? What makes you more than just your disease? How have you adapted these aspects of your life so they’re not completely overcome by your illnesses?” I came across this question yesterday on the SomebodyHealMe.com web site, for the “Patients For A Moment” carnival. I just knew I had to respond, so here goes. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 2008. I have had times where I could hardly walk, and with the help of the medical systems, there are times when I live a...
read moreTime to Take the Training Wheels Off?
Are you riding through life with training wheels on? Training wheels are a good thing, a very good thing. They let us try something that would be otherwise difficult, bordering on impossible if we’re not ready. Watching a 3 or 4 year old ride their training wheel enabled bicycle down the street with a great big smile across their face is beautiful to see. The child can’t even imagine the concept of riding their bike any other way. Thank you to the inventor of the training wheel. Then the day comes when it’s time the training...
read moreCall For Help
Do you ever ask for help? Or have you been conditioned to think that asking for help is a sign of weakness? Do you find yourself thinking “I can do it myself” a lot? Guilty! I catch myself doing that all the time. And in the next breath I find myself telling other people that we’re all in this together and we can accomplish so much more by working together. Wtf? If I tell others that it’s okay to ask for help, then why don’t I ask for help? And if you’re not the type to ask for help, might I suggest that you...
read moreWhen Will I Be Good Enough?
Do you ever ask yourself that question? What do you get for an answer? Will you be good enough once you lose 10 pounds? Would you be good enough if you were a little prettier or a little more handsome? Would you be good enough if you were a little smarter? Or if you were a little richer? Or are you good enough now? It seems to me that many people walk around thinking and worrying about what they aren’t and don’t take the time to appreciate themselves for what they are. Are we conditioned to believe that we’re “not quite perfect” and...
read moreConversation With Your “Inner Fiend”
Have you ever had a conversation with your Inner Fiend? In my last blog I asked if you had ever met your Inner Child, the playful part of you that doesn’t have a care in the world and believes all of your dreams can come true. Many of us have forgotten that our Inner Child even exists. In that blog, I suggested that I think our Inner Child is always there, but it just so happens that he has met some other playmates over the years and some of them are a little less playful. They constantly remind him about “reality” and suggest that...
