Recently, I’ve met so many people that are accretive to my life – givers of light, carriers of fire, inside and out. That is why I am living this fabulous life because I’m surrounded by these lightning bugs. I call this group my Sunshine Circle – they are positive, always creative, generous, and their cup runneth over with love and spills into mine. Lucky me! There is another group – I call this group the…
I’ve been looking out windows the last few weeks – in Istanbul, looking at the Bosphorus at 5 AM while eating figs the size of grapefruits. Or looking out the window in Shanghai a couple of weeks later, at skyscraper by decrepit building by modern by ancient but one after another like dominoes ready to rise or fall. Looking out the window in New York at the lights in all of the buildings that were…

But what if the heart wants to dictate its own demands? What if choosing is just as important as receiving? Jim Belushi is down there in the conference room right now singing his heart out – why? He said he is being paid a lot of money. The stars are crowding the Arizona sky. Is somebody paying for that? Things are happening in the world – AOL is moving to NY. Other companies are moving…
Pema Chondron wrote this book and someone recommended it – said it was about learning how to live in difficult times.
I’m here at the ANA conference in Phoenix at the Biltmore – a lovely resort – and I hook up with some long time sources of mine and a new one and before you know it they are taking the prayer sheet out of my pendant and writing wishes for me. The new one asks me, “What about your life now is so great?” and I told him, “This! Meeting people like you. My life…
