In a previous e-mail I talked about racing Nancy when she was on her bike and always winning when I was younger. I didn’t win because she let me win but because I was that fast and could maintain that speed for quite a while. I am older now and can still crank it up…
“There’s only one problem in today’s world…we’ve polarized the force. We see there’s a positive and a negative side, a light side and a dark side… The problem of making polarities is very simple… polarities clash with each other… and when they come together, they devastate each other.” Dr. Bruce Lipton In this fun video,…
“We have a potential within us, and as we embrace that potential, we begin to think of ourselves very differently, and see the world very differently, and to me, this is where the end of hate begins.” Gregg Braden Do you recognize that being kind to yourself is an act of kindness to others? In…
“Once developing inside our mother, we are receiving postcards from the outside world. These postcards tell us if this world is dangerous or safe… Knowing nothing else, we learn from those messages.”Epidemiologist David Barker (1938-2013) Before we’re born, we’ve begun forming patterns and responses to the outside world via chemical signals from inside the sensory…

When we engage with life this way, we operate from our conscious mind, which keeps us open to enhanced learning and…
In this short video Dr. Bruce Lipton talks about how the function of the mind is to create coherence between what we believe and the reality that we experience. He then goes on to show us the different ways that dis-ease can be created. About 2500 years ago, the Buddhists said that “what we think…
“…If you’re not looking at the shadows, if you’re not looking at what is subconsciously running through the tape in your mind… telling yourself you’re not good enough, you’re not worthy enough, you’re not smart enough, you’re not enough… if you’re not conscious of that, then you end up acting out of that belief system,…
I have noticed lately that if I am unclear or in conflict with myself in any way, that it is more difficult to move forward effectively and/or accomplish things in a timely manner. When I was younger, I had lots of energy to burn, which also meant I had the ability to override or ignore…
Last night on my evening walk, I met two young men. One was in his early twenties and the other was in his late twenties. As we stood in the local historical cemetery talking, both revealed they hadn’t finished high school: a label that had crippled both of them. One said he hadn’t finished high…
