Are You an “Epiphany” Junkie?

Warning: This post may piss you off…If one more person tells me that their event will “change my life forever” I may have to hit them with an overripe banana.

Gratitude on Thanksgiving

Play Podcast (Originally Posted: 11/30/10; Revised: 11/28/13) As we enter the Holiday Season, I notice people’s mindsets tend to line up along a continuum: one extreme experiences the joy of the season, while the other wants it to be over as quickly as possible.

Wearing Blinders? Redefining “Success” during Mercury Retrograde

Your Ticket Out of “Crappy-Land” – Get Through a Bad Day

“What we resist, persists.” — Carl Jung Circumstances, real or imagined, can send us on a downward spiral.

The Success Zone

“Success” is a mysterious land for many of us. For some it’s like Shangri-La; a mystical place where everything is beautiful and always just out of reach. For others, “Success” is a “Twilight Zone”, even more frightening than failure, because it is pregnant with possibilities and potentially dashed expectations. In either case, our vision of…

Your Hero’s Journey – Take the Next Step with Your Sun Sign

It’s ironic, really… while many of us read about our “Sun Signs” in the daily Horoscope, we don’t know what to do with this information.
