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. I don’t know if it’s just a New York thing, but everybody and their cousin seems to be offering “breakthrough”, “life changing”, “shake up…

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.

Could you be saying “No” to Joy? Mercury Retro & the Quality of Your Life
Many of us live in a very small room in our lives… and I don’t mean a NYC studio apartment!

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.

Courage ≠ Fearless – Mars, Uranus, Pluto T-Square
There is no Courage without Fear. When I turned 40 I got my driver’s license. It took me three tries to pass the road test. Terrible driver? Not really… terriFIED. Then I went out and bought a Mini Cooper S, yeah the turbo… stick shift. Why am I telling you this? I was terrified to…
Till Next Time Mercury Retro…
So… how’s this Mercury Retrograde been treating ya? Wacky, right? One thing Mercury the teacher likes to do during a retrograde cycle in water is re-introduce you to your former self by bringing back people who shine a light on that old way of being. Mercury was so kind as to resurrect not one but…
