Clarity of Purpose: Don’t Live Life without It

This week I have something special for you — a “Video Blog Article.”  Ann and I had the great pleasure this past Sunday to be interviewed by one of our good friends and coaching colleagues, Charlotte McGinnis.

Article #5 – Sufficiency: The Radical Surprising Truth

It’s been quite a journey as we’ve explored living in a world of sufficiency, to borrow a term from Bucky Fuller and Lynne Twist.

Transcending No with the Big R Game

Many people have a tremendous amount of baggage when it comes to one of the smallest words in the English language — no. It’s mostly a learned behavior. As I’ve watched my daughter growing up, the first few years she didn’t seem to have any problems with rejection. For example, while learning to walk, gravity…

Inspired Out of Bed?

You know your life is on purpose when you’re inspired out of bed in the morning. So, the question is — Are you inspired out of bed in the morning?  When I close my eyes and ponder this I envision Divine Spirit taking a deep inhalation that literally pulls the covers off me and pulls…

Stressed Out? Purposefully & Playfully Pivot through the Holidays

“Deck the halls with boughs of holly– Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. ‘Tis the season to be….stressed and overwhelmed — What? That’s not how the song goes.  Maybe not, but it sure is how the season seems to go for so many folks.
