Otherwise, the money won't stick because until that balance is a... Read Full Story

Get Flash to see this player. We Think by Default Most of the Time… The reason is we are so conditioned to respond and 'react' to what happens in the world around us that many times we are not present when life is actually happening.

I recently got an internal message to start living in my authenticity - no more facades or pretenses, no more trying to please other people by projecting what I think they would like. From here on out, I’m laying it all on the table and being me exactly the way I am, and if people don’t like it too bad. This blog and some other recent work is an expression of that authenticity. Self esteem and authenti... Read Full Story
