This summer has been BEYOND busy for me. I've joined the board of directors of a wonderful nonprofit. The work is tremendous and totally worth it. But, it has kept me from updating this site. I make no promises of future updates at this point, simply because I'm focused on doing some good in the world. ...

Interestingly, there is a lot of talk about the "Laws". The Law of Attraction. The Law of Sacrifice. The Law Reciprocity. Blah Blah Blah.
Okay. So we already know that the universe operates around laws, some we know and some we don't. And in pretty much every case, we don't know everything about how they work ...

My friends and I like to gather for lunch every now and then and have a contest to see who receives more junk email everyday. It's definitely not a contest someone sets out wanting to win, and when you realize that you have more junk email, it can be a badge of honor--until you realize ...

The Secret, outlining all of the intricacies of the Law of Attraction, among other spiritual laws, continues to be among the top-selling books in the world. But The Secret is fundamentally flawed. And I'll tell you why. And I won't charge hundreds of dollars for the companion workbook, DVD set, or place you on any ...

I wrote about Ho'oponopono (the ancient--and modern--Hawaiian way to create "balance" in your life) briefly a couple of days ago and I received several emails asking to explain the process a little more, specifically the "why" of the process. First, a quick recap of the four steps:

What is the ultimate secret to moving your life forward? The short answer is to stop trying to move. Instead, according to Joe Vitale, author of Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More, the answer is to clean. Clean. Clean. Clean.
It seems we are always trying to "do" or "be" or "act" ...

At the beginning of the year, I searched for a productivity tool to help eliminate the piles of receipts, stuffed into envelopes, shoved into drawers, bulging out of files, hidden in my wallet and pockets...... I've tried several different methods:

Dear Chase,
It is with great sadness that I am forced to write you this letter. I enjoyed our relationship together for the past year. But, you see, since you took the TARP money from the taxpayers of the United States to go on a bank-buying spree, you've become so abusive to me that I began ...

You probably remember my earlier post about setting goals and resolutions for the New Year, and I thought I would give you a quick update on some things.
