Living Brave the Daring Way for Men — April 4-5th in Seattle

May Day! May Day!
MAY DAY! MAY DAY! I have 2 spots left for my upcoming Whidbey Island Rising Strong Retreat—and one of them has your name on it! Just because it’s spring and my favorite season, and just because I have 2 spots left for my retreat… I’m gong to extend the early bird...

Hello Spring!
It’s my favorite time of year—a time for new beginnings, for starting over, and for busting out new potentials. The flowers know it, the trees show it, the air is fresh with the scent of movement and change.
I have lots of spring rituals that rev me up and move me forward and charge me into setting some new goals and intentions. They include the usual: a spring detox cleanse, a closet purge, and of course there’s the garden that needs planning and digging and planting. I always try a new exercise routine as well—just to keep my body guessing. And I set a goal to learn something new—this year it’s Mah Jong. An antique set was on my Christmas list and I can’t wait to set it up and try it out.

It is possible to live freely and whole-heartedly ~ with joy, a sense of deep connection, and meaningful purpose. I know that from my own lived experience. And those who decide to walk this path with me are forever changed.

After a 20 year phobia of flying… I flew to Paris!
Do you know what it feels like to struggle with something really hard for what seems like an eternity? Have you given up on something because the battle seemed like... "If it is this hard, something must be wrong about it." I’ve been there. I know what that feels...

Walking Into Our Stories Is the Bravest Thing We’ll Ever Do
According to social scientist Dr. Brené Brown: “Walking into our stories is the bravest thing we will ever do”
But also the most productive vehicle for learning who we are and what we believe in.
“Rumbling with our stories….leads us to a deeper understanding of our thoughts, feelings and behaviors and gives birth to key learnings about our values and our capabilities. It’s where whole-heartedness is cultivated and change begins.”

Let Your Inner Love Shine
It’s February and love is in the air.
I’ve decided to focus on love this month – in my communications and in my thoughts and meditations and inspirations!
Won’t you join me?? Let’s have a LOVE IN!
I had an experience recently during a meditation class I was taking where the leader led us through a guided meditation on love…
