I’ve reached that point- where decisions need to be made. In just a few days my website and this page will expire. I am not renewing them.

Goals aren’t for everyone. Sometimes having a system of behaviour allows you place yourself on a great path, without the need for an end destination.

Letting go of these protective instincts isn’t easy. It requires awareness, bravery, and lifelong daily practice. It’s not really something to master, but more a way of being, a conscious choice.

The lemon perspective I bet you’ve had an experience like this. Yesterday, from my kitchen window, I was happy to see my kind neighbour waving her hand to catch my attention. I quickly shuffled to find my shoes and went outside. She was offering me some of the extra lemons she had just picked from her bountiful tree. I...

Is your heart being true to you? Current thinking holds that one’s true self is revealed when we rely on our urges and emotions as a driving force. If you look, this view of the authentic or true self can be found everywhere. “Highly authentic people don’t hide their feeling or pretend they are feeling something they are not....
