Drug Abuse In America – How does it really effect us?
DRUGS ABUSE. It sounds bad, doesn’t it? It is bad. It ruins people, it ruins lives, it kills. Did you know that drug abuse can start with children as young as those in elementary school grades? Sad to say it can. Today’s youth face many risks, including drug abuse, violence, and HIV/AIDS. Responding to these risks before they become problems can be difficult. But by seeing these problems early on and responding to them with care, proper help and understanding, we can do what is needed to help those heading down the destructive path that will only lead to worse outcomes. Drug abuse has serious consequences in our homes, schools, and communities. Researchers [like the NIDA- National …

The Return Home
The return home amidst spiritual awakening or generally for anyone on the spiritual path can be metaphorical as well as quite literal. I've seen it cut both ways depending on the help, support, and inner healing someone requires. In essence, the idea is that you are returning to the beginning. You are going down to the root causes of your social programming and finding the things that do not align with love and truth and beauty. You are going here because there's no way to build any kind of a new home for yourself if the foundation is still full of…

Hotel California – how The Eagles defined innovation
I recall a few years back, an online friend whose opinion I usually respect and who has a fondness for nostalgia, referred to Hotel California as the least innovative album ever (I think he used stronger words). This totally shocked me at the time. Just recently the Eagles came to town with their latest show, and of course all the radio stations played Eagles music for several days and there were reviews of the concert on the airwaves for a couple days after (and in the newspapers, too). The reports …

Sharing Your Joy Properly
The title of this spiritual post may seem a little odd to you. I mean, "How does one not share joy properly?"

Why Can Reasoning Hurt Your Decision-Making?
Quick – what’s more important intuition or logic? You gut feeling says: intuition. But when you start thinking about it, your mind will tell you that logic is more reliable and makes more sense – because it’s logical. It’s great when your mind and your heart are aligned, but what happens when they point in the opposite directions? Can rationalizing actually hurt our intuition and push us into making wrong choices? It turns out yes! And it happens more often than you think. In one recent study a group of students was offered 5 posters to…

Spiritual Webinar: Distinguishing Self-Love from Selfish Love
My next webinar will be about understanding what is self-love versus selfish love. Because true self-love is often unacknowledged in society, many people have no real idea what it is. There are plenty of juvenile ideas about what self-love is, but this is way more than occasionally giving yourself a vacation to a tropical island or taking a bubble bath.True self-love becomes the unshakable foundation from which we lead lives of loving service. It cannot be taken away from us; we can only ignore that space within us.If you'
