Secret “2-Minute” Rule to Improve Decision Making
Okay, I admit it! My best friend and my own husband, try to avoid doing grocery shopping with me. No, I don’t spend tons of money. I don’t randomly buy things I don’t need and I always stick with the list. So why would they roll their eyes every time I suggest doing grocery shopping together? The reason lies, mostly, in the fact that I don’t just randomly throw the first tomato sauce that happened to be placed on my eye level. And I don’t buy a suspiciously-looking jar of jam (as my husband suggests), only because it’s on sale. I read labels. I pay attention…

Fireworks and Finishing with a Bang
While watching a fireworks show with my family on July 4th it occurred to me that all great fireworks shows end the same way… with a bang. They save the best and most spectacular displays for their grand finale. You can’t help but clap at the end. Now compare a fireworks show to many lectures, sales presentations and customer service experiences. They often start off strong but instead of ending with a bang, they fizzle. The sales presentation that has a great hook in the beginning but doesn’t …
A new framework
“Quit fooling yourself into thinking money isn’t spiritual….” – Joe Vitale When you choose to see money as one more evidence of abundance, you can make peace with the inner conflicts about greed, and poverty, and abstinence from worldly pleasures.

Man has developed consciousness slowly and laboriously, in a process that took untold ages to reach the civilized state…And this evolution is far from complete, for large areas of the human mind are still shrouded in darkness.

One Word That Will Improve Your School This Year
There’s a better way than numbers and goals to energize your school and teachers. All it takes is just One Word! Every August principals and teachers gather to discuss their plans and goals for the upcoming year. Expectations and goals are passionately shared by principals and written down by educators with anticipation and excitement. It’s an experience filled with energy, hope and optimism. The problem is that by October the positive energy and optimism felt in August has given way to the tests and challenges of reality. And the goals and expectations that were shared and written down with such passion and enthusiasm are likely in the garbage can, in a binder on the shelf, or ignored on the laptop. Three years ago I discovered a better …

The Timeless Witness
The timeless witness or watcher is that space of clarity and oneness that reside in all of us. I often describe it like falling backwards out of myself and into everything so that even the original ego, "I," is not excluded, although initially there is this quality of separation that I feel. Through that initial separation, you may feel the claws of fear trying to hold you into your ego identity, and they may come at…

Quotes of Wisdom: Theodore Roszak on the Human Psyche
The id is that very protohuman psychic core that our evolution has spent millions of years molding to fit the planetary environment.
