Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge ~ Plato ~ I recently read an article in an old issue of “O” magazine called “Getting Unstuck” by Suzy Welch. One particular statement had me nodding my head like a bobbin head doll. Suzy and her husband were doing a survey for a book and one question they asked concerned the biggest challenges people face in their work. She said they were surprised to discover how many people wanted “passionately to know whether or not they were in the right place in the first place”. Gotta tell ya…my

Think Like a Hippie – Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out!
My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out. ~ Timothy Leary This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love and Woodstock.

How Do You Find or Create Your Self Expressed Work?
“Of all the questions I have asked my readers this is the most important: What would you do if you weren’t afraid? When you finally give wings to that answer then you have found your life’s purpose.” ~ Shannon L. Alder I believe the path to self expressed work that aligns with your life purpose is rooted in what you love. Here is an example from a story I read recently about a female executive who took a sabbatical from her high powered, high pressure job to create a pergola garden. She wasn’t very far into her sabbatical before she realized she no
