Lesson from the Fiscal Cliff and No Cost Learning Series
As a U.S. citizen, I watched the “fiscal cliff” negotiations with some interest. As usual, the conversation about money was less than nuanced. Some had a hardcore position of all spending cuts, some wanted to lean more heavily into increasing revenue. The truth is a little more powerful: the relationship the U.S., the entire western […]
Shattered… and the Love
I am shattered, overwhelmed by the immense insanity not just of the shooting today in Newtown, Connecticut, but of the 22 previous mass shootings in the U.S. since 2007, including one a few days ago here outside of Portland. And this is one small slice of the violence we humans do to each other globally, […]
Today Is (Sorta) The Deadline
Years ago I worked in newspapers. It’s true that the high school newspaper isn’t the most elevated journalistic experience, but I did also work for my college newspaper which published daily for a population of 30,000. Then, years later, in San Francisco I was managing editor for a nonprofit magazine. All of these publications had […]
Summer Heart of Business Hang-Out
It’s been rainy and cold this Junuary here in Portland. However, that’s no excuse not to have a summer hang out. Besides, the sun has shown herself from time to time the last few weeks. 🙂 The local members of the Heart of Business team, are going to be hanging out at McMennamin’s Kennedy School […]
Meet Yollana Shore
Yollana Shore is another star member of the Heart of Business team. She started out as a client years ago, and was such an enthusiastic, skilled, compassionate, committed member of the community, that when she became available to be a Heart of Business practitioner, I was thrilled. She brings extensive knowledge and experience in spiritual […]
Sovereignty and the Single Business
I’ve been thinking a lot about sovereignty and freedom lately, all arising out of a perfect storm. The emphasis on achieving freedom from many people I respect (and others I don’t) in the business world, colliding with my own struggles with strategic planning, and I knew I needed to dig into this. I was sitting […]
Are You a Writer? Am I Writer?
Recently I’ve spoken with two different people who passionately identified themselves as writers. Each of them were absolutely 100% no doubts crystal clear that that was their calling on this Earth, and that writing was a gift to them. I love to write, and I would call myself a writer because I do a fair […]
Video Challenge Day Nine- The Wrap-Up
Wow… what a night. But I got it done. I think this is the best one yet- mostly because of who joined me. (If you’re wondering what this is about, check out Day One.) Enjoy! And thank you everyone for your support and love. I’d write a little more but… well, just watch it and […]
Money Worries Get You Up at Night?
I know, a lot has been happening here recently. The article Wednesday, and then I just released “Backwards: Why Common Abundance Manifestation Approaches Are Sabotaging Your Success.” And now this one, announcing a no-cost teleclass next week. With the Heart of Money Transformational Journey coming up there is a flurry. It will all die down […]
“In Writing” or “In Business”?
There’s a long, slow, ranty back-and-forth conversation happening around various blogs, and it has to do with earning a living. The basic issue is that many people love to write and want to be writers, and so they start a blog. And they also want to make a living at it, basically because it’s easier […]
