6 Words You Should Say Today
I recently saw 6 Words You Should Say Today posted on Facebook. I won't lie; when I see a post about an article on Facebook with a sensational title, I usually disregard it. Something inside of me said, "I need to read this." I am so glad that I did. This is a very inspiring and beautifully written article on being a parent, partner, friend, and human being....
Mindfulness for People Who Are Too Busy to Meditate
I am not convinced there are people too busy to meditate. Still, I appreciate the ideas and recommendations offered in this post, Mindfulness for People Who Are Too Busy to Meditate. I firmly believe, through experience, that anyone who meditates on a daily basis will improve their efficiency at work, home, and life, creating more time rather than taking time from their day. If Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, Celebrities, and Athletes have time to meditate, why do you believe that you don't?...
Mindfulness and A “We” Focus
We often hear these days that the current climate in America is that of a "me orientation" versus a "we orientation". We see signs of this throughout our lives regularly. People rarely seem to have time for anyone but themselves and their families, but I think if we dig a little deeper, evidence that many people are living with a focus more on us than me exists.

Making College Campus Safe From Sexual Violence
It is not a new topic or one that makes the news as often as many other forms of violence in our culture, but sexual violence reaches across America with little resistance.

Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Conscious Coupling
Conscious coupling seems to be getting a lot of press these days; celebrities tend to make this sort of thing happen - Madonna at The Kabbalah Centre and Julia Roberts with Hindu are examples of when they speak openly about religion or spirituality. I am not sure why this happens, but it does. I have never seen celebrities as people I wanted to be like, at least not those in the entertainment industry. Growing up, many athletes gave their time to worthy causes that I looked up to for that reason in the 60's and 70's. I have never felt drawn to the fact that "so and so" said something means it is something important or of value. However, it does seem that Richard Gere's My Journey with Buddhism has really committed to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism without making it feel like a publicity stunt. I happened to be participating in the Kalachakra with The Dalai Llama back in 2000 with Richard Gere and other famous people present for the ten days of spiritual training. They all kept a low profile with no autographs or photos, just like everyone else receiving the training....
