I feel like I'm emerging from one of my caterpillar/larva/pupa/chrysalis/butterfly cycles.  I've been diving so deep inside myself over the past several weeks that each time I've tried to sit down and write the words have come out stilted and seem unfamiliar in print. I love these 'fertile void' periods.  They have been a part of my process as long as I can remember, although I still have to resist the temptation to beat myself up for not writing, or being more productive in other ways.  I know that whatever is working inside me will produce results if I am patient enough to wait for it. Waiting is something I've been learning about during this time.  Being able to wait requires patience, and patience requires being able to accept wh...

This week has provided me with a few challenges.  I lost months of work in one fell swoop when my computer crashed. Having not backed up my system this meant that I lost all of my music, videos, photos, products, e-books and documents. This constituted several thousand hours of work and memories saved onto my hard drive. Apart from the loss of my work came the added expense of replacing my computer.

They have equal importance because it is what is up for us right now. In this series of blogs about being a Life Entrepreneur, I have been sharing my inner thoughts about my life and what I see around me. I keep talking about listening to the inner voice each of us has--paying attention to it above all else. John Demartini says when the voice on the inside i...

We all have issues! Don't we?Just when I am sitting down to my computer to look up some ideas for solutions to my latest problem in life, I check my facebook for some inspiration and find that everyone else has some issue they are experiencing too. On the surface, their lives often look so much better than mine, and they seem so much more balanced than I am. But when you start talking about it, the skeletons come out of the closet and QUICK! I guess struggle is one of those certainties in life that we can just count on and that we can ALWAYS enjoy complaining about when invited! Sometimes we even like to get into a good game of "who has it worse?" One-upping each other on our life's struggles, obstacles, and fears. Who real...
