There is no secret, getting a daily practice of meditation in place will keep you in conscious contact to the deepest stillness of your being creating the ability to return to your center with greater and greater ease as you move through your day, avoiding the pitfalls of triggers and stress. Meditation is the answer to your peace of mind and well being as you open to deeper presence in your work, life and relationships. In this practice of connecting to yourself you prepare your body, mind and soul for the experience and presence of your life. There is no other way around it. No cheat to this process of slowing down, opening up and expanding the space between your thoughts. Get in a daily routine. Create the moments in the fullness of yourself downloading whatever files, upgrades, information that needs to be integrated to your system. In short. Meditate, meditate, meditate. This is the most rebellious and radical approach to taming your ego and getting detached from your t...

In a twist of Apple fate I got an email that I AM A GREAT MAN was to be in the Apple store the day that Steve Jobs passed away. The universe never ceases to amaze me.

The picture on the cover is that of his son. My nephew. The sweetest, cutest, strongest, smartest brightest young man on the planet who will be celebrating his 4th birthday this coming weekend.

I am honored to have birthed these I AM works. Many people have purchased I AM A GREAT MAN and found its words to be beautiful and inspiring. It is a wonderful reminder that we are all here on the planet to help each ot...

I t mattered not if others understood The deepening of his experience grew To the point he knew The ache was not meant to go away It was a part of his essence It was the ache of the mature open heart Living with the hurts of the instant Working beyond the threshold of gravity Allowing the natural expression of love to flow through him Fully at play Free from any confinement S tretching across time and space So Far Away His beloved felt all of it Sitting on the shore of the lake On which they had spent so much time together She spoke into his dearest heart The part he had gifted her Even though she said “No” to his offer to join him “What I am living Here is very tough for my soul… nothing nice to share and too much negativity… so, I don’t think about it.

Where the difficulties of circumstance continue to grow but who never stop believing a kind word, a ...
