Hi everyone, I’m very excited to announce the first ever Life, Lessons, & Laughter Rejuvenation Retreat! The retreat will be taking place this summer (2019), July 14th through the 20th in tropical Santa Catalina, Panama! I was approached by my friend Michelle...

Go with the flow dude! Lol, there’s truth to it for sure! Very early on in my spiritual walk I had a vision of myself standing in a river with water up to my stomach while holding a trash can lid in each hand. I was standing there leaning into the current trying to...

One thing people do too much of is putting pressure on themselves…this is NOT about that! Doing your best is often misunderstood and therefore induces a lot of unneeded pressure and stress. Consciously or subconsciously most people have an idea of what they are...

Accountability is something that’s necessary in life. It’s different than blame, justice or punishments. It’s simply based on Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Of course, this was originally meant to explain a pair...

Most of you reading this are aware of energy vampires, even if you’ve never heard the term before. You know those peeps, the ones that you feel drained after interacting with…that’s them! The reason you feel drained is because they’re literally feeding off your...

Fear can come up in many different ways and take on many different looks…but at the end of the day it’s all merely an illusion. I say this because we’ve all walked through some sort of fear in life and once we’re on the other side and look back, we notice it’s not...

Let’s talk a little bit about who we surround ourselves with. The people we share our time with says a lot about us as well as how we feel about ourselves. It can also have an affect on our spiritual growth and where we’re going. People with high levels of self-esteem...

Okay here we go with the deep stuff! LOL. The meaning of life sounds so big! Well I guess it kinda is.The meaning of life is, of course subject to interpretation and can be different for different people simply because we connect to information in different ways....

Millennials are a very big topic right now because of their entry into the workforce as well as their sheer numbers. As with many areas there seems to be a lot of finger pointing as to what’s wrong with them and how previous generations were “better”. Every generation...

Being a leader can take many different looks. It can be in business, parenting, friendships, family, sports, etc. Often times people are chosen to be leaders because of their ability to perform a task. Although this is a nice idea, often one doesn’t have much to do...

When we work on ourselves and begin to grow, it’s natural for dynamics to shift with those around us. From our perspective we’re learning to be happier, more loving and better versions of ourselves therefore it makes sense that everyone would embrace this and be happy...

This is something we can all experience during our walk on the spiritual path. Each path is different and sometimes people wake up dramatically at first, then taking time to understand and assimilate. More often people awaken gradually and assimilate along the way. No...

Traveling can do one of two things…help you enter the present moment or make you really uncomfortable. Of course this is completely up to us once we understand how it works. Like everything else, we are not victims of our circumstances so we can shift how we interact...

Thoughts and prayers are a wonderful way to connect with a power greater than ourselves and to infuse positive energy into situations. Everything is energy including our thoughts…they’ve even been able to measure a thought as a unit of energy in quantum physics. There...

Shame is a powerful and low-level vibration. It can incite another dangerous low-level vibration called depression. I believe Brene’ Brown said it best after her in-depth research saying that guilt is when you feel you did something wrong and shame is when you feel...

This is a question I get asked often: how do I raise my self-esteem? The simple answer is: do esteem- able things! Thank you, this blog is done. The rest are knock knock jokes, lol. I guess I can get into a little more detail. Self-esteem is defined as: confidence in...

This topic can be approached from many different angles. In this blog, I’ll be approaching it from the arguments over issues angle. A good example of this are political debates that seem to be ongoing and never-ending. When it comes to arguing issues people can be...

Who doesn’t want clarity??? We all do of course. Everyone would like to be clear on who they are, where they’re going, what decision is best for them, etc. So, how do we achieve it? That’s what I’m diving into today… The largest block in the way of clarity is...

There are times in our lives when it’s simply time to move on, but how do we know when it’s right? This is a common topic in my work as a Life Coach. People are growing, expanding, and becoming more of themselves so the time to move on and let go of things that no...

So let’s chat about teenagers for a bit. This age is historically difficult and now that we’re in the middle of a spiritual shift, the difficulty has taken on a specific look. Kids in general are coming into this world much more spiritually open, more sensitive, they...

It’s been said that all of human kind’s problems derive from one thing: separation from Source. It’s also been said famously by Blaise Pascal: “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” If we are disconnected...

We’ve all had the experiences of feeling jealousy and envy in one form or another. May it be in a relationship, with a friend, family member or a stranger – it’s a common energy that people experience. Left unattended this energy can be extremely detrimental and even...

Children are wonderful examples of many spiritual things because they haven’t been conditioned by society to forget them all yet. Children have no concept of time; they live perpetually in the moment. This in itself is a major enhancement to life. Of course we need...

We are responsible for our own lives. Therefore, it is our responsibility to be disciplined enough to live in a functional, well-balanced way, no one else’s. I certainly lived my share of dysfunctional years so when I shifted at age 35, I needed to learn an entire new...

In this fast-paced society multi-tasking is often a way of life. Most people do it regularly and wear it like a badge of honor as if it were something to be proud of. Of course, there are some jobs and some times in life that multi-tasking is required, I won’t be...

Old wounds can come in many shapes and sizes. Not all of the specifics can be covered in a blog so I’ll throw some things out there to at least give you a basic understanding. One of the common occurrences is that people do the work on an old wound and then it comes...

Here’s a regular practice that is very misunderstood. It has become commonplace for people to decide to “let things go” or “let go and let God”. This is a wonderful idea however it needs to be understood and done properly. When something happens in our lives that we...

So, you’ve accomplished some wonderful things in your life and arrived at a place you’ve been walking towards. Perhaps you started a business, bought a house, started a family, changed careers, etc., etc., so now what? Most likely it’s time to level-up. Where you are...

The majority of people in the world are experiencing a level of uncomfortability that is undeniable. Most people are unsatisfied with their lives and searching for answers. Many are suppressing this uncomfortability with alcohol, legal and illegal drugs, shopping,...

Perfectionism is more common than we may think. Of course, we see it in obvious ways such as extreme pressure to complete a task perfectly, getting perfect grades, going above and beyond in work situations and countless OCD behaviors. There are also more covert ways...

In my previous blog entitled: Perfectionism and The Need to Be Right, I discussed how there is an unconscious and unhealthy need to be right in the world. This is causing much controversy and keeping existing problems flourishing without the hope of solution. As long...

Non-movement = depression. This is a simple formula that holds much insight and Truth. You see depression is a form of hopelessness. When you feel hopeless about things getting better is when depression comes. The mind has to support the diagnosis of hopelessness by...

Have you ever stopped to think about our ability to judge things?  Of course everyone feels they're making sound judgments most of the time however what information are we using to make these judgments and do they actually benefit us? In most cases we simply don't...

Everything begins with something small – a seed, often times a seed of hope. I remember back almost 20 years ago now when I began to do the work that led to my awakenings. There was someone talking like he knew what it was like to be down, out and completely hopeless...

Let’s face it, in this world there is pressure to be things we’re not as well as an innate desire to fit in and be accepted.  It’s no wonder we can have difficulty being who we truly are and embracing the uniqueness of ourselves and others.  So yes it can be difficult...

Most people have expectations about everything and more often than not, they’re unrealistic.  The expectations are usually unconscious and not well thought out creating an environment where getting let down, and feeling upset happens often and being completely crushed...

I was taught by my Father - if you want to get to the Truth…simplify, if you want to get further from the Truth…complicate. In the spirit of this, here’s a simple way to view and deal with the problems in your life.            1. Identify the problem - get clear on...

Guilt can be a like an anchor holding us down to the past.  The first thing we need to understand is that the only thing helpful about the past is using it as a learning tool.  If we use the past to hold ourselves back from moving forward it’s just a huge hindrance. ...

Many times in life we are living from a reactionary state instead of a conscious state.  When someone asks a question, we unconsciously feel we must answer them immediately or when something happens, we react immediately.  Most times this is not necessary and leads to...

When you’re looking for your path, don’t look in front of you – it’s not there.  It’s not there because you haven’t been there yet.  We cannot lay out exactly how things are going unfold in the future and many times people use this as a way to stay stuck.  I often...

When looking at the state of affairs around us, many people are wondering what we can do to change things.  To answer this, we can look at what was meant by Gandhi when he said: “Be the change you wish to see in the world”.  This phrase means more than just to work on...

Something many people have difficulty with is taking care of themselves, making themselves a priority.  I saw it regularly when I was a personal trainer and even more in people’s personal and spiritual lives. Think about this for a minute: how do you take care of...

How many times do you feel stressed about doing what you’re doing or stressed about getting it done so you can have time to go do something else? The fact is the stress you’re inducing has no usefulness and it actually slows your efforts down. You are very capable of...

Silence is around every noise, underneath every sound and waiting at the end of every echo.  Speaking from a mental construct, you can say that silence is what "isn't" as opposed to what "is".  In life our attention is drawn to what is; what stands out, but what is...
