A New Year, A New Inquiry
A New Year, A New Resolve, A New Inquiry…
My inquiry this morning offers 3 questions:
What does life want from me?
What does the world want from me?
What is the most meaningful evolutionary step can I take in this moment?
What’s In A Word?
At the beginning of 2016 one of my mentors encouraged me to choose one word for the year, one word to guide me along the path, one word as a beacon to light the way.
True to form, I struggled with overcomplicating the task at hand and with my ever-present nemesis, indecision.
So, of course, I ended up with TWO words for the year: Simplicity and Action.
So Why Is The Buddha Laughing?
People ask me if Spirituality needs to be so serious. Are you kidding me? The Buddha was known for his joy, his laughter, his smile, and his big Buddha belly (which in the culture at the time was a symbol of abundance on all levels and especially generosity of Spirit!!!).
In Sanskrit, the term LILA, or LEELA, describes the entire Universe as a Cosmic playground.
And as Shakespeare famously said, “All the world ‘s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

The Mind: Your Best Friend Or Your Worst Enemy?
The Mind… The Mind… The beautiful, terrifying Mind…
You know that experience when the mind is racing, out of control, dragging you along like a dog on a leash?
That’s your “Monkey Mind”. Yes, your Monkey Mind. And we all have it.
It’s the reptilian part of the brain, and it’s hard-wired for survival. It’s looking for the worst case scenario around every corner. And it’s FULL OF FEAR!!!!!
