Have you ever been in a situation where you felt like you were being “attacked” based on what you believe?  I recently had someone try to strongly convince me how right they were about spirituality and how wrong I was!  In these very stressful situations when we are under fire, it’s best to remember that being right is not always the right thing to be.  I’ve written a few quick thoughts regarding the spiritual journey that can help all of us remember that we will not always see eye-to-eye on every spiritual issue — and that’s okay!

Two people can be on the same spiritual journey, but be at two separate places along the journey.  Neither place is [Read More...]

I’m working on loads of great stuff this weekend, but still taking some time to relax, renew, and re-energize!  As I’ve been working, I thought about a really great lesson I learned years ago.  It’s some really sage advice from a friend of mine I was talking with one day about people who always think that the “grass is greener on the other side.”  His theory is great:  “If you think the grass is greener on the other side, try watering your lawn.”  Simple and well stated. Brilliant stuff!

Many of us spend hours every day enriching our minds via the work we do.  Then we often spend a great deal of time enriching our bodies by exercising and closely watching our diets.  Sometimes, however, we forget to take time (or make the time) to nourish and enrich the soul … the spirit – which is at least equally if not immensely more important.  Remember, it’s Mind … Body … and SPIRIT.

Be well,

Although I’m a huge advocate of medication-free strategies, I’m not 100% anti-medication.  Some medications [Read More...]
