Really, I am not smoking the drapes. “Not knowing” is a good thing. “Not knowing” is powerful. When you don’t know something, you are a blank canvas for new ideas and thoughts that allow you to create. When you don’t know something, it allows new thinking to come in. When you don’t know something, you can be open to wisdom coming to you.

I have been practicing mindfulness for a minimum of five minutes a day for the past twenty years. Talk about a return on investment!! I knew this stuff works when I walked out the other day and noticed my car had been stolen. I didn’t panic or become overwhelmed. I took care of what I needed to care of without a lot of story.

Our beautiful, wonderful magnificent bodies. The thing that carries our head around. I work with my clients to develop their awareness of their body and reveal what is really going on inside. As a business coach, I pay close attention to the body. If we don’t pay attention to the body it will take over, and it will control every situation. First of all, the body wants to live. Period.

April 2nd is my mother’s birthday. It is my wish to honor her, Zen hospice, BJ Miller, and the movie, A Patch of Blue, while also telling a magical story to inspire greater love and acceptance in the world in 1000 words or less. Wish me luck!!! My mother was an amazing woman. She lived by the golden rule: treat everyone the way you want to be treated. She treated everyone she met with kindness and acceptance. It didn’t matter if you were a bag boy at the country club, the store clerk at the pharmacist, a foreign dignitary, or the CEO of a multibillion dollar company, she was kind, generous, and funny to all.

For the past 20 years, I have been called to understand energy and how it relates to our lives. I think it all started when I was in a class with Toby Hecht at the San Francisco Hilton. We were doing a practice of some kind walking around the grand ballroom. At some point Toby would say, "stop and now feel the energy in your feet." I will never forget that moment in my life. It was a moment where time froze and I was alone in this large ballroom with 200 people thinking, "I don’t have a clue what he is saying."
