Some of us, as leaders, go through a series of purpose-expressions, a series of careers, as we grow, learn and become more and more of who we are meant to be. Others find one avenue immediately after high school or college and stay with that one expression of their vision throughout much of their life. Whichever path you follow is yours, not right or wrong, just yours..
The one core truth we learn, however, is that whatever path we choose, there will be a continuous series of opportunities for growth or stagnation. For living our truth or being in self-betrayal. Choosing leadership, consciously or otherwise, requires that we be ready to grow in order to deal with all the challenges, opportunities, and expansions that happen as our vision takes on a life of its own. That choosing can support compassion, understanding, and a greater leadership skill as those around us go through their process as well.
As leaders, we are challenged at times to decide if we are ready or even want to grow to that next level, to lead at that level, to become even more of who we are.
If you are human, you will at times want to stop, to breath, to reconsider your choices. That is never a failing, or a weakness, rather it is an amazing gift you give yourself. When you have grown significantly, or when it is time to grow significantly, stopping to catch up with yourself, to integrate all that is happening, is a smart and solid way of strengthening your foundation, your connection to your Spirit, to your purpose, and to you.
Use these articles as a means to do that.
After several days of heavy rain, the weather this weekend was gorgeous. In spite of that I realized, yet again, another tendency I have to simply look at the gorgeous weather out of my windows, relishing the view of the Connecticut River with all the sail boats going down the river and the speedboats flying up the river while I…
With the exquisite weather we have here in the northeast today, what a gift it is to have an extra day to be able to take a moment to breathe from all the labor involved in cleaning, laundry, ironing, making beds, shopping, and preparing for the upcoming work week. Labor, I must admit, that nonetheless fills me with a great…

We have all learned how to do relationships from our parents – the good aspects and the not-so-good. Being conscious of what you learned allows you to decide what…
As summer disappears and a new season begins, it is time for a new reflection on your year so far. Did you make a vision board in January? Did you set in a journal your plans for the year? How close are you to achieving what you hoped or planned to achieve this year? There’s a big difference you know…
With everything that is happening in the economy, with the war in Afghanistan, and with so many uncertainties as to when things will turn around, it is a real confusing…
Ethics is a topic that could be discounted as simply being a “given” whether we are living our personal journey all alone for the day, in a work relationship, or a personal relationship. In truth, however, it is never a “given.” It is, however, an essential part of our life experience and one of the basic factors in defining the flow of our energy field. As a result, it deserves a full length discussion. To support that end, I shall write a few thoughts.
There are many perspectives and approaches to dealing with disease and disorder; the REAL challenge, is in learning to understand the origin. What causes disease? Is there a spiritual purpose and does it connect to one’s essence or one’s personality? What predisposes one person versus another to be susceptible to a particular disorder? Is it simply genetics or is there…
I have been in the field of mental health for over two decades and to this day I am still excited and intrigued by the way people think and how they respond…
An exciting and awe inspiring modality of health care that has been practiced for thousands of years in other parts of the world, energy is only now becoming, albeit gradually, a known reality in this country. What is happening also, and perhaps what is supporting this awakening, is that the field is becoming progressively more diverse. Energy as an accepted…
