You Are Already Enough
It's common to believe that, in order to be enough, we have to keep doing more. The truth is that you are already enough, just as you are - without any doing. Let go of your attachment to the idea of "you" and be your True Self! Often, when I wake up, I start thinking...
Allowing the Good: Open to the Flow of the Universe
Just as we allow the rain to fall on the earth and nurture the land, we can allow the good to rain down on us from the Universe without effort.
We have entered the rainy season – at last – here in drought-stricken Northern California. We had our first good rain a few days ago and I was filled with gratitude. I opened my arms wide and let in the sweet droplets of life-sustaining water.
It caused me to reflect on the process of allowing. I’ve written about receiving in my blog, but allowing, although similar, addresses the idea of receiving in a different way. Allowing has many powerful meanings that can open us to the Divine Flow of the Universe.
Change Yourself Without Judging Yourself
Do you struggle with self-judgment? You’re not alone. It’s a fallacy to believe that you have to judge yourself in order to change. Here’s a more gentle and transformative way.
Every one of us has habits that we’d like to change. On the path of personal growth and awakening, this is especially true of our mental habits.

Autumn – A Time of Reflection
It’s October, and we're arrived at the fall season; the time of depth, release, and going within. The leaves are turning and it’s a time of letting go - but it’s also the perfect season for reflection. Fall brings up memories. We even see this represented by the...
To Do More, You Need to “Be” More
In order to do more in your life, you need to fill yourself abundantly by “being” more. Here’s how.
Most of my adult life, I have had a compulsion to do. It’s this nagging feeling that I’m not doing enough and need to keep doing more. Then I tend to overcommit myself, get overwhelmed, and have to clear the plate again to find my balance.
I’ve worked on the roots of this issue for some time. I have embraced doing less and enjoy that! My sense of self is less defined by doing, and more by who I truly am.
But what about when I actually want to do more – not just the compulsive fear of not being enough driving me, but a deep inspiration and desire to share more with the world? How do I make sure I don’t overcommit and spin myself into that excessively-busy, overscheduled and burned out experience?
