“Defensiveness is usually someone silently screaming that they need you to value and respect them in disguise. When you look for deeper meanings behind someone’s pain you can then begin to heal not only yourself, but others.” ~Shannon L. AlderARTArticleWhat is it About Intuition?I find it fascinating that people we perceive as rational are totally using their intuition. What is your experience with intuition? I’d love to hear about it and how it has affected your life?
Everybody knows Albert Einstein, the German-bo
physicist who developed the theory of relativity. As the most influential physicist of the 20th century, we would expect that he is very rational and fact-driven. Yet, he is known for using his intuition and we attribute to him a large number of quotes about intuition and imagination. For example:
- “The only really valuable thing is intuition.”rARTArticleWhat Matters MostHow often have you taken time to identify what truly matters to you - what you are passionate about and would like to explore if you “just could”?

“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.” ~Alexander Graham Bell.
Regarding the title question, the answer in a word is—NOW.

This is a provocative perspective, but a plausible one.ARTArticleWhat Was I Born to Do?This one simple, little question might leave you thinking about the answers for days. It might leave you questioning what your life has been about. For some, this question will lead you down a new path. The question is, “What Was I Born to Do?”
There are many levels to this question.
1. What was I meant to do for a living?

3. What hidden talents do I possess that I have not discovered yet?
4. Am I living in the place where I am supposed to be living in order to serve my life’s purpose?rARTArticleWhat You Don't SeeWe are living, breathing souls; some of us are troubled souls. Some of us feel like we have lost our soul or have made a deal with the devil to try and save it.
Whatever your case may be, offer love and compassion as an extension of one’s self. If you are in a dark place, there is light. There is light and hope and proof that await you. You will find it in the checkout line at the store, at the table next to you at the restaurant, at the baseball game or at a birthday party.ARTArticleWhat You Give to Yourself You Get From OthersEmpowering behaviors and beliefs can seem paradoxical to us because for the most part, what we have been taught is actually contrary to leading a truly confident and empowered life.
What we learn is not only contrary; it's often outright backwards. We think that how we think about ourselves is independent of how others think of us. In fact, we think that what others think about us is more significant than what we think about ourselves.ARTArticleWhat You Think of Me is None of My BusinessYup, that’s what I said.
Do I have your attention?
Alright, let’s talk.
I’m not advocating acting as if no one else in the world matters. What I am saying is how many of your decisions are based on what you think someone else may think or say? Do you follow your dreams or do you worry what someone would think of you? Do you step outside your comfort zone or stop short so people won’t question your actions?
Do you see where I’m heading with this?

Have you had those days? Well, you are not alone.
While we cannot control other people and all situations, we can manage our own emotions and how to deal with things and situations that arise in our lives.
