Have you ever had a friend who had a terrible day–they lost their job, their car was broken into, their dog peed on the new carpet–but they didn’t tell the story the way you might expect? Instead of talking about their terrible day, they talk about the exciting opportunity to take a new direction in […]
A Law of Attraction for Grown Ups
The Law of Attraction, in it’s essence, is very simple and almost irrefutable: That which we place our attention on, to a great degree, determines our experience. So, if I spend a lot of time worrying about whether I will be penniless and homeless, well, then, my life will probably be an expression, somehow, of […]
When We’ve Outgrown Our Shoes, But We Keep Shoving Our Foot In There Anyway (Ouch!)
Have you ever noticed that most kids never stop growing?

His parents, Alfonso and Angelica Malpica are leaders in constellation work in Mexico, and they are the primary organizers […]
No Need to Fake Authority…
If you’ve ever been in a business growth program before, you’ve eventually heard about how important it is to “position” yourself: to explain to people why they should come to you and not to someone else for the service they are looking for. But this isn’t just limited to people in business, not by any […]
That Awful Feeling When You Know You Need to Get Into Action to Have Something You Want, But You Can’t Do It…
Working with clients who have business practices, I’ve noticed many people on one end or another of a spectrum. On one end of the spectrum are people who are essentially workaholics–they can never work enough, they don’t take a break, and something is out of balance. If that’s you, I am sorry. I think the […]
