Creating and Running Your Business

All creation comes from a place of either inspiration or desperation. This is no different for business, life creation, health and wellness, relationships, or spirituality. To be totally honest, I believe that your ability to run a business – any business – directly correlates to your ability to create and maintain any type of relationship, […]

Your Anger and Rage

I want to feel and experience your anger and rage fully. That is how I get to completely and utterly connect with you. I want to get down in the dirt and muck with you, rolling and wallowing around in it, to fully understand where you are. That anger and rage is your passion – […]

Gurus

Through the years I have met many who put themselves on pedestals, as if they know more than others.
