While waiting for a friend in the arrival area of the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX, I noticed a young Korean woman pulling a large cart of luggage. As she passed customs, she found an empty seat right across from me.
Just before she was about to sit, she pulled out from one of her [...]

While stopped at a traffic light at a busy intersection in the city of Los Angeles on a late Saturday night, a young bearded man wearing a blue flannel shirt walked between the stopped cars holding a sign that read, “Please help me.” Walking up to the right side of my car, I rolled [...]

While having tea with a friend on her garden patio, her playful and loving orange and black tabby cat, Tig, jumped up onto the table, gently placed a lifeless little field mouse in front of me and jumped back off.
Shocked, I gasped.
My friend’s reaction was quite the opposite. She simply smiled and commented, “Awe, look. [...]

While assisting a local preschool program for children in an economically challenged area, I had the rare opportunity to see through eyes of a child that had so little but saw so much.
It happened on their lunch break. That day, I was in charge of handing out small, brown-bag lunches to ensure they would each [...]

Within all of us lies something quite magical, loving and uniquely our own, we need merely to awaken it!
About five years ago, I picked up a magazine featuring a series of articles on some of the world’s most creative minds. Just as I was finishing the last article, it occurred to me. All [...]

If I were to ask you to finish the statement, “The grass is always greener,” you would mostly likely answer “on the other side of the fence.” Am I right?
Now, how did I know that? Could it be that I, like you, have accepted this seemingly harmless idiom as true, made it [...]

“You were whole all along
How could you be not?
You are nothing but love.
You just simply forgot.”*
At the moment you arrived into this world, you were whole. So much so, you had to expel fluid from your lungs just to take your first breath.
You were whole. Take a moment and let that [...]

Once upon a present moment, an old queen looked into her mirror and asked, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, whose the fairest of them all?”
The mirror answered back, “I am the fairest, reflecting only what I see.”
Enraged by the mirror’s answer she exclaimed, “That’s not what I meant. Who is [...]

While waiting in line at a local coffee shop, I overheard the young woman in front of me order “a medium coffee with room for cream.” The barista, not listening, quickly handed her a medium coffee filled to the rim.
Seeing the full cup, she replied, “Excuse me, but I asked for room for [...]

The expression Carpe Diem, “seize the day”, has always held wonderful connotations for me. I love the intention. Just saying it aloud makes my heart beat a bit faster. But more often than not, the idea of seizing a whole day leaves me a bit overwhelmed.
So, to remedy this situation, I did what [...]

At the end of a workshop I recently attended, one of the instructors expressed her sincerest thanks to the assistants that were occasionally asked to participate in some of the lessons, by whimsically saying, “I would also like to thank our lovely assistapants for all their wonderful assistance and participation. Thank you.”
While I realize [...]

This is an excerpt from a children’s book I am writing.
“We all have a path, a path all our own.
And when it is time, it makes itself known.
If I had just told you, you would not have heard.
You would have just laughed, and then thought me absurd.”
I am sharing this with you as part of [...]

I was having a wonderful conversation with a colleague over coffee about coffee, something we both dearly love and attempt to give up from time to time, when she shared with me something quite profound. With sincerity and joy, she looked me in the eye and said, “I’ve spent the last thirty years of my [...]

Recently, an artistic colleague of mine did something quite remarkable and courageous. He had an idea, developed a plan, executed it faithfully and invited the critics. I call this remarkable because rarely do our ideas get past the idea stage, and courageous, because he invited the critics.
I salute him for that. [...]

Six Degrees of Manifestation refers to the fact that you are a mere six degrees or steps away from manifesting anything you want in your life.
The Six Degrees of Manifestation are:
1. Be Present. The first step is to become present once again. Once again? That’s right. When you were [...]

On a recent trip home to Ohio, I had the rare opportunity to go fishing with five of my nephews, ranging in age from 4 to 10, and my father, who shall remain ageless.
As we pulled up to the pond and parked the car, the boys got out and ran ahead with their gear. [...]

Awaken through crisis.
The call at 2 in the morning from a friend in need, the news of the death of a close relative, your child’s first fever, your stocks plummeting, the car accident you narrowly escape from, 9-11.
If “Emergencies” was a word on the old game show $25,000 Pyramid. The player describing the word “emergencies” [...]

“It was my birthday last week and I haven’t stopped celebrating.” – gruberism
I remember the first time someone asked me the question “How many birthdays does the average man have?” Not knowing it was a riddle, I thought long and hard and guessed 76. I was wrong, of course, because the average [...]

Sometimes you have to stop! Not to smell the roses but to simply stop.
Recently, I finished a project that took a great deal of time to complete. But after finishing the project, I didn’t feel the normal peace that I usually felt from completing a task. Instead I felt anxious. It was [...]
