Nature Smiling Twice

Posted on 14. Mar, 2011 by in The Goo Blog

I love this photo of Nature smiling at us in two different ways.  Pay attention and notice how Nature is smiling at you today.  I know she is.

Clearing Your Energetic Closet

Posted on 29. Jun, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Have you ever had an article of clothing that you did not want to get rid of even though it no longer looked good or fit you?  Maybe there were even holes worn in it?  It really does not serve you anymore but you are so attached to it that you resist letting it go.

We sometimes do the same thing with the energies in our lives.  Perhaps it is the energy from a past relationship, work environment or school or family.  This energy no longer serves you, in fact it is restrictive like a piece of clothing that you have long since out grown.  When you have it on you feel confined.

Opening to Abundance

Posted on 17. Jun, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Having a new intention today was a bit challenging.

Keeping the intention of opening to supportive abundance in all areas of my life was new and a bit clumsy.  The guidance I received was to trust.

Instead of trying to figure out where the abundance is, just trust that if it feels like (more…)

What if Life Were Simple?

Posted on 11. Jun, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I was watching the movie Forrest Gump last night and it got me thinking, why do we make things so complex?  Life is really simple if we let it be.

Again and again throughout his life, Forrest takes the simple and direct approach to whatever he encounters.  He does not spend his energy explaining or justifying his actions.  Nor does he dwell on the “what ifs” that many of us find ourselves paralyzed by every day.  He just does it and it usually works out.

Wake Up And Take Back Your Power

IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP!

A few years ago I was teaching a relationships class and I asked the students to check in with what they noticed about the energy of a challenging relationship and then about a relationship that seemed to flow with ease.

As the students shared what they had noticed a fascinating thing happened.  Every single student referred to the challenging relationship as the “bad” one and the relationship that flowed with ease as the “good” one even though I had never used the words good or bad in setting up the exercise.

Listen for one minute a day

Posted on 12. May, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

What if you gave yourself one minute a day to listen.  Not read or write or think or improve or exercise.  Just listen.

When I stop for even a minute and listen I am reminded of what is important.  Right now I stopped to listen and the sound of birds singing outside my window came forward and the sound of road construction a block away, that had been dominating my awareness all morning, fell into the background.

Also the chatter in my head goes away when I just listen and my intuitive guidance comes forward and is heard.

What if you had a mentor who knew everything. saw everything and had done everything?  Would that be worth listening to? That is intuitive guidance. (more…)

How Does Being Present Change Your Life

Posted on 05. May, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

What is the big deal about being present?  I get this question, in one form or another, quite often.

The answer is being present is one of the most empowering things you can ever do for yourself.  Seriously.

Answer me this, where do you live your life?  Do you live it yesterday?  Do you live it tomorrow?  Or do you live it today?

OK today.  So let’s take it a step further.  Do you live your life an hour ago, twenty minutes from now or right here in this moment?

Excellent.  So now that we have all agreed that we live our lives in the moment it makes sense that the most powerful place for our awareness to be is present in this moment with us, right? (more…)

The Greatest Gift Ever!

Posted on 03. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

When you see a butterfly do you see the caterpillar that it was?  When you see a caterpillar, do you see the butterfly it will be?

Whether you do or not really makes no difference.  Because the butterfly and the caterpillar are what they are, no matter what you think.

The way you can most honor the butterfly, the caterpillar or anything else is to see it for what it is in present time.  Recognize the greatness that it is right now.  Not what it was in the past or what it has the potential to be in the future. (more…)

You Never Know…

Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

As I was sending out notices about my radio show premiering via email last week, I received a number of undeliverable notices.  I was not surprised.  In light of the recent economic upheaval many folks who I only had work email addresses for were no longer employed where I thought they were.  But for some reason one notice I received made me want to dig.

It was a notice that my email to a woman named Cheryl Glassner had permanent errors and would not be delivered.   (more…)

Blah, blah, blah…

Posted on 03. Mar, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Have you ever been in a conversation or at a presentation and all you heard was, “blah, blah, blah…blah, blah…blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.”  It was like you were listening to the teacher’s voice in one of those Charlie Brown cartoons.  What do you think when you hear this?  Is it annoying?  Insulting?  A waste of your time?

This blah, blah, blah is often what we hear when we are not being present.  So it is not that the speaker is annoying you or insulting you or wasting your time.  YOU ARE! (more…)
