Trusting in the Authenticity of your Experience

If we could breech the boundaries of time and look back on our childhood experiences with fresh eyes, we would see that our relationship to our experiences were authentic.  Authenticity has many faces, but the one we are looking at now is the authenticity of trust.  As we mature, our minds tend to form these check points that  act as filters to our experiences; these check points start to take over for the trust we once had for the true experiences we once enjoyed.

We gain trust in this process because it makes us feel more in control of the circumstances that we are engulfed in every day, but the truth is…we are not in control.  Sure we can make educated decisions that play out in (more…)

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.

People Are Driving Me Crazy!

Posted on 25. May, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

It feels like I have no patients anymore.  I seem to be frustrated and angry at everyone.  Seriously!  It seems like everyone I meet, no not really the folks I meet and speak with, more the people I encounter driving, riding my bike, walking down the sidewalk, in the aisle at the store.  Yeah, those non-descript knuckleheads are the people that are driving me nuts.

It is like nothing they do is right.  They are moving too slow or blocking my way or making dumb decisions.  How inconsiderate can these people be?  I feel like I am in a world filled with idiots. (more…)

I See You

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

A line in the movie Avatar that became kind of a catch phrase, and the title of the film’s theme song is “I see you.”  It is a way the indigenous characters in the film verbalize an intense connection.

As I left the theater after watching this film I heard people talking about this line and the scene it was in more than anything else other than the groovy 3-D effects.  And I could feel it during the film.  There was a noticeable change in the energy in the theater during this scene.  But why?

Being seen would appear to be a very common occurrence in our day-to-day lives.  Is it? (more…)

No Such Thing As Unhappierness

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

I have set the intention to be honest with myself about my next steps in business and life. Everything from creating new products and that they will have value, to not drinking alcohol and eating better. Things are changing. But not really. I am just letting the true me come forward. It surprises me at times.

I am not sure what my diet will end up consisting of, but it is clearly shifting. I am a little worried about how it will appear to others. Again pre-judging others for me. I think eating consciously and not drinking alcohol will look all woo woo and superior and that others will not like me for it or not be able to relate to me, but that is just fear. (more…)

Resistance Is Futile

Posted on 20. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Many people I know are experts at resisting change.  I definitely qualify as a change resistor at times.  I am sure you know a few folks like this as well.

This resistance always makes me laugh, because if I told them I was going to take away their right to change they would fight me tooth and nail to keep it.

We hate hearing that we have to choose what we want by a certain date because after that date we can’t change our choice.  Even if our right to change is restricted for only a year, like with health insurance, we are uncomfortable with this limitation.

Change is why we are here in this life.  I mean, what would be the point of living if we never changed?  We would just be a bunch of little, uncoordinated, inarticulate bundles of human.  If we did not change, we would be new born babies our entire life. (more…)

Bite Sized Transformations

Posted on 13. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Transformations are often considered big things.  Big ah ha’s.  But most transformations, like most things in life, are composed of lots of little pieces.

I recently began a program called 30 Days to Grace by Diane Sieg.  This program is a combination of conscious breathing, yoga poses, meditation and journaling.

When I started this program 30 days seemed like a long time.  Then, yesterday, I thought to myself that I had completed 5 days of the program and was already 1/6th of the way to completion.  Just like that I went from needing to repeat what I had done 30 more times to repeating what I had already accomplished just 6 more times.

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 Can’t Win If You Don’t Play

Posted on 01. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I was talking with a friend the other day when the conversation turned to how they used to lack motivation for everything, even change.  But now they were ready to change.  Actually they were committed to changing.  Enough was enough.

That is when it hit me.  Making a commitment to change and acting on it is like playing a lottery that no one else knows about. (more…)

Hello Misery, let me see when I can fit you in my schedule

Posted on 20. Mar, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I was just talking with a friend of mine who was having a hard time due to an old boyfriend who was back in town.

She was going through the standard mental gyrations of :  What if I run into him?  What will I say?  I don’t want to get involved with him again.? Etc.  She was miserable.

As the conversation continued, she said something that I found profound.  She said, “ I am really busy right now with work, I don’t have time for this.” (more…)
