How to do less and live more
March 18, 2013
How can you make room for your well-being when there aren’t enough hours (or coffee) in the ever-exhausting day? We’ve been asking ourselves this question for decades. This isn’t breaking news. We all know that our lives are overbooked, and it seems to be getting worse. But lately I’ve been wondering if we’re busier than we really need to be. Are we creating extra work and obligations for ourselves by thinking we’re more essential than… Read More >
Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s Work!
August 24, 2012
By Tama Kieves
This is what I want you to know and maybe someday take to the streets like a liberated fool: You’re meant to succeed in the work you love. Your desire will take you all the way. Welcome, to this amazing frontier of good. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t want to just “follow my bliss.” I wanted to follow my bliss, say to a bank, or to a bestseller list, or to some… Read More >
How I Handle Criticism
October 7, 2011
Recently, I received an email from a reader who has a deep desire to play big in her life and career. There’s only one problem, she’s terrified of the type of criticism she might receive if she really puts herself out there. “Kris, how do you navigate the good, bad and ugly?” What a fantastic question! First and foremost, I’ve cultivated a sacred relationship with myself. I literally have my own back, and I’m an… Read More >
The Key to Manifesting Your Dreams
October 28, 2010
By Laurie Gerber
I’m obsessed with personal growth and have spent my life devouring everything I could get my hands on regarding how to make dreams come true, all the way to becoming a Handel Life Coach and running the life coaching arm of The Handel Group for the last four years. Many teachers of the Law of Attraction would lead you to believe that whatever you can see in your mind’s eye and concentrate on, you can… Read More >
How Love Leads to Purpose
October 14, 2010
By Kevin Archer
In an increasingly obscure song by the Small Faces (circa 1968), a man follows his internal hunger and aching in order to fulfill his destiny. He becomes a baker. He sees the necessary elements around him: wheat in the field, water in the stream and salt in the mine. No longer able to just stand and wonder, he gives himself to the purpose that beckons him. It’s obvious from the singer’s intensity and the power… Read More >
The Wonder of You and Your Creative Dreams
September 16, 2010
By Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy
When I was 6 years old, I came home and said to my Mom: “Mom, show and tell should be me every day!” She gently told me that the other kids needed a chance, and I said: “They don’t want to- and they’re begging me to do it!” My first-grade teacher set up a system where I went to a different grade each day to do my show and tell. I loved it, and it… Read More >

Love Listers, Over the past decade, I’ve experienced the power of health, spiritual wealth and happiness.

June 21, 2010
By Guest Blogger
Photo Credit: Anastasia Photography By Danielle LaPorte 1. Gratitude is always the best place to begin. Any and every gig is an honour. Thank the host, and thank the audience for the possible mountains they moved to show up and listen to you. 2. Being prepared is an act of love. And intelligence. Even if you can improv with the best of them, do a complete run through in advance, and a written key points… Read More >
30 and Unemployed
April 15, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Sierra Brasher I have spent the last 30 years viewing the world from a standing position and believing that my career was a definition of who I am. This false perception misled me to thinking that it’s okay to allow fear and anxiety to rule my world, as long as it is in the name of “success.” I recently read that pandas upend themselves into handstands to show their peers that they are bamboo-thrashing… Read More >
Why I’m a Beauty School Drop-In
March 19, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Virginia I soap my hands up with cleanser and hover over Stephanie’s face. “Go on, get in there!” says our teacher, Miss Jenny. “You won’t hurt her.” I press on Stephanie’s shoulders and start stroking up her neck and over her chin and cheeks. That shoulder move is key; we learned that if you touch your client’s face right off the bat, they’ll jump out of the bed. Next I start circling into the… Read More >
Redefining Success

By Guest Blogger
By Jessica Goldman I have a mantra that I readily pass on to family and friends: when your life has changed, change your life. Considering how frequently I offer this advice, it would seem that I, myself, follow it loyally. But the truth is, it has taken me six years to actually put that advice into practice. A few months ago, I left my full-time desk job—complete with mid-level management title, consistent paycheck, and fancy… Read More >
When The Universe Plays Hard To Get
January 21, 2010
By Guest Blogger
I often think that the Universe needs a lot of help from me to move things along in the exact direction I would like them to go. And I comply by: doing, doing, worrying, stressing, obsessing, and then doing some more. This results in me being exhausted and frustrated without a lot to show for it, and what I like to call the, “I’m banging my head against a brick wall and it ^@$*^% hurts!”… Read More >
Make Resolutions Stick: 3 Steps in 30 days
January 5, 2010
By Gabrielle Bernstein
It’s post-New Year’s Eve, and the party’s over. The holiday binge expires, the hangover wares off, and we’re left without excuses for gluttonous behavior. Consequently, we turn to the resolution bandwagon. New Years is traditionally considered to be the perfect time to create change. Unfortunately, real change rarely lasts. Making changes stick requires more than eight-minute abs, Nicorette gum or the South Beach Diet. True change doesn’t allow for shortcuts. It calls for willingness, commitment… Read More >

My Spiritual Salvation
December 16, 2009
By Guest Blogger
When I started to write a book about spirituality for modern women the last thing I expected was to have my own lifestyle and personality overhaul. Though lord knows I needed it! Even the spirits, guides, angels and fairies at the bottom of my garden knew I needed it. Everybody knew I needed it, except, of course for little old me! Two years ago I was living a late twenties alcohol-fueled path of denial. I… Read More >
Solid Nutrition: The Base for Economic Recovery
December 8, 2009
By Brendan Brazier
In the early part of the previous century, being overweight was a sign of wealth and, as such, a status symbol. Those who were able to afford excessive amounts of food wanted the world to see they made enough money to overeat. Fortunately, times have changed, and today people showcase their wealth in less health-damaging ways. Now, however, the other end of the income spectrum is most commonly overweight or obese. According to studies conducted… Read More >

Making Time: Back to the Ranch
October 30, 2009
By Danny Seo
A couple of years ago, I was given a gift of a one-week stay at Rancho La Puerta, a destination spa in Tecate, Mexico. This is a legendary spa dedicated to fitness, health and wellness, and delicious healthy food. Forget Calgan; Rancho la Puerta, take me away. To most people, this sounds like a heavenly offer—a free week to spend doing nothing but yoga and pilates, taking glorious hikes up mountains with breathtaking views, enjoying… Read More >
My Competitive Spirit Meets Yoga
October 28, 2009
By Guest Blogger
I just finished yoga and I’m pumped. I know that sounds contradictory, but work with me. Yoga energizes me because it challenges me to let all those silly distractions fall away. I forget about who’s emailed or texted me in the last 30 seconds. I don’t wonder if my tweets are going out as scheduled. I’m just able to be. For those 45, okay, 35 minutes, I’m just being. I’m just me. I was introduced… Read More >

Hey Dreamy Dreamers! I had a dream to complete a mini triathlon and on August 29th, 2009 I did just that.
