The myth of finding your purpose
December 24, 2012
Hi Sweet Friend, Lately, I’ve been working on being softer towards myself. Kinder. Slower. Why? Because it just feels so darn good, but also because I’m feeling anxious. You might be feeling the same way. Anxiety is fairly common this time of year. There’s lots of pressure to party, socialize, buy and give the right stuff, pressure to map out the perfect 2013, and let’s not forget the nagging pressure to finally dump the junk… Read More >
The Inside Scoop from “Passion Whisperer” Marie Forleo
December 10, 2012
Hi Sweet Friends, You know how much I respect and adore Marie Forleo–as an entrepreneur, teacher and friend. Marie’s programs, writing and web TV series have elevated my personal life just as much as they’ve enriched my business. As far as I’m concerned, Marie is the ultimate “Passion Whisperer” because she has a freaky-amazing ability to identify and ignite passion in others.

Yes, You Are a Teacher

By Jen Louden
I know, all the way down to my purple nail-polished toes, you are a teacher. As in: You have something to share with the world that you care so much about, sometimes you think you’ll burst with your love and passion for what you love … and maybe, burst from frustration. Frustration, because you aren’t getting it out there. You aren’t sharing it. You aren’t taking your seat as a teacher. Yet. I was thrown… Read More >

The animal loving, totally bohemian, so very emotional Cancer in me somehow managed to ignore my inner purring instincts and chose a fast-paced career that was completely ill suited for me. I went straight from college, to law school, to a big New York corporate law firm. I could only describe my career at a law firm as feeling like I was walking in someone else’s shoes, stiff plastic shoes that didn’t fit me at… Read More >

Over the last few weeks I have had the privilege to participate in two remarkable conferences. The first was a military conference whose aim was to find innovative ways to address the array of challenges nine years of warfare has posed to the community it serves. The organizers were expecting 200 military medical professionals to attend and over 400 showed up. It was my particular honor to present on the day devoted to the exploration… 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 >
