An old business maxim is “What gets measured gets rewarded. What gets rewarded gets repeated.” It’s worth taking some time to stop and reflect on what you are measuring in your work and life. Think of this exercise as an end-of-year inventory of your inner world, your spiritual supplies. Items you could include in your [...]
I recently found a neat website called KarmaTube. It’s like YouTube, only with positive videos of inspiring people and messages. “Karma Tube is dedicated to bringing inspirational stories to light, using the power of video and the internet to multiply acts of kindness, beauty, and generosity.” The website is based on the premise that we [...]
We give thanks for Mother Earth and Father Sky For the gifts of Nature we can neither earn nor buy; For the grandfather stones, and grandmother moon, the trees, rivers and oceans who grace us with their presence; For the resplendent colors of fall, brilliant colors of spring, blinding white of winter, and cool shades [...]
My dissertation was on corporate whistle-blowing. Only a small percent of employees will report wrong-doing above and beyond the normal channels of informing a supervisor.

Some of my favorite daily messages come the the Daily Word from Unity. Each day a spiritual message of hope shows up in my inbox to greet me with love and encouragement as I walk on my spiritual journey. Often times the message is exactly what I need to hear. A specific word will confirm [...]
I saw a post this week with the song lyric that many of you will remember, “There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear”** The recent Occupy Wall Street movement raises complex ethical and spiritual questions regarding our global economic system. It’s not clear what needs to happen next to fix our global [...]
FYI: I’m breaking for a bit from my A-Z case study to share with you this article by Laura Lambert that I recently came across. The idea of spiritual menu planning intrigued me as I hope it does you. I’m part of a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group and this comes from another MOPS member [...]
Last week I attended an inspiring workshop with Byron Katie. The honesty and vulnerability of people who shared their life conditions were quite moving.
