I recently started reading, “The Pathwork of Self-Transformation” by Eva Pierrakos. From what I’ve gleaned so far, the Pathwork process is about finding the unresolved conflicts within you that create turmoil, problems, tensions in your life. It reminded me of the concept of Polarity Management, the ability to manage conflicting desires, needs, yearnings. The elusive […]
I had the pleasure of coaching Ilana Rea to help her transition from her full-time corporate job to taking a sabbatical so she could focus on her writing.

In my book, “Path for Greatness: Work as Spiritual Service”, I describe a framework to see how your life purpose is fulfilled when you offer your gifts in loving service. As a result of my book, I frequently have conversations with people looking for their life purpose. Many mistakenly believe their life purpose is the […]

Others stepped up to the plate offering support, food, shelter, and comfort. Such an event can easily lead a country or […]
I’ve been thinking lately about the differences between life purpose, goals, and dreams. Share your thoughts on these in the comments below. I’d love to hear how you distinguish these and use them in your life. Life Purpose Many people think, “If I figured out my life purpose, I’ll know what job to pursue”. You […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday because it is all about spreading and celebrating LOVE!
