I found the pondering of a fellow attendant at Byron Katie’s School for The Work (Oct. 2010) provocative. His question and my thoughts follow:
The fellow attendant (Antony Lehmann) wondered, “I would very much appreciate any comments that might help me clarify how humility is the opposite of subservience. Katie says this in ‘I need [...]

A reader commented to a previous post Accountability - Trust I give To Me:
I struggle with why being accountable to ourselves is so much harder. Even when it comes to the things we really want to do like loosing weight, spending time w/ family, or starting a business of your own it sometimes seems like [...]

Wow! What he said. Dewitt Jones, photographer for the National Geographic has a wonderful view of the world delivered in this video “Celebrate what’s right with the world.”
Probably the best 22 minutes of my 2010. The rest of my 523,440 minutes this year will be spent practicing to “trust my own values and vision to [...]

“Truth is in the experience not in the description.” I have heard this said many, many times by my Kriya yoga meditation teacher. I do not know if it is original or a quote. It doesn’t matter it resounds with me ever time I hear it, every time I think it. It is one of [...]

This is just too bloody cool. Check out what Diane and Barbara are doing - “What’s In Your Belly?”
“We women often have a love hate relationship with our belly. It holds our life story: pregnancy and abortion, illness and health, and yes, the seat of our emotions.
This workshop will explore what [...]

Not taking things personally, contentment, and compassion are what Dr. Jodi Prinzivalli talk about in her article “The Art of Not Being Offended.” I found her article on the Light Works site while researching the Law of Attraction and Manifesting Your Desires.
