In 2006, when I first watched the film The Secret, I had to smile. I wasn’t amused because the principles taught in the movie were unbelievable, stupid, or funny. I smiled because the film made it seems as if these concepts were new and mysterious. In fact, I had known about them for years. Not …
I bet you have dreams you’d like to see come true and desires you’d like to have fulfilled. In fact, it’s natural to want things—a new job, more money, a romantic relationship, perfect health, a red sports car—and to receive what we want. So, why aren’t your desires fulfilled?

Christmas offers those who celebrate the holiday, as well as those who don’t, an opportunity to take a deeper look at the meaning behind acts of giving and receiving.

I just returned from the San Francisco Writers Conference. This year I had the great privilege of not just attending or working as a volunteer but of working with attendees as a “book doctor” – freelance nonfiction book editor. I also helped judge the annual “pitch” contest, during which aspiring authors practice their “elevator speech,” …
We’ve had a new president for five days. Has anything really changed? Many of us felt more hopeful watching the inauguration, but what about now? Has that hope lingered? It’s hard to keep hope alive.
