One of the major premises in my work, both my writing and teaching, revolves around the need to give as well as to receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. Yet, we don’t want to give in order to receive. When we give, we make room to …
Most people don’t realize that through its choice of words, the Old Testament places emphasis on goal setting. In fact, it seems that God expects us to set targets for ourselves and at least to try to hit them. No matter our religious orientation – or lack thereof, we can all learn something from the …

When I’m not considering issues related to human potential, personal growth and practical spirituality, I’m considering issues related to writing and publishing. I see that they all come down to one thing: Learning to find our soul purpose and manifest that in a way that can help others. In this way we connect to our …
Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they’ve started. — David Allen I don’t celebrate Christmas; I celebrate Chanukah, and that holiday ended early in December.

During the season of gift giving, it’s easy to get caught up in the commercialism of the holidays. However, you can make the season meaning-full and spirit-full by giving gifts that come from your heart as well as from your soul. Most people find it easy to give heart-centered gifts. By simply thinking about the …
Do you feel like you have lost your mojo? Do you no longer have that special something that makes you glow, feel electric, energized, happy, turned on, and in the flow? Is your magic gone? I’ve been feeling like that for a while now. As I spoke to a friend she mentioned that she thought …
On Friday I took a walk in a nearby Christmas tree farm. Many people who live near to me walk there. It’s quite beautiful. I walked in the morning because in the afternoon the tree farm would be filled with people buying trees–or rather cutting down trees. As I walked I looked at the trees. …
The winter holiday season offers us a wonderful time to focus on hope, faith and miracles. Chanukah revolves around the idea of miracles—a small band of Jews fought against a large army while trying to preserve their religious freedom and won. They had hope and faith and a miracle occurred. Plus, during the rededication of …
