In personal and spiritual growth circles, it’s a pretty common phenomenon for couples to split up.

Humans are meaning-making machines. We give absolutely everything meaning, which causes us to become triggered by situations and people.

With the new year just around the corner, many people turn their attention to goal setting and making resolutions.

Two weeks ago, a stray cat showed up in our driveway. We live in the mountains, and many people own “outdoor” or “barn” cats. We found his owners quickly, and they picked him up. “He’s a couch surfer. He’ll go wherever someone will give him food,” they said. “Plus, we have two new kittens, and

I’m not a quitter. Tenacity can be a good quality to have. Sometimes, though, a tendency toward being overly perseverant isn’t in your best interest. I pride myself on my tenacity, and it has served me well. Without my never-give-up attitude, I’d likely not have become an author. I probably wouldn’t have gotten married, maintained

Do you wish you’d pursued your dreams? Are you sorry you created a life based on living up to other people’s expectations? Do you feel remorse that your choices were guided by an internal drive to prove something to someone? Do you think about how different your life would be if you’d stood up for

What’s the #1 thing everyone in the world wants? I believe the answer is more. Everyone wants more of the good things life has to offer. I bet you want more, too. You want more success at work. You want more happiness. You want more passion in your relationships. You want more money, more energy, and more productivity. And you want more meaning and fulfillment. That said, it’s

To say emotions are running high right now is an understatement. And that’s why it’s so important to be intentional when you communicate. The smallest slip up in your words, body language, or response could mean a colossal blow-up simply because the people you are speaking to are overly sensitive and emotional. I have no
