The Power of Engagement Part 1 – Leading a Horse to Water
I’m revitalizing the Purposeful Politics section of this blog. Now, I spent most of my childhood in the South where I learned early on that there were three subjects you didn’t talk about in public: sex, money, and politics. (You could talk about religion but only in church.) So, I know the risk of writing about…
Why Trump (and the Repubs) wants you to vote for Jill, or Gary, or have Bernie run as Independent
Why Trump (and the Repubs) wants you to vote for Jill, or Gary, or have Bernie run as Independent: Trump (and Repubs) wins! But maybe not in the way you think. Here’s what I’d like to point out as a staunch Berniecrat who is as angry as anyone about how the DNC has mistreated our…
This or Something Better
The three of us sat around a mahogany conference table that could easily seat twelve; Connie Jacobs, my attorney, the other veterinarian who was about to purchase my veterinary practice, and me. I was so excited I had trouble sitting still. This had been a long day in coming. Close to a year had passed…
Why I’m Reluctantly Voting for Hillary

A few days ago, while sitting in my office drinking my morning nutrition shake and “wool gathering,” I spilled the drink on my leg. I didn’t realize that, in an effort to stir the sediment from the bottom of the cup, I had ended up twirling it with way too much effort, thus spinning the…

AS A QUICK REVIEW, REMEMBER THESE 2 DISTINCTIONS. There’s an important distinction between your true, divinely inspired life purpose, which is based in and arises from the universal attractive force of unconditional love, and your inherited purpose, which is based in fear, lack and a need to struggle to survive. Also, the Life On Purpose…

The Life On Purpose Process can be divided into two stages – the stage of clarifying your true purpose and the stage where you begin to live true to that purpose. For this latter stage, there’s the Toolbox for Living On Purpose that includes 16 power tools. You can find a link to a list…
Episode 023 – The Vehicle of Your Soul
‘Eating good food, exercising, mental stimulation, and rest are essential to the care of our physical being. When we breathe deeply and consciously, we take in and circulate life-giving oxygen, allow our bodies to function more smoothly. In the mental realm, flushing out old habits, thoughts, and attitudes can help to refresh our mind and…
Episode 022 – Freeing Ourselves From The Downward Spirals Of Life
Some people call them vicious circles or cycles or life sucking more than usual. I prefer to think of them as downward spirals of life. Those periods that we can all become trapped in like the whirlpool of water as it drains from the tub. If we’re not careful and mindful these downward spirals can…
Isn’t it Time You Knew Your Purpose?
