Every morning the alarm clock goes off reminding me it’s time to wake-up. I hit snooze once before getting up and starting my day.

The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) may not be a success, but some shows are obviously taking center-stage on the network. It shouldn’t be a surprise, but the shows that are doing well are the shows where Oprah’s touch is evident.

I’m very fortunate that over the past few years since I returned to school I have met some incredible people. These individuals are not only smart (a given), but they are kind, growth oriented, and grounded in their place in the world.

I’ve worked with many clients over the years who are on a spiritual journey. The catalyst for this journey is usually some pivotal life experience that was in the words of St. John of the Cross, a “dark night of the soul”. Amazing how until we’re faced with a fork in the road or held out gun [...]

I had the pleasure of going out to dinner with a friend of mine last night. We had a great meal and during dinner we began a conversation about a topic he’s passionate about.
