New Year’s Resolution

“We all seek pleasure,” says Bob Greene. “How do you get that pleasure or happiness or joy? And when it’s not readily available in the real areas that you want—relationships, family, fulfilling career—food is a hundred times more attractive and it’s readily available. It’s there, and it is the drug of choice for most people.”

Yup, it’s mine. This year, I’m committed to scratching the real itch. This is where my poverty mentality shows up! :~p

Thanks, Seth Godin!

Reading, Tribes, We Need You to Lead Us, has stopped my shallow breathing! Finally realized through reading Tribes that no one leads a project, they lead people. Or not.

Apparently Seth wanted to name his book, A Unicorn in a Balloon Factory.

Thanks to Seth’s book, I’m finally fully embracing that I am, in fact, such a creature.

Holy Clarity, Katie!

For the past two days, I attended a Byron Katie workshop with my family. Through Katie’s process anyone can trace unhappiness to its source and eliminate it there. This is what nirvana is all about. “Katie not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking, she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.”

You can find videos of Katie leading the work on YouTube, Google videos and on Katie’s website

God’s Pencil

What in the world is happening to me?

Who knew that checking a silly box on a 3″x 5″ enrollment card could cause such upheaval?…

During a four-hour presentation on the cause of world hunger, I committed to change the global mindset that allows hunger to persist. I realized that changing the mindset that allows hunger would also change the mindset that allows poverty, war, dis-ease, and all the other things humanity complains about.

I was 27 and needed something to sink my teeth into… Since that October 1977 event, consciousness has had space to work through me. I have become God’s pencil.
