The Nature of Consciousness – a video by Deepak Chopra

How to find your Compassion

Take care in what you do...everything you say, do, even think, sends out a ripple...sometimes, with wide-reaching effects. Take a moment and breathe before you react or respond. It can make all the difference for you and those around you. It can give you time to find your compassion.

When the Going Gets Tough

I had breakfast with a dear friend yesterday. We talked about a lot of stuff. We talked about our relationships and our jobs (mine is the unpaid kind). We talked about getting older and the changes that brings. And we talked about how at some point in our lives, we are faced with something we …

Forged in the Fire: deriving meaning from suffering.

I was 32 when I had my first child, a daughter who is now 17.  Shortly after her birth, we learned that she had Down syndrome and a little later, that she had a heart defect.  To say that the rug was pulled out from under us is an understatement.  This may sound crazy to …
