You feel frozen. As your big dream approaches — to show up, to really help people, to do the big thing you’ve always wanted to do — as it approaches, you begin to freeze. Who do I think I’m kidding? Why did I ever think I could do this? I
I cannot be you, and you cannot be me. While the differences will appear subtle at times, other times not-so-subtle. But the overall structure means you are something unlike others. An utterly different combination. A formula that worked perfectly for me might not work for you, because it was perfectly
Going over my notes from a month ago, I see how my thinking has evolved — but continues to clarify — about how to channel this endlessly creative mind in such a way that becomes expressible, useful, helpful. One has a deep desire to be of usefulness. One has far too many
I’m rereading a book I first read when I was fourteen years old: Real Magic by PEI Bonewits. It was perhaps the second book I ever purchased. Upon over 40 years separation, I now see that it is very well written, and was a very good choice for one

I've always wondered what is meant when someone says you should create a strong intention for what you want, and then let go of it — forget about it. According to this mystical idea, that is how you’ll manifest it. But I’ve always thought this is a little bit
I realized I had made several unfortunate mistakes over the past several days. I’ve had a “cold” (random tiring non-COVID bug), and this diminished my attention for days and days. I could still do a lot, but not as much. In this state, a lot of my self-regulation habits
Something I have only come to realize recently: You have a power unique only to you. I know, I know, you think I'm just trying to sound encouraging so you don't give up. You're coming home from school with a drawing, and I want to put it up on the
Dear Reader, I want to tell you about seeing things in systems. Being able to fly above the one tiny view of the world that we have, perhaps toiling away in the little workshop of our business, our work. Of being able, as it were, to transfer our awareness into
