Do you ever see yourself as less than valuable and worthwhile? I am sure that many of us do. There has been a school of motivation -- not literally a school, perhaps, but a set of attitudes -- that beats you down so that you will fight back and bounce...

In a comment to a recent post, regular reader, Bill, asked: "How do you get a clear intention?" It is one of those things you might think you should have, but how do you have an intention be really clear? After all, we have heard that the road to hell...

"It takes courage for people to listen to their own goodness and act on it."
-- Pablo Casals

Do you ever lose sight of your own goodness? Were you ever encouraged when growing up to focus more on your faults and weaknesses, and less on your strengths and qualities?...

When you make a positive choice by making room for others as well as yourself, you are casting yourself in a role that can lead you to wealth, inner and outer. Will things always be clear or logical? Rarely. As long as there are human beings around, we can usually...

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is "thank you," that would suffice.

When couples come to me to create and officiate their wedding ceremony, they often ask that their occasion be "non-spiritual" or "non-religious." They are happy with a "celebration of love" as a theme. I am too, because I find that love is part of the fabric of any religion or...
