Yet again the unbelievable has happened -- an ordinary and beautiful moment turns into a senseless disaster, and we're heartbroken, outraged, and frustrated. Why? Who? And, most importantly, how can we stop it from happening again? Sadly, we have few answers when it comes to finding a way to make...

Several weeks ago I shared the step one of three to aim higher in your life by writing your personal vision. Yes, I know it's difficult to raise our sights when there's so much to do right in front of us, so you may ask, "Why bother?"

Because...

In the moments when you're in touch with your inner strength and wisdom, the part of you that can accomplish whatever you put your mind to, it seems that anything is possible -- and I believe it is. We are truly limitless. But if you're like me, life and its...

The truth is that you are both: aging because we all are, one breath and one wrinkle at a time and ageless because the real you has no age and doesn't change no matter how old your body gets.

Years ago a friend was visiting her grandmother, who at 87...

From an early age, our private world is shaped by thoughts about how old we are and what it means. In the years before we reach our 20s, we can't wait to get older. But quickly comes the time when we start thinking we're too old. For me it happened...

Times are tough right now, and they have been for some time. But the good news is that the harder things get, the better the chances for learning our biggest lessons. Bumps in the road can be a blessing in disguise. So this could be the perfect moment to begin...

Do you long for a greater sense of well-being -- that state of peace and happiness where all's right with the world? Who doesn't, right? Well, talking and sharing about how to pull this off is a natural step forward from last week's blog post, in which I...

Today I'm reminded that one of my biggest challenges is to do first what really matters -- and to do it before I respond to the siren call of getting as much done as I possibly can. And I know in my heart I'm not alone.

You see, today would...

Why can't you have your best year yet in 2013? If you're like me, the answers are all too easy to find. Just ask your ever-present little genie, who will instantaneously provide the reasons. For example:

• I'm too busy.
• I can't afford it.
• I'm too old.
• I've already had my...

It's frightening how the years fly by, each one faster than the last. Although Tim and I have carefully planned each of the past 34 years, there's a moment each year when time seems to be racing by too quickly for me to accomplish what I want in this lifetime.

In these holiday times we often spend too much of our energy rushing around in a panic, busily completing our little projects. While I believe that our motivation is a generous one, perhaps you like me are working hard to make things just perfect for everyone. Problem is that we...

Here comes Thanksgiving. Are you ready? I'm not talking about making a turkey here but perhaps giving you a chance to think about whether you're being a turkey when it comes to being thankful. Are you really truly grateful? With today's challenges it's understandable if you spend more time worrying...

If you want to stop stressing about your finances, quit focusing on how you're a victim of circumstances (as we've all done) and get over your guilt about playing the money game -- and then start giving your money the attention it deserves.

Not having enough money is a widespread problem, but you can do something about it. I'm going to tell you exactly how, and I promise that if you take these steps you'll see results quickly. They've worked in our life for over 30 years, in good times and bad. We've...

Taking full responsibility for your money has two phases. The first is about making your 100 percent list of tasks to complete so you can honestly tell yourself that you've taken total responsibility for your money.

The second phase is Awareness, the ongoing discipline of taking responsibility...

What's probably keeping you from mastering money is that you're wasting energy wallowing in self-pity and fear, while failing to take action that just might get you moving up and out of the pit. As reader Dwayne Correa commented last week, we're made of sterner stuff:

"Reminds...

The purpose of this Money series is to put you in the driver's seat when it comes to your money. My aim is to support you to transform your relationship with money from one of scarcity and pain to one of sufficiency, abundance, and inspiration. Think of these six articles...

Most of us are in a world of hurt about money. Whether we look at the global crisis, the national mess, or the jumble of our own finances, what we see is more frightening than at any time in our lives. Just when we think we've made it past one...

These days it looks to me as if life is becoming less satisfying as our sense of achievement dwindles in this crazy, do-it-better-do-it-faster high-tech world of ours. When was the last time you felt in control, on top of things, and had a sense of achievement such that by end...
