Take The Easy Way

You and the universe are quite an interesting team, you know? You think it up and dream it up in your mind, and the great force that knows your soul’s intentions either moves heaven and earth to make it happen or does nothing at all because you’re not sticking to the plan. When things are hard… Read More

The Balance Between Gratitude & Managing Expectations

After I sent out a tweet this morning, someone on Facebook commented on the message by saying, “Susan, you sound like you have such an amazing life.” Yes, I certainly do. I love what I do for a living, I’ve got my health, I have a wonderful circle of friends, a great family, I’ve got… Read More

Ah, Love. Do you want it? Do you need it?

Ah, love. We want it. We need it.           Here’s the thing. It’s everywhere. I know we believe that love is severely lacking in this world, but I strongly disagree. Quite the opposite, my love. Love is seen as a premium product because we are deeply attached to what we expect… Read More

The Shortest Path To Enlightenment: Challenging The Idea That Life Sucks

Man, there is a lot of limited thinking and negative messaging out there in the world. I don’t cast judgement upon these sources of low vibes, I just notice that they exist and what comes at me when I’m within earshot. Life sucks. Getting to work sucks. Being at work sucks. They suck.

Leave The Rescuing To Cops, Firefighters, & Life Guards

I’ve learned a powerful lesson recently and that is to resist the urge to rescue people. Spiritual leader and author, Byron Katie, once said, (and I’m slightly paraphrasing) “There are three areas of business. Your business. Other’s people’s business. And the universe’s business. We suffer when we get involved in those two other areas of… Read More

Your “Personal Growth” Process Is Done, By The Way

Your “personal growth” process is done. It always has been. It was done the day you were born. When you pick up that self-help/spiritual book, attend that yoga class, join that drum circle, listen to that inspirational speaker, or walk on those burning coals, you aren’t growing, but rather, you are remembering what you once knew….

There Is Nothing Going Wrong In Your Life (nor has there ever been)

Sounds pretty far out, hey? Nothing wrong in your life…ever. Yep, you heard me. Perfection 24/7. Since day #1. Things being wrong versus being perfect is a matter of belief. What do you believe to be true about why you are you here? If it’s to be “successful” as the illusions of this world would… Read More
