Vulnerability
For my 70th article I would love to discuss vulnerability with you. It's a huge and crucial topic in personal transformation and wellbeing. Our social DNA and our 'dog-eat-dog' society does not inherently encourage us to be vulnerable. For instance, in an interview with the best known and unique researcher on shame and vulnerability, Professor Brené Brown discussed a workshop that she had facilitated. Coaches from 48 different nations participated: Every one of them mentio

The Drama Triangle: The Way Out is In
For my 60th article I thought it was time to address drama. The world seems engulfed in drama.

Just think flying off the handle with your partn

Higher Power
Your Higher Power is also called your soul, your real Self, your true Self, or your Higher Self, or even God. This is who you truly are. Anne Sexton said "Love your self's Self where it lives." We need a soul-led world not a soul-less world. Walt Whitman wrote "Re-examine all you have been told. Dismiss what insults your soul. The stream of thoughts (the so-called ‘ stream of consciousness’) of the conscious self, the ego , is shallow and not very wide. Our totality (our subc
