Today’s Show Up! Journal power words (I love my morning journal free-write. I always learn so much from my subconscious. ?). I have long believed that stress is the root of all evil. And, if stress is the root of all evil, curiosity is the root of all success. Something has to spark us. Something…
Morning meditation. I spent some time this morning meditating on the goals depicted in this sculpture I created. I love symbols and totems. I use them as concrete touchstones of my goals, And I visualize those successes as I meditate on the piece. This artwork represents my goals of writing, music, and teaching. I teach…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: I spent my free-write thinking about whether or not I’m too old to begin a new chapter, new phase of my life. I spent the last few decades working on projects I loved. But, they were all too diffuse. Over the last year, I’ve changed my focus. Actually, it’s…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words. Each of us is an artist. We don’t have to hold a paintbrush or a guitar to be one. We can create art in how we think, what we say, and what we do. As long as these things come from that passionate place inside each of us, that…

Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: this is what I wrote today. If you’re heading in the wrong direction, stop, close your eyes, and listen. The guidance is there. The path is there, but you need to listen for it, see it, and then embrace it. But that takes courage. It takes a lot of…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: The longer I live, the more I remind myself to move, the more balanced, strong, and flexible I am. We are meant to keep moving. That’s the only way things change. That’s the only way we achieve our dreams. I know some people out there say we have to…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: I believe that every emotion we experience is, at its heart, a form of energy (think electrical impulses in the brain). That energy can be used to fuel emotions (like fear, like jealousy, like bitterness), or it can be transformed. Energy in its pure state is just energy. It…
Today’s power words from my Show Up! Journal free-write. It’s physics. The more force we exert in any one direction the more vulnerable we become from other directions. So, it makes sense to not be rigid or too regimented in any aspect of our lives. Whether it is the way we think, the way we…
