Yes, being a lousy criminal can be good for our business. Let me explain. We are our brands. As entrepreneurs, as people living our daily lives, everything we do reflects on our business, good, bad, or indifferent. It makes a difference. So how do we make that difference a good one? By always thinking about […]
The Guardians of Alki
Yes, I talk with gardens and the beings who look out for them: where I live, I call them the Guardians of Alki, because Alki Beach is our neighborhood, and the names the guardians have historically been assigned are mean and scary and not worthy of us or them. Besides, at the time it didn’t […]
Is It Weather Worker or Weather Talker? How to Work with Weather
I call myself a weather talker, not a weather worker. There is a difference. A weather worker changes the weather, usually because the weather worker wants to. The weather and the land around it, including the guidance forces that created it, are not always consulted. While many of us can change the weather (yes, change […]
Co-incidence and Community: How A Dog, Three Women, and a Book Saved a Life
Sometimes we wonder if we’ve done the right thing in life. Sometimes we get lucky and know we did, even though we were just trying to get by. Sometimes that story co-incidentally defines another, which is what building community is all about. This is the story of how a chronically ill dog saved another dog […]
Sinking or Swimming While Writing Your Book
The hardest book I’ve ever done? My own. No kidding. Not even the analytical, skeptical, intuitive, optimistic cynic in me saw that one coming. In all the years I’ve written and worked with other authors, nurtured them through the writing and publishing process, never have I had so much trouble! I astonished myself with the […]
What It Means to Talk with All Life
We can all talk with all life, from our food to our cars, animals to plants, businesses to homes, volcanoes to weather systems. Everything you can imagine—and many things you can’t—can speak with us. In fact, they are all already speaking to each other. In fact, the only ones who are not participating in an […]
Talking with Our Businesses: The First Principle
I was surprised when I first spoke intuitively with a business. It just hadn’t occurred to me, even though I knew that everything is alive. Literally. A tricky part is how that reverberates in our lives, or, perhaps, whether we will allow it to. For people the concept that other beings have something to say […]
Talking with Our Homes: The First Principle
I always start at the beginning when I talk with people about intuitively communicating with anything, especially our homes. That means we start with the earth paradigm, which acknowledges that all life, whatever its physical form, has a separate and distinct soul and personality, consciousness, equality, rights, responsibility, and free choice to do its work […]
Space Clearing or Space Cooperating: The Difference Is Mindset
Many wonderful, capable, intuitive people offer space clearing. I don’t. At least not the way I hear it described by others. Space cooperating is, for now, the most accurate description for what I do together with my partner, the crystal Fallon. The difference is mindset. I do my best to operate from the earth paradigm, […]
