Why a Hiatus is A Great Thing

For the last year or so I’ve been doing Soul Lab– the blog and the radio show– with great enthusiasm, interest and success. I have had the chance to interview and meet some incredible people. I urge you to listen to some of the many radio interviews or read the Well-being Q&As in this blog [...]

Not Always Puppies and Rainbows

It’s occurred to me lately that the whole point of social media and blogging for so many of us was designed to be an opportunity to connect with each other authentically, creatively and without reservation. I’m not talking about the blog as a confessional or Facebook or Twitter as vehicles to tell the world what [...]

For People Who Want the Good News First

Sometimes you faced with the question, “do you want the good news, or the bad news first?” For most of us, just turning on the news requires a bit of courage, an open mind and even a sense of humor. For me, I used to be a news junkie until I literally couldn’t take it [...]

New Ways to “Be Here Now”

Thanks to my friend Suzy Spencer for sharing this article with me from Psychology Today called “The Art of Now: Six Steps to Living in the Moment” by Jay Dixit. It’s a nice, practical guide to staying in the moment and why that’s truly (as seekers and teachers across the globe and throughout time have [...]

Get in The Vortex

I’ve been following Abraham-Hicks books, talks and videos for a few years now and they never cease to impress me with the consistency of their messages.

Do you know the difference between a soulmate and a twin soul? Some people call them twin flames. All I knew is that your soulmate was supposed to be the “one” person you were destined to be with in this lifetime. Certainly this is the popular thinking. But there are others who say that we [...]

The Heart of Rumi

Did you know that Sufi mystical poet Rumi (born in 1207) has been the best-selling poet in the U.S. for the last ten years? Born in the area now known as Afghanistan, he is well known for founding the Mevlevi Order, better known as the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism. His poetry remains extraordinarily relevant, communicating [...]

Living in a Moneyless World

I have a love/hate relationship with money. Mostly, I love it when I have it, and I hate it when I don’t. As an adult I realize that a big part of my own spiritual journey and practice has been related to how I feel about money and how it makes me feel about myself [...]

How Big is the Universe? Wow, It’s REALLY Big.

Call me crazy, but whenever the size of the universe comes up in conversation, I always hear a variation of the same statement: it just makes me feel so, you know, small. And I say “really”? Yes, I understand that the earth is a fraction of an atom in the great design of the universe. [...]

25 Spiritual/Consciousness Publications for Your Reading Pleasure

Away from the blissful world of Soul Lab, my other work is as a PR person (www.hooplamedia.wordpress.com). In this work, I’ve had the privilege of working with really excellent people, and many authors writing about spirituality and personal development. Through researching the best media outlets (online and traditional) for my clients, I came up with a [...]
