Most of us are familiar with the story of Passover. The Jews escaped slavery at the hand of the Pharaoh by Moses with the help of God. Once escaped, they made their way to the promise land. It took them 40 years to get there. A whole generation needed to die in the desert before they were ready to be a free nation. Why did it take so long to become truly liberated? Surely the freedom of the desert was better than the mistreatment of Pharaoh. The truth is, they didn’t inwardly

We all have experienced anxiety. The pounding heart, the racing thoughts, the tight belly, tense muscles, and shallow breath. Anxiety is a low-grade panic that can, in a second’s notice, become a full-blown panic attack. This underlining rumbling of fear walks with you everywhere, contaminating your moments, coloring your perspective, and deadening your expression and joy. Anxiety disorders are the most comment mental illness in the U.S. With over 40 million Americans over th

Mass shootings are becoming common place in the United States. I remember the pit in my stomach that I felt when first hearing the news of Sandy Hook. The thought of children dead because of gun violence left me feeling empty. It concerns me deeply that my reaction to Stoneman Douglas High and the more recent, Santa Fe High are so vastly different. In tandem to sadness, I feel sickened and angry. Unfortunately, these mass shootings are not limited to high schools. We have wat

In part 1, the key of K – Knowledge, I covered the 3 Aspects of the Self. These are the 3 difference energies/states within our inner being. I also touched on our Human Potential Design. This includes the 3 Aspects and the 7 portals of power and expression, I call Gates. The 7 Gates of Power® are the 7 facets of life, through which our inner being expresses itself and receives energy and information. In part two, I covered the 2nd key, the key of L – Leadership. I spoke about

Most of us want to make the best out of our lives. We are eager to use our talents, skills, and abilities and make a positive impact in our community/lives. It is frustrating to have a sense of our potential and at the same time, not know how to actualize it. What we're missing are clear and effective tools to help us move from potential to actualization. In my work, I have defined the 3 Golden Keys to help us create the best version of ourselves. In the next 3 blogs, I will

Unfortunately, accountability in intentions, actions, and words has not been cherished or celebrated in our American culture. Money, status, and political power reign. Going for looking good, having a lot of money, and false power are ways that people use to fill in the inner black hole of lack of self-esteem. In the same way black holes devour energy, the inner black hole (lack of true self appreciation) does the same. It devours your life energy. When you’re trying to fill

The contradiction between Christmas, the season of love and unity and the plethora of grief and violence that has plagued 2017, is poignant and disturbing. Walking down the street, I watch the Christmas trees being sold, waiting to be placed in cheerful homes. They look lonely and sad to me. Usually, their scent and beauty ignite within me a flicker of joy and the expectation and the warmth of the promise of love and unity. This year, this promise feels empty. On the way to C

Every year when the holidays and Chanukah and Christmas come around, we are reminded of some of the most important elements within ourselves. Our ability as human beings to connect and work with spirit, our ability to give and receive love, care for each other, and serve our communities and the planet, these two holidays celebrate the highest and the most powerful within our spirit. They are a reminder of who we truly are and why we’re here. This is an excerpt from my latest

The universe seems to be purposeful; initiating constant change, growth, and evolution. We witness its purposeful motion in nature and in our lives. The energy and consciousness within an apple seed propels and guides it to grow into a flowering plant. The same energy and consciousness propels an embryo to develop, a child to grow into an adult, and a creative project to manifest into reality. The human soul is also a seed. Its purpose is to grow into a powerful tree expressi

We are almost in December. December is full of pine tree fragrance, holiday cheer, buying frenzy and party going. We drop into a childlike fun state, we let ourselves loose, and visit the wild and free us. We let go of our work responsibilities for a bit. What a relief. All that is great, we love December for that. At the same time, December is closing a year and is inviting us to reflect on the year that passed. We pause to be grateful for some things and to acknowledge othe
