The Okayness of Stopping
Joy Mazzola, July 8, 2010
There’s this question that doesn’t so much bother me, but certainly nags me:
Why can’t I keep “life” going while simultaneously feeling into what’s next for me?
It pops up when I hear from the man who maintains a rigorous daily yoga practice, plays drums in a band and runs a school; the lady who owns her own consulting firm and happens to be an ordained Buddhist priest; the guy who meditates for an hour a day and is a grad student and works 30 hours a week. People who are making livings, making strides, and making space.

Finding Joy in the Midst of Pain
Kimberly Wencl, June 13, 2010
Sometimes when we feel like the world is caving in upon us and we are lost and alone and vulnerable, The Universe steps in to show us that we are never alone. I have had many such experiences, but none as powerful as the one that occurred on August 30, 2006. It changed my life forever and showed me that nothing can separate us from those we love.

Connection
It began with a conversation with a friend over homemade chai. Within minutes we both suddenly understood that everything we’d each been feeling separately over the past several months – all the darkness and confusion and stuckness and fear – have been in service of a much greater joy that that is waiting for us to claim it as our own.

So many people use “trusting the Universe” or believing in “God’s plan,” or what’s meant to be, a kind of pious reason to sit in their rocking chair, nurse their wounds, and wait for a rainbow, a pay check, or a patron to come knocking at their door. Yeah, well, my spirituality is a call to vibrancy. It’s got rocket fuel. Because I do trust Spirit, because I do believe that I am meant to be what I dream of being, I take action. My faith gives me legs--- to go with my wings.

Own ALL of Your Experiences- Good & Bad
Sandra Carrington-Smith, May 14, 2010
“The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.” ~ Author unknown
A couple of weeks ago I read an article about a lady who keeps two bowls of river rocks on her fireplace mantel, one filled with white rocks, and one filled with darker rocks. Every time something positive happens in her day, she switches one of the dark rocks with a white one to symbolize the positive occurrence, and each time something bad happens she takes the stone out and puts it back in its original bowl.
How To Conjure What You Wish to Create: Part 2
Lissa Rankin, May 4, 2010
Yesterday, I posted a fairy tale about the Law of Attraction and making your dreams come true. It’s an imperfect fairy tale, and one whose ending is uncertain, but I wanted to point out what I think is a flaw in Law of Attraction philosophies like The Secret.
The world is not a Fairy Godmother, waiting to grant us our three wishes. I believe we are all part of a Master Plan. We exist to fulfill our calling, live our life purpose, love openly, and serve the Master Plan. While I don’t doubt the ability to create anything we desire, I think we “succeed” when we not only create, but we do so with the Master Plan in mind. When we are driven, not by greed or ego but by divine purpose, we can create anything we desire.
How do you do this? Some thoughts…

Finding Abundance By Facing Your Inner Critic
Dana Theus, April 20, 2010
I discovered recently that to release my inner critic - silencing his nattering in my ears - I had to meet him first.
I’m working on some big stuff; working to make big things happen for myself, my family, my clients and for Owning Pink. This is BIG STUFF and I realized that to make BIG STUFF happen I was going to need some BIG ALLIES and so I reached out to God, the Universe and Everything and made The Big Ask. I mean, why not? Isn't that what all the gurus say to do?
