It sounds like the start of the most elaborate, poorly constructed joke in the history of elaborate, poorly constructed jokes: A redneck from Nashville, a Nigerian radio host, a New York Jew who lives in a 90 square foot house and an author of lesbian romance novels walk into a bar. But the thing is: […]
On the Giving Voice To Your Story Podcast today, I had the chance to speak with Dorit Sasson about how perfectionism is just fear in disguise. How we plan ourselves into paralysis waiting for the perfect opportunity, waiting for all the pieces to fall into place, waiting until the time is right. Everyone’s Got A […]
I love this podcast! Eco-Arts Living is about the lives we want versus the lives WE CREATE for ourselves. We spend too much time focusing on what we don’t have the time to do, the skill to do or the money to do. Life is about making the time, finding the space and doing your […]
Thanks to Brian Cohen of the Long Island Speakers Bureau for having me on the Strategies of Success Radio Show today. We talked about setting big goals and taking small steps. We talk about gratitude and happiness. And we talk about how Toastmasters helped me overcome my fears and my failures. Listen to Strategies of […]
The Miracle of Now. All around us everything we see, feel, touch, smell, think or imagine exists as tiny bundles of light, particles of energy popping into and out of existence trillions of time a second, suspended in a constant state of indefinity, neither here nor there, neither now nor then, a slurry of possibility, […]
My very first ever Blab appearance, live and in living color (via video), playoff beard and all!

When Andy Puddicombe was a boy he went with his mother to a meditation class, which in his 11 year old mind meant he would be learning some Kung Fu, Jedi, Super Ninja type stuff, possibly even how to levitate and fly. He did not learn how to fly. But the concept of mindfulness and learning to […]
A guy goes to the doctor’s office to complain about his shoulder. “Doc, it hurts every time I do this.” “Well,” say the doctor. “Don’t do that anymore. That’ll be $275.” Ba Da Bing!! That’s funny right? We all like to think we’ve got enough sense to avoid intentionally doing things that are physically painful, […]
In 2004, Dan Harris was a fidgety, type A, hard charging war correspondent for ABC News, freshly back from the front lines and adjusting to life behind a desk but still in front of the cameras. One Saturday morning, he was the anchoring the news segment on Good Morning America, a job he loved, a […]
