Improve Communication Immediately
I Live in a Communication Challenged World
My life has been one of communication challenges. I have lived in two cultures most of my adult life (and I don't mean man and woman). My husband and I speak Spanish, yet my children and I speak English. My son is dyslexic which presents all kinds of communication challenges. And I read and speak energy, which most of the known world does not. I've learned some simple but very effective techniques to help improve my communication with clients, family and friends. Try these and see if your own...

A Positive Force; Restoring Inner Peace
Maintaining Peace Amidst Conflict
Just the other day, an acquaintance of ours turned a bitter attitude toward us. How can we be so peace loving and always looking toward a better tomorrow, when the world seems to be going up in flames?

Climbing Your Inner Walls; Self Awareness

Most people spend their lives shackled to many chains; the ones that secure us f...

On Growing Up; Personal Responsibility and Accountability
Human Nature and Growing up
As an observer of human nature, I have noticed how often people look for reasons beyond themselves for the troubles in their lives. They make excuses and cast blame at others when things go wrong.

Evaluation and Adaptation
Self Knowledge and Personal Understanding
Species or society, business or individual, the same principal stands true; you must evolve if you want to continue to exist. Change in a comfortable and familiar routine can be very difficult, and considerably more so when those changes are in a person's inner self. The drive to learn, to evolve, and to grow, is a quality observed in most successful businesses and people.
