SOUL STREAKER

Wanna Streak with me? Soul Streakers are a lot like physical streakers, but the results are longer lasting, impact your health, relationships, esteem and energy. When you are a soul streaker, you strip away all of the layers of "Shoulds" and own your personal truth, the way your soul was when you first came here. For example...I once coached a woman who waited until her mom passed away and then stopped being kosher.&nb...

Write Your Own Obituary

This morning I was reading through the Washington Post and something jumped off the pages of the obituaries. (Not I read these pages regularly, with my coffee...) Under the names of each of the deceased was a short descriptor of who the person was in this life. This would be the title to the paragraph or two written about their family, life experience, jobs held and so on. It really gave me cause for pause when I read, often just one word, that ...

Credibility

What if Bill Phillips was 100 pounds overweight, scattered, disorganized,and volatile? Frankly, we would not be open to his message. There is a little thing called CREDIBILITY that we all should seek to have in our work. When we do, when we are credible, we reach more people-- Bill Phillips is a beacon because he walks the walk. He does not ask us to do anything that he does not do himself.If you are a teacher and not a li...

Notice: Your friends could be making you happy or fat!

Thank goodness for scientist and their willingness to pay attention to the smaller nuances of life. A British medical journal published results that explain that if we are happy we can spread that happiness among people "up to three degrees removed from one another." Imagine that!"That means when you feel happy, a friend of a friend of a friend has a slightly higher likelihood of feeling happy too." CNN reports. And apparently...

Cracker Jack SURPRISE!

My daughter received a bag of Cracker Jack's and I soon learned they tasted just the same as they did 30+ years ago. Sure it was now a bag and no longer a box, but that was okay. The "Surprise" inside was a little weaker than I remember them being. It was a piece of paper about the size of a large postage stamp that you could slide your pencil through with a picture on it to make it look like ants were climbing up your pencil. Wow. But ...

Holiday Cards For Soldiers

T-Friends- Will you pass this address along?Right about now you may be thinking about your Thanksgiving menu or your holiday list. Perhaps you are considering who you'll send cards to, which party you'll attend or what surprises you'll pick up as stocking-stuffers. May I add another thing to your list?Somewhere, not too far from where I sit and write these words, is a soldier in a hospital bed trying to rebuild a body and a life. There are both m...

Death refocuses you on life...

Tonight I got news of a third death in less than a week and a half... It almost seems like a bad dream.... The first, my friend's brother---on a motorcycle, less than a mile from his home. The Second,another friend's Dad at 73... and today a massive stroke of a guy I've known since I was 6 years old....a 48 year old man---That is right 48. No warning. Wife, three kids..... so so sad...Vanity aside, why are we doing this? I remin...

What can you learn from a BLIND horse?

Too beautiful a story...Had to share... Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing....Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.This alone is amazing.If you stand ...

What do you think?

We care.We may say we don't, but we do. We want to be thought "well of", thought to be making a contribution to society, have good kids, nice stuff, great attitude, nice buns...etc...Whatever it is for you that you wish to have others think of you, it is not enough to put up a front. I find there to be much greater inspiration and respect when the truth of what is--is congruent--with the face you show the world. If you want to be though...

Well, it is not fall until a 13 year old boy tries to set leaves on fire with a magnifying glass.... But that is another story.Tonight I will say a special prayer for the nation. My prayer is that the best candidate for president win the White House. Not by my measure, but by Divine Measure---after all, what do I really know about what is ahead for the USA and what is truly in the hearts of these men who want to lead? Today I th...

Question of the day....

What do 199, 185, 167, 144, 134, 128, 122, 117 and 105 all have in common?Answer: At one time or another each of those was either my fat weight or my skinny weight. I recall seeing the scale when I was 105 pounds (I think I was in 5th grade) and I was so sad to leave the double digits. I am not sure what that represented to me, but I didn't like needing three place values to tell how much I weighed. I felt fat.When I hit 199 pou...

Surrender, NOT struggle...

Birds Eye View Wednesday Soul Salon inspiration comes from Croft M. Pentz..."Spirituality can be compared to a ride on a plane-the higher we rise, the smaller the things on earth become. God is best known by surrender, not struggle."Think about that. When we are so engulfed by the two-do's, problems, stresses of this world, then we are not seeking our highest state of consciousness. We are sort of like ants motoring around the an...

Feel Invisible Mom and Dad?

Monday, October 27, 2008 Feeling Invisible Mom or Dad? I loved this inspirational video because the metaphor is lovely. Just as those that labored to create the world's most magnificent cathedrals--working a lifetime and never having lived to see the completion of their life's work--we as parents may never know in our lifetime just how profoundly we have reached our children.You are not invisible, although you may feel it at times.

Grow Up...Spiritually that is....

Becoming a Spiritual Adult Yesterday I had the special opportunity to speak at a mom's club meeting in my area. I found myself in the company of intelligent, loving, curious and nurturing women. The theme of my message was "living a life aligned with your values." This seems like such an easy concept, but when we look, we see that the "values driven choices" often get edged out by "shoulds, responsibilities and ...

Bills Phillip's Important Question in Tennessee

Last weekend I was in Knoxville, TN for TN Body-for-Life Champions Weekend. People from all over the US and the globe came to both give and find inspiration--- to lobby for personal health and personal power. The weekend did not disappoint the masses. A wonderful group of individuals aligned in a vision for themselves and others. You could feel the energy of the group as old friends reconnected and new friends were made. There were so many compe...

Profound I GET TO moment

"I Get To" vs. "I Have To" Like all of us here on Transformation.com, I learned from Denise and Jonnae Taylor to use the phrase "I get to" instead of " I have to" to shift the perspective to one of gratitude. I have tried to embody this through awareness- yes, simply noticing where I can be grateful for the simple things or things masked as to-do's or burdens...Here is today's PROFOUND "I get to&q...

Today I hugged a stranger in a furniture store!

My son and I were looking for a bedroom set for him... We looked and looked and found one that we wanted more info about. A beautiful--yet very reserved sales lady responded when I asked for some info. As we talked, my son walked around likely wishing he could bound from bed to bed to bed....The woman paused and with the most sincere query asked me his name and his age. When I shared, she told me he reminded me of her son when h...

OH MY!

I was away recently and near the ocean. When I arrived at the beach I had a profound moment. It was surreal. I became aware of a moment in time when the ocean bcame glassy and stopped....uncharacteristic on this shore of the Atlantic. In a moment I had a knowing---a real profound knowing that it was the blip in time that divine consciousness told the mass of ocean low tide was over and it was now time become still and then...

HOT Dodge Viper teaches BIG lesson

My brother treated himself to his dream recently. He bought this Dodge Viper thathe had been jones-ing for in the last 10 years. He really wanted this one, the blue one with the white racing stripe. He bought it "as is" against his better judgment but the low, low miles and amazing body were too good to let go of the deal. We were all so happy for him...he was so happy..... Then he took it to hi...

Ban this 4-Letter Word from your vocabulary!

We all know four letter words...I am not speaking about s-n-o-w, t-r-e-e or l-o-v-e either...Some we know from childhood as being forbidden words or Comedian George Carlin taught them to us. Either way, whether heard or uttered by us, we recognize them as the notorious four letter words. Today, I ask you to consider the newest member of the group. It has been on our minds, in our conversations and whittling away at our integrity and life.Wh...

Sharen's Transformation

Reading Bill's entry on Sharen's transformation and Sharen's letter to him was so inspiring. Sometimes the word inspiring is over used and thus watered down in meaning...Not today though!

When we take responsibility for what ...
