Otter Thompson: Taking it slow

| November 24, 2010

It’s too rich, too deep and too well-thought out to do anything but take it slowly, one chapter per day, perhaps, or even one per week. The exercises at the end of each chapter, and the realizations they inspire, deserve time in which to ruminate, to gestate, and to help the reader shift their reality.

Otter Thompson: First Impressions

| November 9, 2010

Contacting that energy that is highest, whether we consider it to be within or outside of ourselves has, in my experience, the capacity to convey truths in a simple and profound way and I almost always enjoy the books that are written with this intention.

Asking for Forgiveness

| September 26, 2010

Aaron: Super-charged Goal-Setting

| July 5, 2010

I confess, I am enjoying the heck out of Raymond Aaron‘s Double Your Income Doing What You LoveDouble Your Income Doing What You Love. What, specifically, has caught my fancy? Aaron’s no-nonsense approach to success, goal-setting, and getting on track for one; his confidence in his methods for another; and the feeling of hope and [...]

Vallée: What is the Great Shift?

| June 29, 2010

I’ve now finished Kryon’s section of the book, as well, as Mary Magdalen’s, and am now almost done the communication by the Hathors. I’m getting the feeling that this is kind of an Intro to the work of these beings, since the Hathors are the only ones I am familiar with to any extent I [...]
