The High Price of Self-Denial

“Dare Greatly,” “Dream Big,” “Just Do It.” These are the war cries of our times. I know this because I have all the throw pillows, athletic gear, and books. These ideas are powerful and they resonate deeply in many of us. Yet before we can even finish sewing the flag and assembling the marching band for battle, we become crippled by the real problem—we don’t know the thing, we are to just do; we don’t know what the big daring dream is.

HERE WE GO….

DAY 1. This is me with Wally and the first piece of furniture I have for my new office. Yes, it’s a big circle. We will get to that. The grand struggle of my hair should be its own blog. There is a stain on my shirt, I don’t know where my shoes were. I will be forever grateful for this picture because it captures the true terror of being light-years out of my comfort zone.

She’s got the goods

Inspiring and reassuring

I read this book at a seaside retreat and could not put it down. Far from the typical summer page-turner this book has left a huge impact on my life and I continue to use it as a reference to help with the big questions about my life and its purpose. I do not know what category this book falls into as it is a memoir, a spiritual guide, a self-help book and both a scientific and metaphysical explanation of our universe and how it works. What I found to be very compelling was that this writer is an accomplished scientist who describes her personal journey of awakening into a world that scientists are not known to go. Yet this book gives a clear explanation using both a scientific approach and the authors own experiences to what the benevolent Universe has to offer each of us and what we have to offer back. This book is both inspiring and reassuring for those of us who are finding our way home.
