Attention: Book lovers this post is full of spoilers. But at the end of the post, I offer some creative distinctions that redeem the spoilers. I just got rid of two-thirds of my books! It feels wonderful. I even let go of books I love, books that changed my life, books I’ve always wanted to [...]
Whitney Houston died on Saturday. Sunday I offered the first session of the Contribution course (the Tuesday sessions begin tomorrow).

The first are at no cost, the latter have fees. Both offer value to the degree you invest your time and attention. Part of my growing edge and what I love about my work is waiting [...]
It’s November. The year is about to be over…done…finished…gone. How do you say goodbye to 2011? How do you discover the inner meaning of 2011? How do you prepare for 2012? Each year you evolve.
