Jan.22: Don't Break a Habit, Dissolve It!

2012-01-23T09:40:00.000-08:00

What have you told yourself about why you aren’t Just Doing It? From a coaching perspective, our flight instructor, Sherry, asks the question, “What is it you believe is getting in the way of your success?” The most common things are: Fear and Habits. Louise Hay says, “If we are willing to do the work of changing our consciousness by changing our thoughts and acting accordingly, then we are able to create a new life for ourselves far grander than anything the lottery could bring us.” All success begins with asking the right questions, creating a plan and taking action.

Instead of ending the month with this story, Sherry has chosen to begin the series with this story. It is central to most Christian thought. Sherry asks the question, What is the Truth?

Nov.7: Are We New Thought? Interfaith? How about Inner-faith?!

2010-11-07T14:34:00.000-08:00

How do you define yourself from a spiritual perspective? Are you Spiritual but not Religious? Are you Spiritual and Religious? Are you Interfaith? Just what does that mean anyway! Are you New Thought? What does that mean? If so what sect of New Thought do you fall into? Can you be New Thought and Interfaith?

Most of us are aware we are on a spiritual journey. We are seekers more than followers, yet we want to be connected to other sojourners. We want to be defined without confined. How do we do that?
