In every moment, all possibilities are happening:

Friday Dec 11 2009 There are innumerable expert opinions available these days about solutions to our current economic crisis. But are those solutions just band-aid solutions? How did we get here? What is money at its root? What are the problems with interest? Money As Debt offers a different perspective on [Read More]

We’ve all experienced a situation—whether in a marriage, friendship or business relationship—where we find ourselves thinking about the other person and saying, “I love you, BUT…”. It’s in that moment we realize a particular behavior of theirs is not acceptable to us and has become a source of stress and resentment. For many, resentment almost always leads to a downward spiral of self-destructive behavior and the eventual destruction of the relationship. I was coaching a friend recently who is in such a dilemma.[Read More]

Friday Sep 04 2009 Yesterday I received yet another of those ‘big lettered’ alarms about how appalled someone or another is about some left-wing motivated travesty against America, our troops and/or God. This one was about how the words “So Help Me God” were intentionally deleted from Roosevelt’s ‘Day of Infamy’ inscription on his Memorial in Washington D.C. About 30 seconds on Google and the facts are that this “eRumor” is just plain wrong. I sent the facts upstream to the long mailing list shown in the email forwarded to me. Somehow I doubt it will be passed on as eagerly as the original message was passed on to me. This type of activity has [Read More]

Monday Apr 27 2009 By Jim Selman | BioFor no particular reason, today I am more conscious than normal of my ‘little voice’—you know the conversation in our heads. I talk about this phenomenon a lot in my work. People laugh when I challenge the conventional view that they can control it: “Try to turn it off” or “Don’t think about what I am about to say”. Then I suggest that this conversation we are always having, what we call thinking, is in fact an endless stream of thoughts that may or may not be related to what’s going on and further, that this ‘voice’ is not ‘me’. This voice, like breathing, is an aspect of who we are but is definitely not the ‘I’ that we associate with being ourselves.[Read More]

I was preparing my mother-in-law's Canadian tax return this week for net-filing, a service I have provided for the past six years. For those of you who have used a software tax package, you will know that 'net-filing' a return is an online submission direct to the Canada Revenue Agency. Her return is very basic, really just accounting for her Old Age Security benefit and Canada Pension. Since she retired, she has never received a refund and never has had to make a payment. So this should have been relatively easy. Ah, but not so! This time, when I attempted to obtain the 4 digit access code that would allow me to file online, the online connection to the CRA would not grant me the access code.[Read More]

Thursday Mar 05 2009 By Kevin Brown | BioIt seems that no matter where I turn these days, the search for happiness seems to be on many people’s mind. Perhaps during this time of economic turmoil, people are reconsidering the happiness quotient they attributed to possessions and financial security. In the Telegraph of London, Richard Gray and Alastair Jamieson report that “Psychologists have found that people who spend their money on simple experiences such as going to the theatre, dining out or taking adventure holidays tend to be happier than those who buy possessions, regardless of how much they spend.”[Read More]

I saw the movie Elegy last night starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Penèlope Cruz. It was an exceptionally intense love story between a man and a much younger woman. He is a professor and she his student. What begins for him as a casual romp is true love for her and soon he too is in love, but is tortured and insecure because of their age difference. Patricia Clarkson is his stable ‘partner/wife’ who has her own career, is exceptionally independent and makes no demands. When she learns of the affair, she leaves him to deal with his demons and his dreams. The acting is great, although[Read More]
