On Monday night, we began the strategic planning process for Compass Yoga. We’re laying out a solid mission statement and using that to direct our programming and fundraising efforts. With all of the possibilities for our services, we have to be very deliberate about where we place our focus and energy. As we were sorting [...]

Leap: Your Path is Up to You
Posted in adventure, choices, decision-making on January 29, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
“Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.” ~ Antonio Machado A path is a nice idea. We see it laid out before us, unfolding one glorious step at a time, and all we have to do is go along for the ride. Paths I’ve found are rarely given. They’re made. We make [...]
Leap: The Monkey Mind and The Inner Sage Can Walk Together
Posted in choices, creativity, decision-making, stress on January 28, 2012 | 2 Comments »
When we’re in a funk, it can be tough to pick our heads up and re-energize. When we’re down and out, sometimes it feels easier to stay that way. And for a while, I think that’s true. Every once in a while we do have the right to wallow a bit when something doesn’t go [...]
Leap: Making a Big Career Choice Earlier Than I Expected
Posted in career, choices, decision-making, meditation on January 25, 2012 | 10 Comments »
I’ve got some career choices to make in a shorter time frame than I planned. The company I work for is going through some reorganization. Minimal reduction in headcount lots of reshuffling. This comes as no surprise; what surprised me was that I would have options. There are several different places that I could land [...]
Leap: Heat Up the Iron and Carve Your Own Path (in Life and Book Publishing)
Posted in books, career, choices, creativity, writing on January 22, 2012 | 5 Comments »
“Do not wait to strike until the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.” ~ William B. Sprague via Alison Lewis Over the past few months I’ve been sending out query letters and full book proposals to potential agents for a book I’m writing about yoga and personal finance. I love the project [...]
Leap: Sometimes Your Future Chooses You
Posted in adventure, career, choices, future, work on January 21, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Next week is going to prove to be an interesting week around the office. There are rumors flying about changes in staff, strategy, and priorities. I’ve heard so many at this point that they’ve all cancelled one another out. Only one thing is for certain – the way it is now is not the way [...]
Leap: What We’re All Really Doing Here
Posted in choices, decision-making, travel, work on January 8, 2012 | 2 Comments »
“We‘re all just walking each other home.” ~ Ram Dass I read this quote from Ram Dass and it stopped me in my tracks. It reminded me that we are here to be of service to one another. All we’re ever really trying to do is make life a little bit easier, a little happier [...]
Beginning: The Art Born of Life
Posted in art, career, choices, creativity on December 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
“If you want to work on your art, work on your life.” – Chekhov I spent a lot of 2011 in a mode of planning and personal development. At turns, I would get frustrated with what appeared to be a lack of progress, or at least a lack of progress at the pace I wanted. [...]
Beginning: Create Something Beautiful and Good in 2012
Posted in choices, clarity, creativity, writer, yoga on December 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
“That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don’t spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.” ~ Denis Waitley It’s with more than a bit of irony to find this quote among my reading during the holiday season. It [...]
Beginning: How to Recognize an Ending
Posted in change, choices, clarity, inspiration, invention, writing on December 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My year of writing about new beginnings is winding down. A few more days and my new writing adventure for 2012 will take shape. I’ll reveal more details about this shortly. For the moment, I’m thinking about endings. The end of 2011. The end of spending too much time on things that aren’t adding to [...]
