My intention is to help people live the lives of their dreams and manna-fest their hearts&#8217; desires. Pretty simple goal, but with all kinds of twists and turns along the way. I liken it to the seed planting that takes place when we want to grow a garden. Vivid imagination is an initial ingredient since before we place the first kernel into the ground, we need to have some idea of the end result. If we went a floral expanse, we aren&#8217;t going to plant potatoes and if we want veggies to grow, we aren&#8217;t going to plant pineapple. How often, though, do we make that choice when putting forth the seed pods in our minds?<\/p>\n<p>From many sources, comes the same message. The\u00a0 bible says &#8220;Ask and you shall receive.&#8221; Abraham-Hicks offers the message consistently &#8221; Ask and it is given.&#8221;\u00a0 Joe Jackson poses the musical dilemma &#8220;You can&#8217;t get what you want, &#8217;til you know what you want.&#8221;\u00a0 and then The Stones sagely say &#8220;You can&#8217;t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.&#8221;\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000\">How can people discover their passion and purpose?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I like to say that your purpose is what lights you up from the inside and turns you into a human sparkler. What would that feel like to be electrified and buzzing with energy, throwing off vibrant sparks of de-light?\u00a0 Pretty nice place to be when I am there, which includes writing, reading, listening to music, teaching, interviewing, counseling and coaching. I set up time every day to do most of those things, which keeps my pilot light aglow. In that receptive state, so many ideas, insights and images enter. From that raw material, I create stories, experiential exercises to share, and counseling\/coaching interventions. It also helps to have people around me who inspire me with their brilliance and insights, their positivity and get it done attitude. Being a visionary is one thing, but taking inspired action is what really launches us into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n<p>I invite you to listen in to Far Out Radio from 6-8pm est and call in to pick my brain, or whatever is left of it by that time on a Friday evening, at the end of a long and rewarding week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faroutradio.com\">www.faroutradio.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-prn1\/1014287_191185471041926_276732563_n.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/107\/2013\/06\/ediefaroutradio.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5297\" alt=\"ediefaroutradio\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/107\/2013\/06\/ediefaroutradio.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net\/rsrc.php\/v2\/y4\/r\/-PAXP-deijE.gif\" width=\"116\" height=\"116\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was prepping for being a guest on a radio show tonight, I was coming up with topics about which I would be speaking.
