Remember & Celebrate

Here in the States, we are about to head into Memorial Day weekend. Unofficially, it is the beginning of the summer season, replete with backyard barbecues, trips to the beach, fireworks, boating, swimming – the usual summer fun. Officially, it is also the time to honor American soldiers who have died in service to their [...]

Pebbles in the Pond

We hear a lot of talk these days about transformation. But what is it? How does it happen? What comes after transformation? Everyone loves a good transformation, especially the outer kind – the kind you can touch and feel. The big reveal of a transformed living room, a transformed look, a transformed body. And then [...]

How You Can Help

Right now, as you read this, American school officials are deciding which children to send home with food over the weekend, because there will be no food in their homes. In the richest country in the world, the United States of America, children are going hungry. This is criminal, revolting, reprehensible – I can’t think of [...] You Might Also Be Interested In...

Drowning in a Sea of C’s

I’m trying to break three bad habits. They aren’t good for me or the people around me. I’m willing to bet you’ve got some of these bad habits yourself. Perhaps you would care to join me in my Cease the C’s Campaign. (I think my habit of alliteration might have to be the next bad [...]

Tune Out. Turn Off. Drop In.

I’m a baby boomer – just as much a child of the 60’s and the tune in, turn on, drop out generation as the next guy. Just like all my baby boomer friends, I don’t want to get old. I tell myself every day that 60 is the new 50 (or even 40 when I’m [...]

Squirrel in the Middle of the Road Syndrome

I’m still reeling from how many people could identify with my last post about fence post-sitting. Much as I love the company, this is NOT a good thing. Birds sit on fence posts (and you know what they’re doing while they sit there) – not humans. If you’re going to transform this world of ours [...] You Might Also Be Interested In...

A Fence Post Up My Ass

A Fence Post Up My Ass

Carol Hess — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 02:31:07 +0000

I’ve got a fence post up my ass. It’s been there for a month or more, and it’s starting to get pretty damned uncomfortable. Ever since I allowed my authentic self to be seen, I’ve been sitting on top of this damned fence. First I lean one direction, poised to leap off that side of [...]

Your Soul Story – The Journey Begins

Carol Hess — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:39:02 +0000

Last week, I talked about your one and only story, your Soul Story. I said we all shared the same Soul Story. I also said it was the answer to – well – everything. Abundance, freedom, purpose, love, courage, joy, power, bliss, meaning, serenity, significance – they’re all available to you. All you have to [...] You Might Also Be Interested In...

Your One and Only Story

Are You Kidding?

Carol Hess — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:42:43 +0000

Are you kidding, Carol? Who the hell are you these days? I don’t recognize you. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! That’s the sound of complete and utter frustration with myself. I can’t get out of my own way these days. I’m doing way too much thinking and taking way too little action. And my business is suffering. My bank [...] You Might Also Be Interested In...

Your One and Only Story

You know how you hear one word and then you keep hearing it and hearing it and hearing it? I always take that to mean, “Don’t make me repeat myself, Carol. Sit up and pay attention!” So that’s what I do. I sit up and pay attention. And the word I’m hearing everywhere the last [...]
