So Busy Lately

Stephen Fofanoff — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 05:12:44 +0000

This summer has been BEYOND busy for me. I’ve joined the board of directors of a wonderful nonprofit. The work is tremendous and totally worth it. But, it has kept me from updating this site. I make no promises of future updates at this point, simply because I’m focused on doing some good in the world.

A Sense of Wonder

How often do you find yourself seeing something you’ve passed by hundreds of times before and thought “Wow! That’s amazing.” Yesterday, I found myself walking along the same path I normally take for my daily walk and looked up into a small grove of trees that I pass under everyday. I was so struck with

One Law To Rule Them All

Interestingly, there is a lot of talk about the “Laws”. The Law of Attraction. The Law of Sacrifice. The Law Reciprocity. Blah Blah Blah. Okay. So we already know that the universe operates around laws, some we know and some we don’t. And in pretty much every case, we don’t know everything about how they

Why Do We Hurt The Ones We Love?

I have often heard this question asked. And I’ve heard many answers. We do it because we can; we feel that the ones we love won’t hurt us in return. We do it because we don’t mean to, but the ones we love are connected to us so deeply that it’s impossible not to. We

The High Price of Oil

For several years now, we’ve been talking about oil in the United States. A significant portion of the 2008 election debate centered around oil. So often, we heard the question from conservatives, conservative-wannabes, and anyone else looking for airtime, “what’s wrong with offshore drilling?” They told us how safe it is, and besides, if anything

The Power of “Unsubscribe”

Stephen Fofanoff — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:59:38 +0000

My friends and I like to gather for lunch every now and then and have a contest to see who receives more junk email everyday. It’s definitely not a contest someone sets out wanting to win, and when you realize that you have more junk email, it can be a badge of honor–until you realize

Do You Pursue Your Dreams Or Do Your Dreams Pursue You?

Stephen Fofanoff — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:56:35 +0000

I believe we live life one of two ways: pursuing our dreams or being pursued by them. How are you living your life? Our dreams call to us from deep within us. They provide a link to the purest version of ourselves. But, we often find our “story” dominating our dreams. Our story–I’m too old,

Stop Fighting Life and Start Living It.

One of the greatest challenges for me on a daily basis is learning to ask the question “Does this really matter?” Often, I see examples everyday of people getting “overly excited” about seemingly inconsequential–or worse, completely trivial or irrelevant–things. Perhaps you find yourself getting worked up over any number of things in the course of

How To Quiet Your Negative Thoughts

Martha Beck, author of the fantastic book Steering by Starlight, calls them the ranting of your Inner Lizard. The author of the book, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, Dr. Daniel Amen refers to them as ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts). Other people call them fear, mental blocks, paralyzing negativity…. Whatever you call them, they prevent you from
