Emmanuel's Book by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton

Emmanuel's Book: A Manual For Living Comfortably In The Cosmos by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton is described as a "delightful and invaluable guide to our inner spirit and our outer world".  I can't think of a better description.  It's not the type of book l could read straight through... I go back to it when I am in a reflective mood and feel the need to go deep on the topics it covers.  

What Experience Will I Choose Today?

We can’t control the weather, the people we work with, the neighbor’s dog that barks at 4am, etc.  The world we live in throws all kinds of circumstances at us that will happen whether we like it or not.  The big question is… how do we handle everything lobbed our way?  How will we choose to experience the world?...

I'm Lost :: Lessons Learned From The Road

Other times driving was challenging… road construction, detours, closed exits, lots of traffic, etc.  As I looked at the road in front of us and the cars around us, I thought about driving and analogies to life… what follows are a few…

How To Turn Uncertainty Into Power, Not Paralysis

Uncertainty… what does it mean to you?  For many it’s incredibly scary.  For many it impedes progress, stops us in our tracks, and prevents us from opening new doors.  But does it have to be this way?  Could we change the game and use all that energy to fuel us instead of paralyzing us?
