SOW #18 The Art of Compassionate Non-Attachment with Special Guest Sue Patton Thoele
I read Sue Thoele’s book, The Courage to Be Yourself in preparation for this conversation. I’ve never felt more aligned with anyone else’s work. Our books could be companion books. Knowing her experience, I can’t tell you how much having that connection meant to me. I think between last week and this week, viewers are…

Yesterday, I spent the day reading about the mass shooting in Las Vegas and a double-murder suicide in my area. I have my brother in-law who works for Jet Blue in Puerto…

Stop Comparing and Start Living!
Have you ever caught yourself thinking or saying, “Well, if I had their life, I could…?” I know I have. I used to give myself that excuse. I have also heard people use my life as their excuse. There is something we are not looking at inside if we are being critical or comparing on…
