“The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds.” -The Dalai Lama

Life needs you to love, to come home to your true loving self. It needs you to be open to all that you don’t know, it needs you to listen with the intent to deeply connect, it needs you to want to feel everything, it needs you...

Sex has long been associated with self-recrimination or worse. There might not be another aspect of our humanity that brings up more confusion, loneliness or self-condemnation than trying to make peace with our sexual nature. Well now, through the of huge swaths of Google data, it is confirmed that we are united not only in our anxiety and sexual insecurity about our sexuality, but also and maybe more importantly in our collective desire to seek out and enjoy our sexuality. One of the most popular columns I ever wrote was about size and the fact that so many men are insecure about their own.

“All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.”
-Lao Tzu

Recently, it has dawned on me that I have spent many years of my life keeping myself apart from other people in ways that I didn’t even recognize. Whether it is in my unseen judgments of other people’s choices and behaviors, or the ways that I am unavailable to listen to others, or...

I travel a lot. Way more than I want to. My trips are all about meetings with buyers from different stores or conferences or meetings with people to help grow Good Clean Love.

There is probably not a single more important intention that I begin my days with than this one. It is in fact, the one that makes all the others possible. When my son was looking through my affirmation book and came across this one, he commented, “pretty religious” but in truth, it isn’t a religion thing. Prayer is actually a way of opening...

 “I let go of past circumstances easily and painlessly.”

I could use a few more instructional affirmations for this one. And I don’t think that I am the only one who gets stuck in the past. Our unresolved issues don’t just disappear with the circumstances, rather they take up residence somewhere in our body until we take the time and attention to listen to what aches in us. I have been dedicated...

“I know what the greatest cure is:  it is to give up, to relinquish, to surrender, so that our little hearts may beat in unison with the great heart of the world.”  -Henry Miller

Knowing why we act and what we are creating is everything. The clarity with which we begin any endeavor is not only the initial map we have to steer by, but even more deeply, aligns the mysterious and subconscious to...

A couple of years ago I was asked to give a class at our local cancer treatment facility. It began with a request for our organic products that can be tolerated by people even in the most sensitive times in their lives, but turned into what became one of the most beautiful courses on how love and positivity can and does heal us.

I learned as much as I taught in this class of 6 women, many of whom...
