That’s a gift we need to steward wis...

"Right now, we are demanding authenticity and transparency and every business is in the business of building trust. And trust isn’t built by a logo or technology, it’s built by people. The question now is how do you get in front of other people so you can begin to develop that trust. That’s where digital empathy comes in for me. We have to know who we are, and we have to commit ourselves to listening to and connecting with our audience.” You have to ask yourself, “Does this technology enhance my...

Frank White is a Space Philosopher, author, and Instructor at the Harvard Extension School. He published the first edition of The Overview Effect in 1987 and I read it about a decade ago.

I’ve been writing notes down about this concept for a while. And I’ve been excited to share it with you. It feels like it’s largely the exposé of my full ethos on life. After writing it out and then reviewing it, I realize the weight of what I’ve articulated here. I know this is a pretty heady title. I was actually going to title this, Falling Away From Union, But I figured The Meaning of Life was probably a more effective headline. The following ideas are reflections of my ethos, my perspective...

I’m always looking for patterns and little elements that come up that may need adjustment in my life. If something is out of place, or bringing me down, I want to try and transform it or eliminate it. I want to be deliberate and intentional. Lately, I’ve noticed something. I’ve noticed my feeling of unease and frustration when comparisons start creeping into a conversation. It seems benign at first, or may even go unnoticed. But then it starts to turn into this toxic ooze that permeates the whol...

Why do we go to therapy? Or a workshop?Or a coach?Or a training? Or a retreat? A core dynamic of these events is accountability. We actually pay for it and sign up for it. And that’s easier to get our heads around if it’s “a professional”. But it’s often hard for us to open ourselves up to accountability from those around us, like friends and family. If I view accountability as nothing more than judgment from others, or unwanted responsibility that makes me uncomfortable, or any other negative p...

Akshay Nanavanti is an explorer of what it is to be human, to be fully alive. This discussion challenged me to reanalyze how I perceive the concepts of fear and love. Akshay doesn’t see them as opposing forces at all. He actually views them as being complimentary. He notes that when fear is felt, oxytocin is created in the blood, which is the “love hormone”. And that oxytocin allows you to rise above the fear, to be love. Whoa! Akshay believes that fear and love must come together for us to come...

SUMMARY This was a really important discussion for me. I think so often people just have no idea what Feng Shui is about actually about, or what it’s understanding could do in our lives. It’s not just about how you arrange the furniture. It’s about how we, as planetary beings, learn to live in balance and harmony with nature. I wouldn’t call Tisha a Feng Shui expert. I would call her an ambassador. A messenger with a profound understanding of our universe and how we can thrive within it. I hope ...
