Three Cool Things to Share


[click on bold for more depth]

At the Caron Foundation’s annual awards breakfast in New York City on Friday, May 9th, I was honored with the “Unsung Hero” award for my contributions to the addiction communities. I was nominated by Crossroads, Antigua. They wrote a thoughtful piece for the presentation and the program. Read it here… I am deeply honored and thank Lisa Baruch (in photo) of Crossroads for escorting me to the event.

I’d like to do a little sidebar here for those who don’t identify with being in addictions recovery. As far as I’m concerned, addiction isn’t limited to alcohol, drugs, sex, or gambling; we can be addicted to our conditioned thinking. That is a serious addiction that keeps us from feeling whole and alive and having our needs met. So, in one-way or another, we’re all addicted and can fit into this addiction recovery paradigm.

Secondly, the book I’ve been encouraging folks to read The Untethered Soul written by Michael Singer and published by the Institute for Noetic Sciences just won the Nautilus Book Award conceived to recognize world-changing books, and to celebrate how they contribute to positive social change, spiritual growth, conscious living, high-level wellness, and responsible leadership. I am very pleased and affirmed to hear that others find the rich spirit in this text.

Lastly, as a courtesy to those of you who read my musings I am offering the entire 32-page text of Organic Solutions to Real-Time Challenges: An Introduction to Focalizing as a FREE down, simply click here…

After a busy week upcoming, I’m off for some R&R and will be back in early June with more tidbits and my first newsletter in a long time.

Enjoy the spring flowers!
