Turn on your light. Shine it brightly, that others, too, may reduce and completely release their suffering. For as we suffer less, our energy, love, and attention become available to serve beyond ourselves. No longer fixated on our own survival and the quelling of our personal fears, we become available – available to innovate, to co-create, to communicate, and to connect. Join in a global community of 'peer pioneers'. Continue Reading
Gandhi – Self-Reflection as a Way of Leading (Part 1)
What’s so intriguing about Gandhi is how he transformed himself. One of the most influential people of all time, he didn’t lead a nation of 400 million Indians to freedom and self-government as the man he was when he began this epic journey. He led it as the man he was committed to becoming. Gandhi’s story – and his incredible and timely / timeless example to us – is that if something isn’t working, we must become what can allow Continue Reading
The Wright Brothers
One of my favorite stories of ‘leadership’ and of ‘change’ is of the Wright Brothers. I’m an abstract storyteller, so please forgive me if the ‘details’ of this story are not historically absolutely precise! Imagine yourself … As if you were alive, in the town where the Wright Brothers lived, when they began publicly expressing their ‘visions’ that a silver bird could fly. Ha! Most people surely mocked them, Continue Reading
Leaders and Followers – Part 2
For those of us who live lives where (yes, most of us do work ... and yet) we have ‘leisure time' – what do we use this leisure time, and energy, and attention for? We are droned to spend it glued in front of the television, the iPod, the cell phone, the computer, the … whatever electronic device you wish to name – without discernment. Without using these ‘tools’ as just that – communication devices that can deliver enriching, Continue Reading
Leaders and Followers – Part 1
It was as I was flying home from the UN Earth Summit – twenty-eight hours in flight – that I received this, amongst many, insights: Most people are followers; few are leaders. This revelation dawned in my awareness – not as criticism, rather as a necessary fact to be recognized, should I wish to truly participate in affecting any real and long-lasting, beneficial change. The minority are leaders. What does this Continue Reading

Feng Shui in URLight
So … how does this relate to the creation of URLight? It’s obvious to me. Everything we do is a direct reflection of our state of consciousness. If we are murky inside – emotionally, mentally, and / or physically – everything we present to the world, and how we engage in the world, will also be murky. If we are clear inside – inspired, aligned, congruent, in harmony, in respect – how we engage with the Continue Reading
Feng Shui in Our Selves
The only way – in my view – to create ‘clear energy spaces’ is to create clear energy selves. “I want you to know the profound affect/effect you have on my life. I learned so much about who I'm not and who I really am in your presence. And it's that presence I need to tell you about. You live your life so clean and clear that the energy space that you radiate allows others to step into that cleanliness and clarity. Thank you. Continue Reading
