I love that phrase. 

I first heard it at a Landmark Education class in 2007 when I was still living in Seattle.

The instructor was drawing three intersecting circles on the board. He said one section was what you know that you know—such as how to drive a car.

Another was what you know that you don't know—such as how to decipher complex mathematical formulas, or fly a plane.

A couple of months ago I was contacted by a company called Career Services International that wanted to help me in my employment search. 

I'd been contacted by other companies wanting to re-write my resume, but I just hadn't been that impressed.

There was something different about Career S.I.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the times of our greatest spiritual leaders? What was daily life like? What kind of food did they eat, and what kind of challenges did they face in their extraordinary lives?

Deepak Chopra, founder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, teacher, doctor and best-selling author, imagines the journeys of two of the world's most beloved masters in amazing detail.

I don't know about you, but I often struggle with my morning meditation time. I get bored, antsy, have "monkey mind"—swinging from one thought to the next—and sometimes just want to skip the whole thing and get right on with my day.

"Tidal waves are usually significant during times when one feels a bit overwhelmed," Bambi told me.

A few weeks ago I had a strange water dream. 

It took several hours for Guadalupe to look at me. I focused on the iridescent green shadow on her lids while her espresso colored eyes held down the floor.

We were both participating in a fiction and non-fiction workshop, given by the non-profit organization WriteGirl. 

Founded by songwriter, vocalist and poet Keren Taylor in 2001, WriteGirl promotes confidence and self-expression through creative writing to empower inner-city, at-risk teen girls in Los Angeles.

Part of my morning routine includes going back to bed with a cup of tea and a small snack as I read, write in my journal, and meditate to start my day.

I always share one of my raw almonds with Tula, my Miniature Pinscher, who is snuggled up next to me (yes, both my dogs sleep on the bed with me).

One morning this week Tula was begging for an almond. The rule is, I eat first, and then she gets an almond. I think dogs interpret that as an alpha assertion, but I just consider it good manners.

Have you ever re-read a favorite book and resonated with something entirely different than what you received the first time? I think that's because we, and life, are always changing.

I love Martha Beck. I think she's a genius. Not just because she went to Harvard and can use $5 words like sesquipedalian (which means given to using long words), but because she combines her intellect, experience as a life coach, and most delightful of all, her wonderful sense of humor to impart life lessons.

I loved reading Kelee Katillac's story Pet Project in this month's GUIDEPOSTS. The timing was perfect.

My dear friend Janice just lost her cat Lucy to cancer, and on Monday night of this week my cousin Brent called in tears because his adorable miniature poodle puppy, Onyx, had been hit by a car.
