Outside the Comfort Zone: Where Creativity and Innovation Are Human Birthrights
At 94 years old, John Goodenough is at the age where many of his peers would either be pushing up daisies or sitting at home or an assisted living facility, doing their best to hold onto their lives.
But not John Goodenough. He's never taken no for an answer, never settled for the status quo. When he was 23, he was an Army veteran who, with the help of the G.I. bill, enrolled at the University of Chicago with the dream of studying … [Read more...]
Imagine/Vision: We Are All Visionaries
As we enter into the season of light, the time of the solstice and the holidays, and as we enter into a new year, I give you my gift - the above short music video, entitled "Imagine/Vision." I encourage you to watch it with an open heart and an open mind - it may just inspire you.
The solstice is the darkest day of the year. Now that we are past the solstice, more light is present in our world.
Martin Luther King Jr. once said, … [Read more...]
Healing the Fabric of America: A Discussion on Nov. 22, 2016
With the presidential election behind us, we as a people are at a precipice. The popular vote went one way and the electoral college another, and as a result Donald Trump will be the next president of the U.S.
People are hurting on both sides of the equation: those who voted for Trump feel the sting of an economy and world that is leaving them behind, and feel that they live in an America they no longer recognize. People who … [Read more...]
Election Day is Here: Time to Take Power!
Here we are, Nov. 8, 2016 Election Day in the U.S. On this day, I have some thoughts:
As an Acupuncturist, I have come to understand that the way people achieve real health and make profound and positive changes in their own health and lives is by empowering themselves to take matters in their own hands. They don't just do what the doctors tell them, and just take medications or have procedures; they question if Western medicine is … [Read more...]
Closed to Open: The Clash of Cultures, the Shifting of Paradigms
With just a few days before the presidential election here in the U.S., I'm sure you'll agree with me that it has been a wild ride. It's been a roadshow, a shitshow, and a polemic battle of the cultures.
What we have seen, amidst all the craziness, is a changing of the guard. We are shifting from a closed culture to an open culture and open future. With this shift, we are in the thick of a revolution and … [Read more...]
It Takes Courage for Yes to be the Answer
In my previous post, "Yes is the Answer," I talked about opening up to the world of possibilities, the world that George Bernard Shaw described when he said, “You see things; and you say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’ "
It seems so intuitive to understand that [Read more...]
Yes is the Answer
In a recent article I wrote, "Al Gore is Optimistic About the Revolution That's Coming," at the end of the article I quoted the poet Wallace Stevens, who says, “After the final no there comes a yes, and on that yes the future of the world depends.”
I then said, "We have such incredible capacity to use our power … [Read more...]

You Say You Want a Revolution?
A few days after Christmas I saw two films on consecutive days , both of which are guaranteed to get a rise out of you: The Big Short, based on the best-selling book by Michael Lewis about the financial collapse of 2008; and Michael Moore's new documentary, Where to Invade Next, about more humane and civilized ways to live than how life is experienced here in the U.S.
These two films, individually and in tandem, could spark people … [Read more...]
