Rush Limbaugh has never been a favorite of mine. I’ve seen racism and sexism couched in hundreds of different environments before and feel no need to applaud it now. There are those who are calling for Rush to be banned from radio.

Isn’t it interesting how quickly we forget the principles of Democracy when the object of our scorn has a different view than ours?

To give your life for free speech is not to be agreed with.

Is it possible for us to regain the ability to disagree and still demonstrate dignity, grace and loving kindness to all?

If not, I doubt it will matter who is “right.”

It’s In You Too

There have been recent violent tornadoes in the central part of the United States in the past two months. Among many stories of true courage, one caught my attention in particular. A young woman, knowing her home was in the path of the storm took her children to the basement of the home and shielded them from any harm as her own legs were severed at the knee and ankle respectively.

How you ask?

With the courage you would use in a similar situation. If you see a capacity or strength in another, be sure you would not be able to perceive it if you did not possess it.

And The Winner Is…

It is my understanding that certain Olympic athletes are being told not to shake hands during the upcoming Olympics for fear of contracting diseases and therefore lowering the possible medal count.

I wonder whether winning or human understanding should be the goal of such events?

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time.

For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach
Gina Martin | Springfield, MA

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.
Roy Chatterjee | Portland, ME

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
