Many of us are waiting. We’re playing it safe, not taking any risks, putting off our next big steps, the transformations we long to make in our lives and work, until the winds of global economic change die down. We’ve locked the doors, boarded up the windows, and headed down into the basement. But the […]
Integrate the Inner Feminine with the Masculine
“The best thing about getting older is that you can really begin to think about your calling, your passion. . . . When I look into the future, it is so bright, it burns my eyes.” Oprah Winfrey Integrating the inner feminine with the inner masculine is the third (R)evolutionary axiom that is essential to […]
Managing Big Shifts
Time has come today. Young hearts can go their way. Can’t put it off another day. I don’t care what others say. They say we don’t listen anyway. Time has come today. Hey. Time. Now the time has come. Time. There are things to realize. Time. Time has come today. Time. Time has come today. […]
Humanility
Another quality of the visionary, along with presence, truth telling, discernment, wisdom, etc., is a combination of empathy and humility that I call humanility. Being humble is to be free from false pride and arrogance. It does not mean lacking confidence or being falsely self-deprecating, for it rests on a clear sense of the truth […]
Rescuing Gaia
For years, at World Future Society meetings and elsewhere, NASA scientists and other climate experts have been urging professional futurists to heed the call to action: Our climate is changing at an unnatural, accelerated pace that if unchecked will have disastrous consequences. They woke us up to how bad things already were and how bad […]
Visionaries Have Wrinkles
This phrase caught my eye in my email inbox: “Meaningful Beauty.” It’s appealing, isn’t it? Who isn’t drawn by both beauty and meaning? The combination of the two was tantalizing, promising substance, a look at beauty that was beyond skin deep—which only made the actual content of the email all the more ironic. It was […]

In this, my last blog post of 2016, I would like to share some of my favorite rituals for celebrating the turning year. The first is a […]
What’s Next? Midlife Questions We All Ask
Most of us are asking the same life-altering questions as we find ourselves standing at the precipice of change: How do I make decisions now since I don’t know who I’m going to be . . . or what the world will be like by then? The “then” timeframe for some encompasses the next 2 to […]
The Pink Dilemma
I recently went through an experience that I’m sure many of you can relate to—buying a gift for a girl and having to navigate the pink dilemma. I wanted to get a Channukah gift for my young granddaughter that her older brother wouldn’t want to play with. I knew she’d love a remote-controlled car, one […]
The Age of Greatness
Seth Godin wrote an insightful blog post once about the recession and the likely path of the recovery. Although one kind of recession is cyclical, he points out, another is not. Jobs lost to outsourcing and jobs that have become automated are not coming back. Attempting to re-create those jobs is nothing more than “a race […]
