Beyond Blue

I also asked David Borchard, licensed career counselor and consultant (and my father-in-law), this question: How can finding your passion, either as a new career or a pastime, contribute to better mental health? Here’s what he said: The human mind is capable of focusing on only one emotion at any one time. When you’re preoccupied…

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Anne Naylor. A consultant in personal motivation since 1982, Anne has written three personal development books: Superlife, Superlove, and Superyou. She specializes in consulting for individuals in transition or those wishing to improve the quality of their lives. She is also a fellow blogger for The Huffington Post.…

On Mindful Monday, my readers and I practice the art of pausing, TRYING to be still, or considering, ever so briefly, the big picture. We’re hoping this soul time will provide enough peace of mind to get us through the week! In the Gospel of Mark (1:21-28), we read: Then they came to Capernaum, and…

Beyond Blue reader Frank Bucher sent me a touching email after he watched my video about Henri Nouwen and the Spiritual Life. I thought his interpretation of my cone was right on, and I wanted to share it with you in case you also have doors that you are tempted to go out. I wanted…

The following is one of my favorite meditations in Henri Nouwen’s “The Inner Voice of Love.” The love that came to you in particular, concrete human friendships and that awakened your dormant desire to be completely and unconditionally loved was real and authentic.  It does not have to be denied as dangerous and idolatrous.

I enjoyed this post from fellow Beliefnet blogger Hillary Fields about whether or not to impose when someone has, well, peculiar behaviors. In her post, “Good Neighbors: Respect Privacy, or Leap In to Lend a Hand,” Hillary writes: My neighbor has OCD–a fact I just recently learned. For the longest time I believed she simply…

I am a bit surprised by the response on my post, “Do You Believe In Angels?” at the Huffington Post. I went back and forth on whether or not to post such a religious topic on a secular site, but I’m glad I did because the post has generated close to 400 comments. Here’s my piece…

Awhile back, I included a Beliefnet interview with Joan Wester Anderson as a second post after my video on guardian angels. On the message board of that interview, Beyond Blue reader Barbara shared this story: I don’t know why things happen as they do, but I do know when I am in control and when…

I started a discussion thread on Group Beyond Blue called “Do You Believe In Guardian Angels?” To open the discussion, I write this: On my blog I discuss a book called “Angels In My Hair” by an Irish mystic who claims that she talks to angels. She writes: As you sit there reading this–whether you…
