That the world is full of magic if you dare to pay attention. Those signs you’re seeing, that song you heard just when you needed it, that message on the billboard – they’re for you. You’re not imagining it. There are no coincidences. Read more>>

What I understand deeply — and what I think many people don’t — is the real meaning of being in love with yourself and truly caring for your own well-being. For a long time, I didn’t do that. I neglected my own needs, both physically and mentally, because I thought giving to others was the right thing to do. Read more>>

I have a deep empathy for the suffering of animals, especially the billions of farm animals and trillions of fish who are killed annually for food.

Many think that child victimization–whether it’s bullying, abuse, or trafficking–is an intractable problem. It is NOT. There’s a LOT that can be done to protect our kids, and I REFUSE to accept the status quo. In my work, I teach parents how to empower their kids to avoid bullies and predators and escape dangerous encounters. Read more>>
