Secrets to Success


My partner passed this on to me as his dad passed it on to him. Success, happiness, and achievement comes not only in the business realm. It also comes from deep inside ourselves, for ourselves and the way we view and treat others.

Trust What Is



My friend Argenis Vegas has written a wonderful book based on his personal experience with mindfulness, nonattachment and being present. From the book's back cover:

"Suffering can be the greatest catalyst for transformation. It can help you discover your own essence and connect with the field of all possibilities. You have the opportunity to navigate the flow of life and be with “what is” at that moment. Rather than fight against the natural current, be present in it. Those who oppose us are not our enemies, but our teachers. Offer them no resistance. This story attempts to point to that which is beyond words, and cannot be grasped by the mind——the unified nature of existence, which lies beyond the conditioning and the dualistic perception of life. My wish is that it will encourage you to welcome differences, thus creating a more peaceful, loving world, and to inspire you to see and go beyond the circumstances in your life."

For anyone on the path of mindfulness and self-awareness, I encourage them to read this book. It is full of wonderful nuggets of insight, inspiration, and enthusiasm for learning to trust what is. Visit the link below for ordering information.

The Mastery of Love


I recently finished this amazing book. While the title would lead you to believe that it is about learning to have better relationships with others (which is correct), it is about so much more. It is filled with wonderful insights on the most important relationship of all, the one with the self. 
I highly suggest it to anyone who is ready to explore themselves even deeper, and ready to look
inside a little more. By the author of The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz takes the reader on a wonderful journey of learning to let go, forgive and love.
