I remember it clearly, the moment I understood I was divinely and innately worthy, and always had been. This experience of coming to know our worth is different for everyone. For me, it was during a religious retreat I had been invited to by the Women’s Club at my church. We were nestled in the […]
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin The source of all your power is within you; it always has been […]
If you’re like me, you light up when you discover TRUE leadership in the world: leaders whose vision invokes a higher purpose and who have a passion for their work that is pure and infectious. St. Joan of Arc is a perfect example of an indomitable spirit on fire with purpose, as are Martin Luther King, […]

It’s easy to inspire and motivate people – for the moment. It’s easy to say, ‘Hold a vision.’ You know what the hard part is?…The hard part isn’t the vision. Anyone can come up with a vision. The hard part is the holding… The single biggest challenge to any organization is the constant cloud of […]

Continuing with our theme of Empowering Yourself from Within, I heartily welcome this guest post from author and Harvard Business Review Blogger, Whitney Johnson: “I’m not paid what I’m worth.” Who hasn’t said this at least once?
