...Welcome to Thriving Now!
Hi There!
(September 13, 2023) Right Distance... Right Depth. This concept supports our thriving relationships in ways that obligation, clinging, and struggle absolutely CANNOT.
If you want more balance in your savvy relating, listen and tap along with Not Too Close... Not Too Far: Just Right Engaging.
Our next workshop will be 3 Pitfalls to Avoid When Savvy Co-Creating. Registration opening soon!
If you're looking to relate and engage with others with more savvy and enjoyment, these three real skills workshops are powerful choices:
- Being a Good Friend with Safety and Courage. Friendships nourish us, and these days they benefit from savvy and fresh approaches to go deeper and stronger in a mutually beneficial way.
- Navigating Emotional Limits. Limits?! Yes. We're human, we have limits, and that does not mean we're "not enough."
- Candid Conversations. Having Frank Conversations Increase Connection... But How to Have Them with calm confidence?
All previous Real Skills Workshops can be found in the community center—a fantastic resource and space for those who want to be Thriving.
Check out the freshened Learn EFT Tapping Course. You're welcome to use it as our gift... and donations are greatly appreciated.
We have self-paced coaching and tapping courses for many aspects of healing and thriving for you to explore.

...It was a low-energy day here on the mountain. A perfect day for meditating, which I did. Then I felt that what I really needed was to get moving, to get out on the trail and move my body. Yep! That’s what I needed. And the more I thought about doing that, sitting there on …

- The Movie BIGLast night I was looking for something to watch on TV. Nothing really said “watch me” until I found the movie Big with Tom Hanks. I’d forgotten that I’d recorded it. I laughed and cried and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Big is one of my all time favorite movies. So before I went to sleep I […]

- N=1 is the Ultimate TruthN=1 is the ultimate truth. Large population level studies provide a decent starting point of what ‘should’ work assuming you’re an average representation of the population. This is useful if you have no previous data on what works for you If you do have previous data on what works for you, you would have to […]
- Find The OthersAdmit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, […]

- Emotional Abundance - Our Inner ThrivingWhat is abundance? Is it where we stand in comparison to what others have… and what they can and can’t do? If that is what “abundance” is then I will never have it. Such comparisons have never and will never feel “good” to me. What will?! What does…? These questions are forefront for me right […]

- Life without RefrigerationOn this hot humid day, my imagination goes to life without refrigeration. So much of what might nourish us (food-wise) would spoil fast in this heat. So much of my good mood here in the refrigerated home would spoil… I do as well as ice cream does in 90 degrees and 90% humidity. Refrigeration helps […]
- Home!When I read this I immediately thought “this is why it’s so fundamentally important that ‘home’ is inside of us”…not only some external, geographical location (although that’s important also). When we are not at home in our own skin then we will use many devices (and vices) in an attempt to escape…food, sex, drugs, problematic […]

- Savvy = Practical, Applied IntelligencesSavvy is practical. We’re relating in a savvy way when we’re applying what we’ve learned. Savvy is street-wise. Growing up all the adults around me focused on my smarts. Yet, I’m a dumb toad compared to AI when it comes to raw smarts. An internet search can give people a vast sampling of different “smarts” […]
- Multiple Layers of MindWe tend to think of our brain/mind as “one thing.” At least I did! It’s really helped me to recognize how multi-layered and multi-dimensional it is! The primitive brain speaks with a specific “tone” of threat/fear/protection and risk/death avoidance. The “inner critic” seems to be a part as well. I suspect we could even map […]

But I sometimes make cucumber salad with vinegar, spices, and […]

- Living life to the fullestThe phrase “live life to the fullest” isn’t always about mountain climbing, sky diving, and world travel.

He was […]
