This article is for all the people who grew up learning to be self-effacing, and have continued the practice long into adulthood. That practice of deflecting compliments, of saying “Oh, I just got lucky” or “Don’t be silly, it was nothing,” or “Anyone could do it better than I managed to pull off.” We’re taught […]

In the classic manifestation book How to Get What You Want, written by Orison Swett Marden in 1923 and referenced countless times in New Thought teachings, Marden tells us, “Men and women are human magnets.

Dr. Joseph Murphy was an author, teacher and philosopher whose great contribution to understanding the laws of the mind and the scientific application of thought to improve our daily lives cannot be overestimated in my opinion.

We live in a digital age, where sharing is the norm. Or is it? We share photos and comments and videos on Facebook and Twitter and YouTube. We share with friends and their friends and even with “the public” a.k.a. strangers. We post our opinions on world issues and we share what’s on our mind. But

I’ve been a bookworm all my life. When I was a child, trips to the public library (or to the bookmobile in summer months) were a family event, and I was blessed with parents and older sisters who showed me by their example how to expand my imagination and intellect in the pages of books.
