Detective of Magic
I found magic again after losing it around the age of 6 or 7, which is when most of us move into what’s generally called “the Age of Reason.” I grew up in a simpler time on the plains of Wyoming in a town of 10,000–a time before screens. Kids tended to believe in Santa …
Kermit the Frog in the Muppets gives us a great example of reluctant behavior that Joseph Campbell called “Refusal of the Call” in his masterwork The Hero with a Thousand Faces. “It’s not easy being green!” Kermit laments his fate. He can’t hear, see, or speak any benefit in being a color that blends in …
Are you hungry for change–rapid change you can anchor in real success and then build more success on? Have you given it all you’ve got and mustered all the grit you could manage over what seems like a very long time? Are you not seeing the positive change you are working toward? Maybe you’re a …
The need to choose a Life Coach isn’t obvious to us right away. When we reach the age of reason/budding consciousness around the age of seven, it dawns on us that we need help for all kinds of things we can’t do for ourselves. We turn naturally to those who have longer arms to reach …
Why my best gift ever is intangible. I was a little startled this year to realize that my best gift ever is intangible! Not only that–but the best gift was packed full of things I had longed for all my life. How could it not be the best? I got to thinking about this during …
It's hard to believe, I know. But LUCK is really in our own hands! All of it: the shiny life, the full-of-money life, the "lucky things happen to me all the time" life. [Image by Here and now, unfortunately, ends my journey on Pixabay from Pixabay ]
Why Daily Mental House-Cleaning? Wouldn’t you agree that some of us are better at house-cleaning than others? Throw in the word DAILY and some of us run like crazy! But last week Lesson 5 of Charles Haanel stopped me cold when he talked about the need for daily MENTAL house-cleaning. He made the case that …

Always Outside Looking In? Believe me I’ve been there. I’ve literally spent decades of my life trying make that breakthrough discovery that would help me know WHY I’m here and WHAT I’m called to do and HOW to make it happen. The life of my dreams seemed so maddeningly close! I could look through the …
Time and I have been battling all my life. Usually time won, of course. As they old saying goes “Time waits for no one.” But that didn’t ever stop my trying to get the best of time. Probably like you, as a kid I’d plead to have more time at bedtime to hear more of …
Neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki surprised a TED Talk for Women audience in New Orleans with her topic: "The Brain-Changing Effects of Exercise." She claimed exercise is like giving your brain its own 401(k)! https://www.ted.com/talks/wendy_suzuki_the_brain_changing_benefits_of_exercise?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
Have you ever wondered why YOU are uniquely YOU? It doesn’t have to do with name–in my case there is another Shirley Ann Koritnik on the planet but we are very different from each other. Even identical twins who share so much genetically are each unique personalities–even when they grow up in the same home, …
This past week I’ve successfully moved through seven tough days following an unexpected and life-changing loss. In all the decades of my life I’ve never managed to let go of something so dramatic and so emotionally exhausting so quickly. Not only that, but because I’m newly clear about my purpose in life, I was able …
There’s just something about Spring, right? There’s newness everywhere, often in bursting colors and wonderful scents. The browns and grays of Nature transform into fresh and bright and clean. We humans get into the spirit of it all, too. Among other things, we put away winter clothes, wash windows to let in the sun, zip …

Week 23 in the Master Key Experience made me laugh in delight and dance–and I was not expecting that! You see, we’re almost at commencement–there’s one more week to go in our six-month master level class. So I’ve been struggling with sadness that the relationships we have as we’ve worked together will change. I have …
Me and SILENCE I have to admit I was quite startled to hear our MKE assignment. We were asked, if possible, to go into a time of complete silence for at least 24 hours—much more if possible—sometime in the next two weeks. It was highly suggested that we find ways to remove ourselves from our …
This week in the MKE we juxtaposed two readings to help us think about the possibility of perfect health, ease not dis-ease. We’re applying what we’ve learned about mind and thought and emotion and vibration to still another aspect of life: health. Again it’s clear that “authentic” magic exists and is available to every one …
In the last several weeks I’ve confirmed something I’ve suspected but didn’t know for sure. I have the right compass for my Hero’s Journey! I AM THRILLED TO CONFIRM THAT. No looking back now. I think a story I heard tonight says it best. A young piano student was super frustrated with her piano teacher. …
The words I am are powerful, aren’t they? People from my religious tradition will recognize them as what God gave as his name when Moses asked. I discovered the power of these words during my pre-school playtime as I’d pretend to be Cinderella or Snow White or Dale Evans or Peter Pan. To remind myself …
For 19 weeks I’ve been saying “Do it now!” 25 times out loud twice a day. It’s part of our practice in the Master Key Experience. It’s amazing what changes that little phrase has brought about. I pause to think whether to do this or that before the other when I hear the now ingrained …
