Life Force Marketing
Here's Something to Ponder... "What would your Life be like without your main complaint?" This question was put forth by the great Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith of Agape International Spiritual Center in November 2018. I love provocative questions that TEACH and this one definitely falls into that category! Before I could answer, first I had to think about the concept of "main complaint." I think I know what he's getting at. He's…
Every morning when I wake up, and each evening before going to sleep, I take an inner inventory of my "frame of mood."

Just when I was beginning to wonder if my manuscript would ever leap from the computer screen onto actual paper, something shifted. I'm thrilled to say that the Proof is on the Way. I'm telling you all of this, not because I imagine you're particularly fascinated by the self-publishing process, but because I want to illustrate with my own personal example that moving in the direction of something new, something really worthy, will always result in obstacles to overcome and the need to re-commit, over and over.

Talking with a friend today, another member of this Tribe of mine. I'm saying there are 1 million of us in this Tribe, but that number came from nowhere in particular. If I add up all the massage therapists, acupuncturists, energy workers, Feldenkrais practitioners, voice coaches, dance educators, feng shui teachers, meditation instructors and on and on... Those of us who work with clients and small groups, working out of a strong…
Life Force Marketing was born from two converging strands. One is a deep appreciation for holistic healing practitioners, mission-driven artists and solopreneurs -- and retirees venturing into the business world for the first time. The second strand?
