David and Bathsheba (aka “Sue”) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Where Betrayal BeginsThere are some subjects that make us want to begin with a joke, partly because humor helps us breathe and partly because the truth underneath can be hard to face.A pastor once said, “The Bible says Bathsheba was a woman of great bootie,” but I think he meant to say “a woman of beauty.” And everybody laughed just like you.And yet, beneath the laughter, there is very little funny about betrayal.Infidelity can be devastating—not only because it may lead to divorce, financial up
The Secret of “You-Know-Who” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world is changing faster than most of us can absorb.Entire industries are shifting. Jobs that once seemed secure disappear. Skills that once promised stability can become outdated in only a few years.

You could hang out with the most creative and brilliant people - of course you would know the punch line to every joke before it was said. That would be a downer.Maybe you think you’d spend all your time answering all kinds of prayer
Ho’oponopono - Make Things Right (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are moments when language fails us.A friend tells us their marriage is ending. Someone we love receives a difficult diagnosis. We stand beside a grieving person at a funeral reception, aware that their world has changed. Or we realize that something we said or did has hurt another person.In those moments, we often hunt for the perfect sentence: something wise enough to comfort, insightful enough to heal, eloquent enough to close the distance. But the words that matter most are not always e
