How Many Apples Did You Eat Today?
I was walking around Golden Gate Park recently, chatting with my spiritual running buddy Tricia Barrett, when Tricia piped up, "So how many apples have you eaten today."
I had only eaten a bowl of brussels sprouts for breakfast, so I answered, "None."

Happy New Year, my love! I hope this is the year all your dreams come true and everything falls into place effortlessly so that you achieve every New Years resolution you may have made.
But before I blow pixie dust beneath your mighty wings and cheer you on towards better health, better romance, better business, better financial gain, better whatever, I want to suggest one thing on this first day of 2012.

20 Health Conditions Most Amenable To Self-Healing
In this post that proves with scientific data that you can heal yourself, at least a percentage of the time, I made the case that perhaps we should be embracing, rather than dismissing, the placebo effect.
But it begs the question - do all health conditions respond equally to placebo?

Heal Yourself, Heal The World
The world is deeply in need of healing. Civil wars are breaking out in countries across the globe. Children are starving. Global warming is turning natural disasters into catastrophes, destroying our habitats, and killing our animal species. The global economic crisis is destroying lives and breaking apart countries. Rainforests are disappearing. Soldiers are killing civilians and bragging about it. Women around the world are oppressed, abused, silenced, and killed if they dare to step into their power.

My Business & Yours: The Year In Review
Although I review the past year, and set intentions for the one to come every year, my friend Chris Guillebeau wrote a post challenging his readers to make their "Annual Review" public, so I'm taking him up on the challenge, in case it helps any of you.

If Jesus Gave A TED Talk
Having just faced the challenge of distilling my message down to 18 minutes for a TEDx talk I found myself looking at a blank computer screen, wondering what I would write as the Christmas post for my blog. And I thought "What if Jesus had only 18 minutes to share the entire New Testament?"

12 Tips For How To Be Spiritual
I was noodling around on the Google keyword tool with a business coaching client the other day, and I discovered that 2,740,000 people per month Google search "How to be spiritual," which kinda blew my mind. It made me think of my 5 year old daughter Siena, who we're pretty much raising as a Buddhist who loves Jesus. My very Methodist mother wanted to take her to church one day and Siena, who knows how to meditate but hasn't spent much time in Sunday School, said, "Nana, I don't know how to do God."

How To Get Out Of Your Own Way, Survive The Narrow Place, & Thrive
I was recently telling the story of my crappy-book-deal-turned-six-figure-success story to the students in my Get Out Of Your Own Way e-course. Since the forum is private, only for students of the course, I thought I'd share a few tips that I've been sharing with them over the course of the year as we all lift each other up in the process of getting over limiting beliefs, stopping the self-sabotage, and finally achieving our New Years Resolutions and other goals.

Can Positive Thinking Help You Heal?
A big part of the book I'm writing Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof You Can Heal Yourself (Hay House, 2013) is about how positive belief, hope, and expectation can trigger self-healing superpowers that manifest physiologically in the body, so I was delighted to read this article on CNN by one of my heroes, Dr. Deepak Chopra.
