Today I encourage you to believe in yourself -- despite all the critics. You may think it's too late for the dreams you once dreamed to come true. You may have given up on life, believing your time has passed...that nothing good ever happens to you.

At the same time, many of us use unhealthy coping strategies that don't support mental, physical, and spiritual health.

I was out at a gathering place the other night and was struck by the impersonal climate of our modern age. I noticed a fair share of the patrons were paying more attention to their phones than each other. Isn't that ironic - that all these people found themselves in the same room, yet they were searching on the Internet for someone or something better. I thought to myself,...Read More

It's March 21, and Spring is here! The spring solstice is the time for renewal; a time to empower yourself for the regeneration you want in your life today! I've included one of my advice columns on this theme for you below.

First, I'd like to share with you. One of the mantras on my old website was, "Know Thyself!" Its wisdom is more than 2,400 years old - ancient by any standard. It was inscribed on the front of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece. As important as it is to be self-aware, it's more important to "Be Thyself!"

Wait...it's 12/21/12 and we're still alive! I use all of these "End of the World" predictions as wake up calls, to re-examine my priorities and realign things. I imagine if my life were ending how would I live differently... more time with family and friends, less work, more fun, more travel, more risks...but my philosophy has been - why wait? Read More

This week I want to talk with you about Power. In order to relax and reboot, we often turn to something or someone outside ourselves. Depending on our interests, we might: pick up a pizza, drink a beer or two, watch a game, hit the gym, go for a run, play some golf, listen to music, go dancing, watch a movie, go for a drive, head to the beach, buy something new, treat ourselves to a massage, hot t......

No doubt you're strong, intelligent, and can normally work through your own problems. But some things just can’t be solved alone, with loved ones, or your barber. They need the attention of a specialist like Angelo. "...... Read More

Life can have a way of eclipsing our true self, emergent from negative life events sometimes as far back as childhood. As a result of a bad experience, we become disconnected from our true selves and others. Such past wounds include: a parent that dies, is emotionally or physically absent, neglectful, jailed, mentally or physically ill, addicted, inadequate parenting, family dysfunction, domestic ......

When a person has an extraordinary challenge, their stress response becomes overloaded. This is a normal reaction to an abnormally stressful situation. Most people's nervous system returns to normal after a short period of time. But some people's systems stay aroused. Their nervous system never fully discharges.
