You might be able to tell, there’s a theme lately going on in Grace Notes or Eating Peace videos on youtube. Retreat. On the inside. But you may not be so happy about that theme if you feel like you’re not doing it right. If you feel like you’re completely pissed off, agitated, anxious or…
As I walk through life (and sometimes run, I admit) in the past couple of years, one thing has been very, very, very transformative and awe-inspiring for me. The way I relate to money. The way money appears to relate to me. As in, we’re having more fun together than we used to. Almost a…
I love how people enter The Work in all kinds of ways. The other day someone who came to a meetup for the first time, knowing absolutely nothing about The Work, left with a delighted look in her eyes. She had never read anything by Byron Katie, or tried The Work, before our meetup. She…
The other day I shared with you that I just came from a week-long retreat on the wild, rocky, cold northern California coast. Every day we had almost exactly the same schedule, starting with silent sitting meditation, a silent meal of breakfast, then a talk by the remarkable and wise Adyashanti, silent lunch, silent break,…
I have missed you this week, I love sharing with you so much, and hearing from those who write. I have just come away from a primarily silent retreat with the inspiring and loving teacher Adyashanti for seven days. The only time there was speaking, was if you raised your hand, Adya called on you,…
In the fourth month of Year of Inquiry, we look at our complaints. We use an awesome exercise that I first did at Byron Katie’s School for The Work, a 9 day program with Katie where everyone gets to question their thoughts every day, all day long, about the world. I’ve been to three schools,…

The shame of feeling these, and wanting to cover up that I felt them, I took with me into adulthood. The problem is, if you feel ashamed to feel,…
My 100th Podcast Episode. Peace Talk is a short (less than 10 minutes) talk about inner peace, in every situation. Thanks for listening. Keep writing with your topics and questions, I love hearing from you. ******** thank you everyone for sharing your stressful thoughts, for they are mine, too, it turns out “This is a…
People in my Eating Peace class are invited to keep a journal during the 3 months course together online. Whenever I’ve taught this course, I suggest writing at least once a day, for five minutes if you can’t do anything more. But it’s almost embarrassing…. I myself have been practically rebelling against journaling. Again. Even…
Just after the new year, I’ll begin offering time to do The Work on one of my favorite topics ever…. ….Money. Because it is rare that any of us, no matter what the quantity of money is in our lives, has NOT had a stressful thought about money. We’ll embark on the latest newest version…
