					  <description><![CDATA[These have been quite a wild and challenging few years for many small-business owners and solopreneurs (who make up a large percentage of the small-business-owner population). So much in the news about economic woes and other gloom-and-doom forecasts can affect the confidence and motivation, which are crucial when you're running your own business. <br/><br/>For spirit-centered solopreneurs, this is particularly true, because you're already doing something 'out of the norm' in approaching your work and business in a new way, with a new-paradigm perspective that moves away from the old Machiavellian 'the ends justify the means' approach. <br/><br/>So what's the best approach as you read the news and perhaps even experience a shift or seeming slow-down? <br/>]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/105/1/Time-to-Trust/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Trust, like faith, is far from a passive stance; it's very active, in that it requires diligence, cultivation, practice, discernment, and response. It requires us to choose, moment by moment, day by day, whether we give ourselves over to fear and anxiety, or to trust and greater purpose. Rather than clunking our way through life as an obstacle course, getting bruised all along the way, trust allows us to dance, connect, and perhaps even experiencing grace and synchronicity. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[There certainly is a lot of 'doom-saying' these days. As Jonathan Cainer, the witty and optimistic British astrologer, says, "There is a boom for doom-and-gloom!" We could easily collect ample evidence for doom-and-gloom -- we can work ourselves into a panic of fear and scarcity -- if we want to do that. But is that really where we want to invest our focus and energy? Is that really where we want to invest our power? Is that what we want to see more of? My point is this -- and it's something I've been reflecting on and living into for quite awhile now, and sometimes struggling with, too: the questions we ask and the thoughts and actions we choose are an investment of our energy and power. As we go through our days, are we investing more in Light-and-Love or Gloom-and-Doom? <br/>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Spiritual and philosophical wisdom tells us that when we are out of alignment, or out of harmony, with Nature and our authentic natures, we will experience that misalignment in our mental and physical bodies. Modern-day statistics for those of us in Western industrial cultures tell a strong story that we are badly out of alignment.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<strong>Your Powerful Navigation System</strong><br/><br/>For those who feel aligned with Cultural Creative values, or feel called to use their gifts and experience to make a more positive 'ripple effect' in the world, symbols, metaphors, and archetypes can be an invaluable 'guidance system.' Many of the new ways of working, or yearnings for a new and healthier way of living in harmony with others and the Earth, don't conform to long-established norms or standards of what's been considered desirable or 'successful.' So the old maps aren't quite as useful as they used to be, because many people are feeling called to different destinations altogether. In order to create new maps, many people are turning to ancient and inner Wisdom. And just how, exactly, might you access that? How can symbols help you to navigate your own authentic power-story?]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<strong>De-stress and Re-connect with the Power of Sacred Wisdom Practices</strong><br/><br/>
<div align="justify">Several trends that continue to gain momentum center around reconnecting with Spirit, wisdom and the Sacred. For some people, that means recommitting to a church, while others incorporate teachings from shamanism, aboriginal wisdom, Goddess-culture, Nature, or other spiritual pathways into their everyday routines. </div>]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;">Fostering a Culture of Deep Inquiry and Listening</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br/>The degree to which leaders and transformation-agents embody, communicate, foster, and require such skillfulness will define the degree of success the organization will have in meeting their greatest challenges, and aligning action with the vision and values of the organization. By leading into a culture of deep inquiry and skillful listening, leaders can strengthen the foundation from which all else stems.<br/> ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Paths of 'Conscious Enterprise'</span><br/><br/>As with anything else, there is more than one pathway for the expression of purpose, values, and Wisdom in the world, or of expression in general. The concept of "conscious enterprise" holds within it the intention to work more wisely, with a greater consciousness of the source, the intentions, the values, the ways, and the effects of what we do, why we do it, and how we go about it. It flips on its head the old Machiavellian standard of "the ends justifying the means.". As we know, "the means" often have a significant impact on quality of life and how we end up feeling about our life's work. What are the Value Paths of Conscious Enterprise, and which path are you walking? ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[The first step in thriving at any given time is to make the choice and set the intention: "Regardless of what's going on around me, regardless of the temporary circumstances at any given time, I choose to thrive."&nbsp; Once you've decided to thrive rather than simply survive or eke out a life, there are many practices and resources available for you to play with. Here are a few; you'll find more ideas and practices at Ivy Sea Online and in my blogs. <br/>]]></description>
