Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
All day almost every day–about 15-7–I labor. When I’m not at my desk or in front of my computer, I think about my work. And guess what? Most of this time no on even pays me. So why do I do it? I love what I do (or most of what I do). I’ve wanted [...]
Sometimes life just hands you situations and you simply do what’s necessary. Or at least you begin taking steps to do what you think might be necessary. Then you watch, wait, listen to see if the pieces fall into place. A friend reminded me of Angeles Arrien’s teaching: Show up. Pay attention. Speak your truth. [...]
I’ve been working really hard lately to change my negative thoughts into positive ones in a variety of areas in my life. I’m a firm believer in the creative nature of our thoughts and words. Sometimes, however, I need inspiration as well–I need to be reminded that I need to keep persevering even when something [...]
This morning I happened to take the time to click on Jeff Herring’s SUNDAY MORNING INSPIRATION: It’s the journey, not the destination. I was so pleased to watch this great clip from the movie “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior,” which is also one of my favorite books by Dan Millman. I found this a [...]

I was a drum circle last night with a variety of women. As we sat around the “mother drum,” a huge drum big enough for eight of us to use together, we chanted together. Our leader was Jewish and she chose a Jewish chant consisting of one Hebrew word: hineni, “here I am.” Adam used [...]
“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?” ~Rabbi Hillel I went to sleep last night thinking about a friend, not much older than myself, who is facing the last days of his life. I [...]
In a recent blog post, best-selling author and marketing expert made this statement:”No one is going to pick you. Pick yourself.” He was talking about the fact that authors and musicians are making millions without so-called “gatekeepers.” They aren’t waiting any longer for publishers and record companies–the “pickers”– to offer contracts. They are picking themselves [...]
Do you feel like you have lost your mojo? Do you no longer have that special something that makes you glow, feel electric, energized, happy, turned on, and in the flow? Is your magic gone? I’ve been feeling like that for a while now. As I spoke to a friend she mentioned that she thought [...]
