I have been thinking a lot about my journey lately. Where have I come from and where the heck am I going? I have been thinking about all the tools I have learned in the self development arena in the last 15 years and how I’m still on that path. Still learning about and uncovering some more of myself; unburying those treasures I kept hidden in the dark forest of my mental filing cabinets. As it usually happens when I’m taking a shower; what … [Read more...]
My father used to tell me that we can never step back into the river in the same place, no matter how much we desire it. And to that I would respond: that may be true, but sometimes in the attempt, the result is a greater blessing than we would have thought. At the age of 8 my parents nudged me into the world of theater. Perhaps they thought it would help me with my shyness. Perhaps, being artists themselves, they believed that … [Read more...]

One of the greatest honors for me was the opportunity to contribute a chapter in an anthology of stories, focusing on the strength of the human spirit, called "Living Proof, Celebrating the Gifts that Come Wrapped in Sandpaper." My chapter, called "The Heart Whispers Truth," highlights the lessons learned in my first marriage. During speaking engagements this past spring in Florida, Chicago and Los Angeles, I used the opportunity to talk about … [Read more...]
ON TRUE PROSPERITY, WELL-BEING, AND CULTIVATING AN EVOLUTIONARY HEART ~~~ by Christiane Schull ~~~ "Compassion is Truth. We are intimately linked - an Infinite tapestry stretching forward and backward in time. There is nothing that is not us. It is easy to judge but if we are honest we will see ourselves in everything and everyone. We will reach across the chasm of our own frailties to take the other's hand. And together, we will be blessed … [Read more...]
We can make one of two choices in walking through out day......We can live in our ego, or be guided by our spirit. Our ego reacts, while our spirit listens. Our ego interprets, while our spirit is open. Our ego personalizes, while our spirit remains objective and neutral. Our ego judges, while our spirit IS compassion. Our ego runs with fear, while our spirit is fueled by faith. When you find yourself thinking, feeling or acting in a way that … [Read more...]
ON TRUE PROSPERITY, WELL-BEING, AND CULTIVATING AN EVOLUTIONARY HEART ~~~ by Christiane Schull ~~~ "Do not doubt that I hear you," says God. "It is just that I miss that sweet song of gratitude you used to sing. You would sing me to sleep and wake me in the morning with the music of your thanksgiving. It is not that I have not visited you lately. It is that you have been absent to your own Joy." Christiane … [Read more...]
What is it that was so special about that day—we were three generations gardening: sowing seeds, getting dirty, eating, drinking and laughing. We were mother, daughter, and granddaughter. Not just 3 generations, but three generations of women, and like life itself, we were represented in all our aspects: willowy young tree, just starting to form, with roots easing into the warm soil, head facing to the sun. The mature tree, trunk thick and … [Read more...]

Generosity: A Rewiring Process Does generosity mean giving money? In the last three weeks I’ve been examining my relationship with generosity and giving. I am very fortunate to have dear family and friends who are and have always been very generous with their time, love, advice, finances, support and so much more. However, I found myself wondering, “Am I as generous as them?” Not that it’s a competition. I just was curious. Little did … [Read more...]
