Once a week or so, I ask a Burning Question — from the soul deep to trash frivolity. (Actually, I’m not that frivolous. Which doesn’t mean I’m trashy, anyway…)
I answer the question, and I invite you to do the same, either on your on blog or on Facebook.
Generally, I think people should ask more questions. Of themselves. Of each other. Questions are doorways that lead to higher consciousness… or pop culture trivia. Both are good. Join in.
1) Please lift a badge from below and drop it into your post or side bar. This is optional, of course. But it’s good karma.
2) If you don’t want to pimp out your post with a badge, please mention with a link, that the Q was inspired by DanielleLaPorte.com. Again, optional good karma.
3) If you’d like to link back to my site, we’ll tell the world that you too are pensive and thoughtful, and they can check out your answer to the Burning Question. Link love. You can do so at the bottom of each post I publish.

Make a list of what you desire. Easy, right? More love, money, time, tenderness, play, money, comfort, power, freedom, culture, entertainment. You can get really specific with particular areas of your life, like, “I want to laugh more with my man.” Or “I want an additional $500 every pay period.” Or, “I want to spend...
Things are heating up with my Huffington Post gig: 30 Days To Fire Up Your Creative Genius. Every day offers a new question + a short sermon-video, and some days have additional worksheet content — which I especially love.

Rory was one of those big thinkers with the best of intentions. Lots of friends. Plenty of ideas. Sweet soul that she is, her money situation was always a mess. Rory and I were talking about earning money and I slipped this question in, ’cause I just had a feelin’: “So, where in your life...

I did some business and marketing strategy with a woman who introduced herself simply as “an athletic coach.” So I figured she was a freelance coach with a few local clients. It turned out that she actually had a crew of coaches working under her that she had trained in her own licensable methodology. She...
It was the first time I ever had to fire someone. I was working for The Body Shop, Canada. I had good reason to believe some staff were pilfering the Peppermint Footcream and for other loser-related reasons, they needed to be sent walking. I had a great boss, Clea. I still think of her management...

My superhero name is Agent Now. I particularly like the alliteration en Francais: L’Agent Maintenant. My special power is seeing into the now so deep that I can see the past and the future. I laugh a lot because there is always a reason to laugh. I cry a lot because there is...
When someone has the good sense and conviction to stop doing what’s not working for them, well, it calls for a national holiday. The brilliance of simplification needs to be celebrated! It often goes like this: I’m going to stop: “Being stingy with myself.” “Worrying what others will think of me and just go...
There’s a story my friend Pasha told me about about a mythic band of magic-loving Irish folk. Feeling the call for newness, they would forge out to settle on a new island. Necessarily, they would make the journey by ship. When they arrived to their next land they would unpack — and then promptly burn...
My heart has a long list of things of things that I would like someone else to revolutionize. Like healthcare. Everyone should have it, free; we should focus on prevention not reaction; and we should treat the cause, not the symptoms; emotions should be part of the healing model; I could go on, except, I...
I used to buy into the whole concept of The One. You know…The One…your loverly soulmate. All perfectly cut to fit your mold.

Feelings are magnetic. So it goes that if you generate certain feelings — and you have the power to create any feeling you desire — then you increase the power of your emotional magnetism. But we need to limber up, loosen the images and adjectives encrusted on our goals and most-desired states. It helps to...
