amyhoney June 5, 2024 June 16, 2024Meet The Authors

“The inner genius may inspire, but it is the outer guru that truly nourishes our souls"

During a recent Amazon Live session, Jamie and I had the pleasure of discussing celebrated Indian writer Avadhi Dhruv’s latest book “Inner Genius Outer Guru.” This thoughtful work promises to be a guide for tapping into your own innate sources of creativity, intuition and self-knowledge. Though Avadhi is renowned for her award-winning poetry collections, “Inner Genius Outer Guru” takes readers on a different kind of inward journey. Drawing from her own experiences and philosophical reflections, Avadhi gently encourages us to go quiet to the external voices and instead attune to the guru or wise guide residing within each of us. Viewers can email team@avadhi.guru and request their FREE copy of the digital companion workbook (valued at $15) when they purchase a copy of the book – Inner Genius Outer Guru. (Amazon Affiliate Link). Put “FREE workbook” in the subject of the email. The book is structured around a series of thematic meditations that examine the societal conditioning, doubts and mental obstacles that can obstruct our authentic expression. With Avadhi’s lyrical yet down-to-earth prose, she beckons us back to a state of presence, trust in ourselves, and childlike wonder about the world around us. “We are born as bundles of genius and curiosity,” Avadhi Dhruv writes. “Somewhere along the way, we learn to douse that inner light and mute our most intuitive selves to conform to others’ expectations and beliefs.” Throughout the chapters, she shares insights and practices for reclaiming that inner luminosity. Avadhi draws from a rich well of traditions—from…

Please Vote To Honor Those That Fought For Your Right to Vote

amyhoney November 6, 2022 October 19, 2024Amy Jo Honey, MEME's

I have a huge confession to make. I never voted until I turned 39 years old. I didn’t really understand our history, I had no idea women weren’t allowed to own a credit card until the laws changed in 1974. Only married women could own a credit card. And I had no idea that women weren’t allowed to apply for their own business loan UNTIL 1988!!! I had no idea womens rights were that far behind. After all, I had been raised by a very misogynistic society. So, misogyny just felt normal. Until my adult daughter began pointing it out to me, I have to admit, I was naive. I was also taught that if you were a woman that fought for the rights of other women, then you were a feminist. And feminists were bad. They are gay, and they hate men. Of course, I don’t believe that, but, the misogynists in my family really REALLY wanted me to believe that. I’m pretty sure I’m making them cringe with this very post right now. ‘Okay, here she goes.’ And as far as voting…… who had time to learn about who all these people were? I just felt unqualified. So, voting wasn’t for me. My parents never really explained, and I was just told that polite girls never talk about politics or religion. Now I’m pretty sure my dad just knew I would vote opposite…

Three Things You Should Do Before You Speak

amyhoney November 5, 2022 October 19, 2024Amy Jo Honey, MEME's, Mindset

I believe it was Socrates that initially said this. The Three Things You Should Do Before You Speak, is you should run it through these three filters, or ask yourself these 3 questions. Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? This is a great rule to live by! This can ensure you never put your own foot in your mouth. LOL! But, seriously, could you imagine the kind of world we could all live in if we all did this? It would be pretty cool, huh?
