Enlightenment one aha! at a time


WELCOME TO LUCID MOMENTS!
My name is Lynne Whiteley Novy and I’m inviting you to come along with me on a mystery journey that could very well enlighten your life--one aha! at a time. Along the way I’ll show you how the power of your own true story is your immediate magical source for making life changes in the blink of an eye. And yes, I’m saying you can get unstuck. You can get out of your own way.
I know this because I know our ordinary everyday lives contain all the secret ingredients we need for great relationships, creativity, life purpose, love, joy, adventure and all the personal growth we could ever care to imagine. We just need to pay attention to them.
I hope you will join me because I know we’ll have a good time.
To get started, just click that little blue arrow over there under my photo and listen.

New On Lucid Moments

Losing Weight with Oprah Yet Again Losing Weight with Oprah Yet Again

Are you one of us who notices Oprah’s ups and downs in the weight department? Did you see her at the end of last year confess to being fat again, even though we all could see the obvious? Did you tune in early in January when she opened up this year’s weight loss “challenge” with her master coach Bob Green because you, too, had... [Read more..]

Subtle Secret #1: Yellow as the Essence of Joy Subtle Secret #1: Yellow as the Essence of Joy

The first of the Five Subtle Secrets I want to tell you about is The Yellow. And The Yellow is the Joy essence.  I think Rumi best captures the very nature of The Yellow in this simple sentence: “The soul is here for its own joy.” But of course, if the word “joy” said it all for this essential energy, we wouldn’t need to call it The Yellow.... [Read more..]

How to Get What You Just Don’t Get How to Get What You Just Don’t Get

A truly amazing example of what I’d call an open secret showed up in a story I heard awhile back about one of the famous explorers that we all learned about in history class. Except I don’t remember hearing this part back then. It seems that when Magellan sailed the coast of South America into the straits that now bear his name, the natives... [Read more..]

Where Do You Look for Buried Treasure? Where Do You Look for Buried Treasure?

Who doesn’t love a good mystery? Well, maybe everybody doesn’t always like mysteries, especially those times when you happen to be lost in one yourself. I guess nobody likes the kind of mystery that starts off with lines like these: “Why on earth would you do a thing like that?” “Who stole my blue cashmere sweater?” “What... [Read more..]

How to Stop Struggling with Yourself How to Stop Struggling with Yourself

Consider this possibility: What if you woke up one morning, and your left elbow let you know that it was leaving, that it was tired of doing the elbow thing, that it wanted to visit Dubuque or Lima, Peru? What kind of day do you think you’d have? Oh, sure, Elbow would be convincing. She would tell you about her grievance with Wrist and how wronged... [Read more..]

Take a Quantum Leap into Present Time Take a Quantum Leap into Present Time

Imagine a goose. Yes, a goose. Maybe a big fluffy white one. Or if you prefer a pink one, or one with parrot colors. Go ahead and get creative. It’s your goose. Got it? Good. Now imagine your goose sitting in a bottle that’s got a big wide bowl (big enough for your goose to be comfortable). But notice also that the bottle has a long skinny neck... [Read more..]

How to Tell the Simple Truth How to Tell the Simple Truth

So what is the truth anyway? For a long time I was pretty sure that truth was what you got when you confessed to having done something bad. Kind of a George-Washington-I-cannot-tell-a-lie sort of thing. Later, due to the discomfort of the consequences that came along with confession, I got smarter and switched to a variation that I thought would take... [Read more..]
