Awareness: A small part of me
“It’s only a small part of me.” “I never really understood why they focus on such a small part of me; such a small part of my life.” These words rang in my brain all day and still linger in my thoughts this morning. Now as I sit in a local coffee shop, the...
Taking a break: Here’s a Permission Script
I took a break or rather, I gave myself permission to take a break. So, if you need permission, then download this Rx Script. Years ago, I was chatting with a friend who was contemplating a quick return business around Christmas. His idea was simple: purchase boxes...
Broken Vases: Struggle and Recovery
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” James Baldwin Life loops, same struggles. A vase broken, repaired, broken, repaired. A precious treasure: each repair valuable, each beautiful. Shards and glue, puzzle and...
Awareness: Living on a data island
You live on your own data island, or rather your individualized version of the Internet. This may not be obvious, given the billions of sites of content and your experience; and yet it is true nonetheless; especially for any site that advertises. Historically, search...

Awareness: Mindful Sadness

Awareness: Two experiences, same day.
Today, two experiences – similar places, very difference responses. The first was receptionist was difficult and nitpicking; and while staying in the Moment, the Now, I was able to remain considerate, the experience took hours for a 10-minute endeavor. The second, the...
Are you ever Still? (part 1)
When was the last time you honestly were still? How did it feel? Were you anxious? Nervous? Did you pick-up your phone or turn on the TV or find some other distraction? Were you actually still? Did you mind go into overdrive? Reliving...
Awareness: Identity
“So, what do you do?” How many times have you been asked that question? And had the conversation devolve into a discussion that is nominally about the askers self-importance. Yet, at the core of the question is a deeper question? “What is my identity?” Or...
Mind Loops
Be honest, does your brain constantly chatter? Sometimes, my brain does and it is so annoying. However, these mind-loops are a rich source of information about your internal and emotional landscapes. Especially those that are playing in the middle of the night or when...

Nothing New
Everything I’m going to say in this blog is not new. It has been said before in nearly every culture and religion, and in every way humanly possible. If there is any “new” message it might be this: it is easier to seek, than to practice. I, and likely you too, live...
Destination Thinking
I am deeply aware that the 1st half, or rather most of my life, was lived in destination thinking. “What is this destination thinking?” It is a life that is always lived for something in the future, a future time or place. It’s easy to spot. It sounds...
