The editorial-self
A close friend and partner used this term years ago: editorial self. And at once I understood, a brief flash of light. The editors-self is the you that everyone sees as you navigate your day. It's the you at home with your partner or rather who you want your partner...
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...

Awareness: Self-Awareness
With this post, I’m beginning a tagged series about Self-Awareness. My hope is to share actual experiences and insights into my own self-awareness with minimal editing and allow everyone to see the questions I ask myself through the process. Awareness is a process;...

How to start a meditation practice
Set aside at least 30-minutes and find a quiet place to reduce distractions; if all you have is 15 minutes, a coffee break, time for a quick snack – use that. Time – Give yourself some time where there is nothing you must do or nothing immediately next; 30...
What does Mindful really mean, anyway?
Mindful is a deep awareness. To be fully emersed in NOW. It’s that simple and that complex.
The First Step
The first step is simple and yet hard. Stop trying to change, stop trying to make changes, stop trying to push through, stop everything; and take a deep breath and be aware. Be aware of inner thoughts. When you wake in the middle of the night, what do you hear? In the...
The Busy Mind
3am again and the mind literally has "a mind of its own." For years, a few hours of restless sleep followed by a thinking mind at 3am - why always the same cycle? Sound familiar? It seemed to never stop. The idea of being still was so foreign, it was...
In the beginning . . .
In the beginning it was not clear where to start or even how to get started. The long journey at that point was not that unique. Seemingly typical childhood, traditional religious roots, worked and went to college, married by 22, kid by 28, lots of busy...
