Weight of the World

Make no mistake your relationships are the heaviest components in your life. All those negotiations and arguments and secrets, the compromises, George Clooney famously said in the movie Up in the Air. Clooney used a backpack as a brilliant metaphor for our lives in this epic movie, concluding our relationships weigh us down far greater […]

Meditation Myths & Misconceptions

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Reflections, Spiritual|April 25, 202027 Comments

Meditation has truly transformed my life in recent years.  But, in sharing this revelation with friends, it rapidly became apparent how misinformed Western culture is.  The most noticeable being a visceral reaction, as if I’d joined a religious cult which worships some weird God or moved to a hippy community with a fresh pair of […]

Extro-Introvert

Posted in: Reflections|April 12, 2020

*Introverts have been practicing social distancing for years! I am an Extroverted Introvert.  Impossible, you may say, how can one claim to possess polar opposite qualities? Well, if we can be Passive Aggressive or Manic Depressive, then why can we also not be both Extroverted and Introverted? They are not mutually exclusive qualities. We are […]

Field of Awareness

Field of Awareness

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle|March 22, 2020

It has been proven we can hold as many as six thoughts in our conscious simultaneously. We are not typically in this state of clarity (or chaos!) but rather more often holding several random thoughts and emotions in our mind without particular focus or specific detail, yet all within our field of awareness. We can […]

Be. Here. Now.

Be. Here. Now.

Posted in: Reflections, Spiritual|January 18, 2020

Mindfulness is your natural state that we all can awaken to. It is not something you need to strive for, can buy, achieve or create; it is already within you. You just need to separate and navigate through the clutter of your mind to discover what has always been within you. This is what makes […]

Disconnect to Connect

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle|January 10, 202021 Comments

Welcome to America’s newest epidemic: our addiction to smartphones.  Our cellphones are so ubiquitous that they are comfortably inserted into the fabric of our daily lives.  The need, the urge, the desire – oh, the pressure! – to stay connected 24/7 is deeply imbedded into our consciousness to the detriment of our quality of life.

The Decline of Dignity

The Decline of Dignity

Posted in: Reflections, Spiritual|January 2, 2020

The demise of dignity is so ubiquitous in our society today that it is literally inescapable on a daily basis. I’m old enough to remember it didn’t used to be this way, but young enough to personally witness this gradual declining trend in slow motion, like lava flowing from a volcano in Hawaii spreading across […]

Passion comes from the risk

~A ship is always safe at shore, but that’s not what it’s built for~ What if you could enter into a new relationship with a guarantee it would not fail? Perhaps a new love affair, a business partnership, or simply your next career choice with a new company. Wouldn’t you take it if you were […]

Live to Forgive

Live to Forgive

Posted in: Healthy Lifestyle, Reflections|November 20, 201936 Comments

Let me begin with the end: no one ever reaches the final stage of their life and thinks “it feels great to still be so angry at him/her.” So how do you forgive someone when every fiber of your being resists? We will all inevitably be wronged multiple times by various degrees in our existence, […]

Fight or Flight

Fight or Flight

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle|November 16, 201922 Comments

Think of a recent time you faced imminent danger, whether real or not, and the automatic response your body triggers. I remember hiking on a trail and turning a corner to face a coyote just 25 feet away.  I immediately tensed up, fists locked and eyes focused with 20/20 vision. All senses were on heightened […]
