Be. Here. Now.

Be. Here. Now.

Posted in: Reflections, Spiritual|February 5, 2023

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 […]

Angel With Broken Wings

Angel With Broken Wings

Posted in: Random, Reflections|February 4, 2023

She came to me in the dead of winter, emerging like an angel in the fog on a freezing February morning. I was on a walk in the park, lost in my own little world, as she crashed into me. Our eyes locked, an unguarded moment, revealing pain buried deep behind the mascara of her […]

Surrender to the Resistance

Surrender to the Resistance

Posted in: Healthy Lifestyle, Random, Reflections, Spiritual|January 13, 2023

Life is not easy without inner peace. But so many of us have it backwards as we try to change our external world in the hope of creating a peaceful life.  The reality is that when we find peace inside ourselves, the external world matters far less. We tell ourselves: if I can just get […]

2022 was a mixed bag after the dumpster fire of 2021. The pandemic continues to adversely affect our norms of daily life but we have learned to coexist with it.  Proponents of the Big Lie were overwhelmingly rejected by the American people in the midterm elections perpetrated by the worst President in American history. Climate […]

Holy Days For The Soul

***Holidays originates from Holy Days, a time for spiritual reflection*** Life is far too complex to compartmentalize your activities into three broad categories, and certainly during these challenging times in the age of a pandemic.  But it may be helpful to consider the motive behind all your endeavors and the ultimate benefit you derive as […]

The Collapse of Community Connection

The Collapse of Community Connection

Posted in: Growth & Change, Random, Reflections|September 12, 2022

*Reposting with the hope that we will yearn for and desire a renewed connection with community now that life is returning to normal* I was walking out of a supermarket when a homeless man pushing a shopping cart caught my attention in the far corner of my eye. He was hard to ignore, talking – […]

Hear Your Heart

Hear Your Heart

Posted in: Inspiration, Random, Reflections|August 29, 2022

The overarching theme of my humble website here is to explore the connection between Mind, Body and Soul. But I so often witness, and personally experience, the dynamic between Mind and Heart that it’s worthy of a discussion. There can be a constant tug-of-war between Mind vs Heart that is typically no contest as the […]

Humility

If the task of the first half of life is to put yourself out there to experience the world, the mandate of the second half is to make sense of where you have been and discover who are truly are.  Your first love, travel adventures, career, marriage, children – virtually all of life’s major experiences […]

Impermanence

***Dedicated to my dear Mother, rest in peace, who passed away exactly one year ago*** It is human nature to resist change and loss.  We prefer to keep things the same, often to our detriment.  We hold on to – even cling to – toxic relationships, bad jobs, unhealthy lifestyles.  The main driver for resistance […]

What Dogs Can Teach Us

Posted in: Healthy Lifestyle, Reflections, Spiritual|January 2, 2022

We can learn a lot from our furry four legged friends. Just observe how they stop to smell the roses on a walk, fully in the moment, as their mindless owner has their head buried in their phone, texting or updating their Facebook page. Dogs are fully alert, using all sensory perceptions to smell, see […]
