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 […]

***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 […]

Angel With Broken Wings

Angel With Broken Wings

Posted in: Random, Reflections|February 11, 2022

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 5, 2022

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 […]

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 […]

2021 was a dumpster fire, building off the bonfire started in 2020. The pandemic continued to obliterate all our norms of daily life and continues to rage on with yet another surge now.

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 […]

*{Upon leading a few informal sessions and discovering all the misperceptions we have of Meditation, my hope is the following may be helpful to summarize the essence of why people are drawn to it and how to make sense of all the noise}* Welcome.

Nature Nurtures Us

Nature Nurtures Us

Posted in: Growth & Change, Healthy Lifestyle, Random, Reflections|November 25, 2021

The combination of COVID, winter fast approaching and technology has created a dangerous trifecta: we never have to or feel the need to leave our house again. We can shut it all down, quarantining, binging on Netflix and YouTube videos. We can work from home, zooming our colleagues and clients. Every restaurant delivers and groceries […]

A Pause for Reflection

Posted in: Growth & Change, Random, Reflections|November 12, 2021

*Reposting a commentary on my inner state before my profound shift in awareness* I am going through a profound transformation. It is a journey I had no awareness I was embarking on but, in hindsight, now seemed necessary for me to evolve and grow. We are all so conditioned and habitual in our daily routine […]
