ALL ABOUT CONTENTMENT
The concept of contentment has been brewing in my mind. This morning, a friend shared a phenomenal video that was simply beautiful and really helps to redefine the entire concept of what is considered beautiful (you can watch it here. I would only suggest that instead of the title, “Because Who Is Perfect?”, I would suggest, – Read More –
OUTER ILLUSION
Recently, I have been searching for a new gym. Similar to walking into an expensive store (or even an inexpensive one!), I feel there is this process of assessment…the employees seem to look for contextual clues about your ability to afford what they are offering. The size up seems to often be an assessment of – Read More –
I LET IT GO
The following is a true story about Nelson Mandela, as told by Former US President Bill Clinton: “That was pretty smart of you to have your jailers come to the Inauguration and all of that, but let me ask you something… didn’t you really hate them for what they did?” Nelson replied… “Oh, yeah, I – Read More –

But a recent cut reminded me of how the body also knows how to heal itself. Without having to do anything more than use an anti-biotic to prevent infection, I watched a cut on – Read More –
THE ART OF LETTING GO
While reading What is Tao? by Alan Watts, I was struck by an analogy he made of Taoism/Life to the act of a cat falling from a tree. He makes the point that the cat essentially let’s go of itself . During the act of falling, “the cat becomes completely relaxed and lands lightly on the ground. – Read More –
DO WHAT YOU FEAR MOST
I have always loved this song from India.Arie. (In fact, for years it has been the wake-up song on my alarm clock!) As I read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield (which is truly excellent so far!) I am reminded that what we must do what we fear most….for that is what we were most – Read More –
