This morning I woke up and wanted to play Tetris (the 80’s video puzzle game), so I did. As I played, I felt in control of the process. The tiles fell and I quickly put them in place. I breezed through the first eight levels. Even if I misplaced a piece, I had time to – Read More –

FOCUSED ATTENTION
Most of the time it feels like I have a million things to do. I’m very good at adding projects into my life haha However, I find that I am not able to make progress on any of them unless I focus my attention on one task at at time. As I said to a friend – Read More –

SELMA
The march on Selma was a turning point in American history for equal voting rights in the 1960s. I have been a fan of Ava DuVernay’s since I first saw her masterful short film, The Door, which I posted on the site almost two years ago! (You can see it by clicking here.)

CONSOLATIONS
Many weeks ago, a woman [that I didn’t know] approached me in a parking garage and said, “I’m trying to get to your level.” I laughed her comment off with a smile and kept walking. But she continued, following me, and said, “I know it wasn’t easy.” We were walking together now towards the steps – Read More –

RESPONSIBILITY
This morning, in beautiful Maui, I read an awesome quote by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you. In fact, others seem to be bothering you, but it is not others, it is your own mind. I believe this to be true. – Read More –
