WHO ARE THESE GUYS??!! Dear Reader, Yeah, I know, it’s been a while. No “excuse” really. It’s not as though I haven’t been thinking about things (too much probably), but I reckon I’ve been in that place where, because I don’t know whether anyone actually reads this stuff, I figured: “why post your thoughts? It’s… Continue reading Who ARE These Guys??!!

On Letting Go…
“Real happiness doesn’t come from getting things. Real happiness comes from letting go”. (Pam Weiss) A year or two ago I was attending one of the regular Wednesday night SF Insight group classes led by Pam Weiss, my coaching – (and important spiritual) teacher. Have I ever mentioned in any of my posts that most… Continue reading On Letting Go…
Happy? Who…ME??
What is “happy” exactly? How will we ever know we have it, unless we understand what it means for us – for each one of us?

A Reality Check
Hello Dear Reader, Jambo! Soo good to be back with you! I’ve missed you.

Her words, below, are… Continue reading No Regrets…
Just Google It Already!

Only this time, I had this thought: What if Rodin had Google? Would this statue even exist? Would he have had… Continue reading Just Google It Already!
Gratitude – Basic Hygiene For the Heart
Are current events getting to you? Getting you down? They are me. Just a few recent items: The “killers in high places” (as Leonard Cohen calls them) are still murdering their citizens; priests and football coaches are abusing their kids; the black rhino is now extinct; our “leaders” are arguing like children while our… Continue reading Gratitude – Basic Hygiene For the Heart
Beyond Comprehension
Hello sweet reader, Soo good to be back with you again. We are just back from an amazing trip to Turkey, where we had a memorable experience in lots of ways.

Making Friends With Change
Hello dear Reader. It’s good to be back with you. I know it’s been a while, but I don’t like to pester you with a bunch of words based on some artificial schedule as in: “Oh, it’s been 2 weeks, gotta write something.” My words to you, for better or worse, come from my heart… Continue reading Making Friends With Change
