It’s not about understanding and knowing it all, but about honoring where you are. A few weeks ago, I listened to this TED talk by Julia Galef. In summary, she discusses about cultivating the mindset of curiosity, like a scout in the military. The scout’s role is to understand, to see what’s out there, and[…]

There’s nothing wrong with you
What if I told you today, there’s nothing wrong with you? Would you furrow your brow and try to argue that yes…there is something wrong with you.

These 5 things will get you through confusing times (I hope)
I’ve been on a roller coaster the past 10 days or so. Anyone else out there feel this? Like, not on a summer vacation at a theme park, but on an emotional roller coaster? OK, cool…nice to know I’m not the only one. Last week, in the Northern hemisphere, we had this big Summer Solstice–full[…]

During my vacation, I was taking time to regain focus and rest and celebrate my son[…]
Loving yourself through life’s transitions
I did it! I made a second VLOG for you. I’m really enjoying this version of bringing a message straight to your ears and heart. Today’s vlog theme is loving yourself through life’s transitions.

Contentment is my practice today
Hello dear one. I’m trying out vlogging (video logging or video blogging). I still love to write, so this vlog-ing may stick around or it may be a once in a lifetime thing. Either way, I hope you can take about 10 minutes to listen in to my musings on a theme in my life[…]
