I wrote recently that I have difficulty allowing the desires of my heart to by fulfilled when it comes to love. This love I seek can be a romantic kind or a familial kind. These are two very deep issues for me based on the history that I continue to remember and claim as my…

This is another story about practicing. Practicing is every bit as important as epiphany. Remember, when you practice you don’t just get better, but the effort becomes easy. I went to the soccer game with my sister last Saturday. As we were sitting in my two season tickets seats, a very brash woman with two…

I went to the gym yesterday and had another interesting encounter as I was boxing. This isn’t a boxing gym, however it does have some heavy bags and a double end bag and this area is open to everyone to see as it is next to the track and across from cardio machines. I love…

I was raised to question everything. This wasn’t a principle introduced by a family or a culture I was raised in such as a church. I got it from ’80s punk rock. Question the government.

When I write these blogs, I am recording the things I am learning. I want to emphasize that I am not trying to teach or preach. The concepts I am learning are truths that I must put into my life. As I said in an earlier blog, the practice and integration of the Truth is…

What is normal? I was thinking about this label of “normal” that we place on people, cultures, environments and things. The answer is everything is normal. We adopt what we see and learn to be normal. Whatever environment we are raised in is normal. What we know as common and uncommon is normal. However, what…

I am reminded today of how curses and superstitions will create self-fulfilling prophesies. Our power of belief is beyond what we give it credit for. We can cast spells or create curses based on convincing others that it will happen. Communal belief is a form of prayer and expectation. It is what can “move mountains”.…
