Life in the Rear View Mirror
Looking through the rear-view mirror of inquiry over my lifetime (so far), I have come to believe that in the mysteries of our lives, there are two key elements which guide you: inspiration and wellness. Each discipline I studied, in whatever technical language that it was presented, delivered that message consistently: “All of life is an evolving grand mystery, so do what inspires you and be fit, or well enough, to do it.” The Starting Point: Life is a Mystery. I am constant

A Preamble - Back at Work - A 2018 Epiphany
My eyes blinked open at 5:00 AM, adrenaline rushing. It is January 2nd, 2018, time to go back to work after the long Christmas break. Last year was full of surprises. The Incredible Power of Inspiration: Creating the Life You Yearn For was released to a world-wide audience. It was my first book and I felt great pride in the accomplishment. I hoped it would change the lives of millions of people seeking to better themselves and live into the lives they deeply desire. I st

The Value of Spacing Out
I love to sit in my 'cup of joe' spot and just think. In the privacy of my very big, grey wing-back chair I don't pay any attention to all the confetti blowing through the landscape of my mind.

Staying Grounded in the 'New Normal'
Every day is a new day in 2017 United States of democracy. Our 'todays' look different than our 'yesterdays' with tomorrow portending ever more surprises as democracy continues to be reshaped before our eyes. Here today...gone tomorrow is "truth, justice and the American way" as we once knew it. We struggle to stem the tide of public aggression, racism, misogyny, corporate elitism, foreign influence and fake news. Even documented footage of newsworthy events that captured

Ever Ask Yourself: Who Am I In the Matter of it All?
I've been mulling over a troubling problem ever since Trump got elected. When Trump won the election in 2016 a funny 'hollow' feeling swept through me like a tsunami: first surprise, then shock, and finally an emptiness that spread through my nervous system. I felt like I was entering a cultural frontier where no one really knew what to expect when Trump would take office. How would this surprising and unknown new reality manifest itself in the world - and in my life - in

Why did I write THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF INSPIRATION?
The idea to write this book came to me during an evening when several of my friends and I - some admittedly only acquaintances - were sitting in my back yard drinking Prosecco and watching the late afternoon sun go down. As my friends were talking I began to notice a chilling social process in play: one person would complain about something in their lives - like a crabby spouse - and the others, swirling their wine glasses like a Napa connoisseurs, offered up their analyses

Life is a balancing act. Balance wisely. Live fully.
