In our pursuit for the perfect California location, one question keeps coming up for me – What is enough when it comes to a house? Besides the “where”, there is the “what” as in what do we need when it comes to a floor plan. Two bedrooms, three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 2 baths? 1,000 sq.Continue reading “What is Enough”

To Rent or To Return
The cost of renting a home in southern California is, well shocking. How do most people out here do it? You have the posh, three blocks from the beach, types of homes that fetch $6K to $8K per month. You have small California style bungalows fetching $4K to $6K. And the price doesn’t drop thatContinue reading “To Rent or To Return”
Collapse
I find myself in a place of collapse as I write this blog. I feel a bit depressed, while at the same time, stirred up as I’m looking to relocate to southern California. I’m uncomfortable inside of me; not feeling my power. I experience “collapsing” as a human quality and I believe most of usContinue reading “Collapse”
Fellowship
“The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.” ― C.S. Lewis I recently sat (meditated) with a group in a fellowship circle. The question that was put to the group prior to the meditation was this – “what does it feel like to be inContinue reading “Fellowship”

One Man’s Trash
8:35 am and the driveway is a small marketplace. Dishes, a weed wacker, a pair of heavy duty waders, all the stuff that we have collected over the years as homeowners. One dollar? Two dollars? How much do you want to pay? As I watch things leave in exchange for cash, I am amazed howContinue reading “One Man’s Trash”
Daily Prompt: Fragile
I dream I am dying. My last breath held tight, not wanting to let go. The primitive urge to survive racing through my brain and sinew. I know I have to let go, but can’t. I want to live for one more day! Why here? Why now? I’ve read that the death journey is mostContinue reading “Daily Prompt: Fragile”
Spirits in the Material World
Recently, a man quietly left this world while meditating. This man – who shall remain anonymous – left behind a body of work and a school, as a legacy to his time here on this planet. To create such a gift for the world is precious. His corpus of spiritual content, I believe to beContinue reading “Spirits in the Material World”
