It’s fourth and critical

Football is not my sport. But I thought it was a fitting analogy for the current circus of an election seeing how there are only seven days left. It’s been a defensive struggle between these two teams with a championship title at stake. The theme of this game has been fumbles. Both sides are attemptingContinueContinue reading “It’s fourth and critical”

Candy or Candid?

The streets echo with little one’s looking forward to a night of goblins and candy. Yes, Halloween is now upon us. Our neighborhood is alive with children (which is unusual, since there seems to be no children the rest of the year). Do we buy candy or slip quietly into the night and turn theContinueContinue reading “Candy or Candid?”

The Art of Cooking

This blog post contains no recipes or food tips. Just to be clear. What I’m talking about when I refer to “cooking” is not about the food we make. What I’m talking about is the slow integration process we experience as human beings when we make a conscious effort to grow ourselves. When we cookContinueContinue reading “The Art of Cooking”

Lesson’s of a good story

“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in heart forever.” – Native American Proverb Stories provided the communal bread from which all people shared within a given culture or community. Stories brought the characters of tales and myths closerContinueContinue reading “Lesson’s of a good story”

I woke up this morning with nothing to write

I went to bed last night full of creative thoughts. I woke up this morning with nothing to write. Only 33 posts into my process and I’m blanking out. I had so much to say (or at least I thought), yet the mind is not working. My morning coffee didn’t jump start me . Yeah,ContinueContinue reading “I woke up this morning with nothing to write”

The Wisdom Path

Almost there. My co-producer, Marcus Acoya, and I just finished the audio portion of a video track that will be used as part of our Kick starter funding page. Why Kick starter? We are trying to build the Wisdom Path podcast series (a brief on the podcast will be posted at the end of thisContinueContinue reading “The Wisdom Path”

Barriers

What are the obstacles or barriers that keeps us from living fully? Have you ever asked yourself this? I have…many times over. Some days, it’s as if there is something standing in the way of me and my wants. The “it” is on the other side and I can’t get there. Well, the “it” isContinueContinue reading “Barriers”

Stepping out into nature

Sometimes all we need is a little space. To breath, think and feel. I ventured out to the Santa Fe Nature Preserve to film some test clips for a project I’m working on. As soon as my vehicle stops, I jump out, gear ready to go, and hit the trail. The air is clean. ContinueContinue reading “Stepping out into nature”

More principles to live by

I really liked how my last blog on principles was received, so here are a few more that I live by: I tell people what I need. I have found that the more I share what I need in my life, the more people respond…positively. So telling people – especially those closest to us -ContinueContinue reading “More principles to live by”

What does it mean to vote?

I just read Seth Godin’s blog today regarding the importance of our vote (Ketchup and the third party problem). His blog basically says that a no vote or third party vote, at this time in history, is a vote for the candidate we most likely don’t want. I get this. But this got me thinkingContinueContinue reading “What does it mean to vote?”
