We are so used to seeing our grocery store and department stores filled to capacity. Anything and everything we want, there for our choosing. So what happens when we no longer have access to the “niceties” we have so grown accustomed too? Can you live smaller?

Fear and loathing in the USA
I was recently pointed to an article in the New Yorker called “Doomsday Prep for the Super Rich”. The article talks about how Silicon Valley executives and their colleagues on Wall Street have been quietly preparing for an array of potential apocalyptic events. So when the SHTF, they’re bailing out! There are over 7ContinueContinue reading “Fear and loathing in the USA”
Today’s Thoughts
Transformation happens when we face that which scares us most. A quick glance inside typically won’t do. Transformation is also about getting in contact with our desires; connecting and acknowledging that which burns inside of us.

What does the “quality of character” mean to you?
We turn our heads when we see things that are uncomfortable to us – someone berating a child, someone committing a violent act against another person or property – we simply look the other way. On a national level, we seem to unflinchingly ignore the serious characters flaws in our political candidates…whom we elect anyways.ContinueContinue reading “What does the “quality of character” mean to you?”
There are no shortcuts
To get what we want in life takes will, patience and determination; there are no shortcuts.
Our word is everything
Recent events have reminded me of the importance of the word we give, the promises we make, and their connection to our character. What is spoken in goodwill, should not be undone….for any reason.
