I was recently talking to a friend and I uttered the following phrase: “I’m turning over a new leaf and I’m just not going to let _____ get to me anymore.” Whoa. Powerful statement, huh? In the spirit of this brand-new decade, I will even dare to say that it even sounds a little resolution-y,… Continue reading Resolving To…

I want to introduce a different sort of concept on this eve of a new year. Different from resolutions but also, very much the same. I firmly believe that the quiet spaces are where we actually find ourselves. The downtime, separation, and solitariness of any particular moment in time or any stretch of time, gives… Continue reading A Silent Celebration.

The holiday season is upon us, again. I can’t believe it. I am not quite ready to tackle the whole new year business but I’d like to speak to this time of year generally. It’s tough. Right? I mean it’s good, but in so many ways it’s tough. Obligations, expectations, and short, dark days. Don’t… Continue reading Cheery and Weary.

This post is going to be a little bit different from the others I’ve crafted as of late. Same person, same sentiments, but a little less specific than the situations I’ve often described and addressed.  I recently read a book (title alludes me unfortunately, but I’m not quoting) whereas one of the main characters expresses… Continue reading Chill.

When you see a baby learn to walk for the first time, they often gaze forward with a look of determination and hope. I don’t know the science of it all and I am not going to claim to on any level but, from my seat I’ve always felt that the baby was seeking the… Continue reading Who Doesn’t Like a Lil’ Sparkle?

Whenever a holiday approaches of any sort, I find myself being asked by those surrounding me [and inquiring in return] what I am doing for said holiday. Thanksgiving is rather unremarkable in that regard except that ‘what are you up to’ is often paired with another question. Notably, folks are usually curious as to whether… Continue reading Thanks From The Bottom of My Shallow and Loving Heart.

I have been fortunate to travel extensively over the course of my 39 years on this planet. My travel started at an early age thanks to my bad-ass wanderlusty parents and has steadily continued; ranging from day trips to mid-state New York to hiking in the Swiss Alps.  I haven’t often traveled with friends and… Continue reading A Trip Down Hazard Lane.

Have you ever been in a situation where someone does ________ and you feel special and then you realize the ___________ has been shared with others and suddenly you don’t feel so special anymore? I was thinking personally when I crafted that statement, but the same can apply professionally. For example, let’s say you are… Continue reading You ARE Special. Period. End of Story.

A friend of mine recently came back from a two week vacation. When I asked her how it was she immediately responded as follows: “I think I gained 20 pounds”. I instantly felt dismayed because this is the same self-deprecating and depressing phrase that has been uttered by many a friend, co-worker, acquaintance, and family… Continue reading Body of Truth

I think I’ve articulated this before but my musical interests and tastes are fairly eclectic. I’ve learned that people don’t like this fact because they take it as wishy-washy, non-committal, etc. Where I am concerned it is just my truth. Different music speaks to me at different times. The music I enjoy during a run… Continue reading The Most Profound Trust Exercise.
