  • Reflection

    Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful. Margaret J. Wheatley Being here in Los Angeles gives my sense of reality a run for its money. In Minnesota where my house and other two children are at, they are in the middle of a typical… Read more

  • Emptying my mind

    I am moving from one mind to another. It is winter, the season we delve into our deepest darkest parts and I in all of this winter time silence am surrounded by my thoughts. As it is the start of a brand new year I am trying to look at tired beliefs in the form… Read more

  • Now what

    Ok so it’s 2013, looks like we made it and all of that jazz. We lived through all of the scary dates like 11-11-11, 12-12-12, and the end date of the Mayan calendar 12-21-2012. Whew that was close!  And because of all of the hoop-la, I am expecting great things from 2013. I just know… Read more

Questions questions questions! What is the answer? Where do we go for answers? And do we even get to have the… Read more

  • Someplace else

    Last year at this time I was in Paris, ahhh, Paris. The holidays can be hard and it is not that much fun to celebrate by yourself, right! So in order to combat the usual holiday blahs I turn them into a time of adventure. I take the sting out of solitary holiday time by… Read more

  • Smart Asses

    Ok, I get it, all the world is a stage but some people just need to get off the said stage. I am so tired of smart ass remarks. I swear Jerry Seinfeld ruined everything by creating smart asses across the world and now they are torturing us all with their pithy statements. I say… Read more

  • Keeping silent

    I love this image it is so telling about the notion of keeping silent. Keeping silent like in the picture can seem like something negative, tape over the mouth, do not talk. Equally for me is the image of her awareness of the power and choice of when to keep her silence or use her… Read more
