Got some news today that a situation I’m enjoying in my life will probably end in about a month. I won’t go into detail except to make two observations:
Going into it, I was aware of the possibility that it could end soon. So I chose to be present and enjoy every moment as much as [...]

When I feel like I “can’t deal” with facing things I don’t want to face — uncertainty, choices I know are good for me but scare me, taking action on big goals outside my comfort zone, etc. — I hide in two different places:
I escape — Whether it’s into a movie, or a beer, or [...]

I’ve been sleeping less each night in the past 3 weeks than I’m used to (and doing more while awake), and I’m seeing how much more difficult it is to stay centered and be peaceful and joyful when my body is tired.
Not that I’ve become some flighty and negative jerk. Just that peace and [...]

When I talk about me being peace, it doesn’t mean that I don’t feel emotions like fear, doubt, anxiety, etc.
I do feel them. Especially now with all of the changes and new experiences I described the other day.
The difference is that I’m aware of the emotion as an emotion and not who I am. I [...]

Today I threw a big pile of papers into the recycling bin.
What makes that meaningful to me is that this was a pile of papers I’ve had sitting next to my desk for over a year. In it were countless business ideas, notes, plans, etc. which I’ve been telling myself “I’ll get to someday.”
It’s been [...]

After over 5 months of consecutive daily posts, I’ve posted twice in the past two weeks.
The uncertainty in my life has increased more in these two weeks than I could have imagined when I began these 100 Days of Peace in Uncertainty:
My best friend died.
I’m in that exciting, yet uncertain beginning stage of a new [...]

From the song Some Things Are Not As They Seem by Scott Foster:
It was early morning when they told me you were gone
Through a glassy-eyed expression, nothing left to say
As I washed my hands of the grief I felt a sinking in my heart
Still can’t help to feel losing you is so unreal
Felt like giving [...]

Source of inspiration: Morgana Rae interview
Yesterday I caught a clip of financial alchemist Morgana Rae discussing how she changed her relationship to money. She went from thinking of it as a villain to a handsome suitor, and after that her whole experience of money was different. Right away I had the idea of putting that [...]

Source of inspiration: The Mastery of Love by don Miguel Ruiz
Ruiz writes about the Toltec teaching that life is a dream. This is not new to me as a concept. But today as I was reading about it, I had an experience of it that is new.
I assumed that my waking experience of life was [...]

Sometimes I feel an acute separateness from other people. I can be walking down the street or interacting with a cashier, and I feel almost alien. As if other people are living real lives and I’m just pretending or something. It’s difficult to describe. And while it’s happening, there seems to be this internal struggle [...]

Wow, roller coasters are a lot different than they were the last time I rode them (about 15 years ago). Higher and faster, yes. But also the many different ways you are seated. The Superman coaster, for example, puts you on your stomach like you’re flying.
It was interesting to bring a present-focused perspective to the [...]

Today I’m going to Six Flags Great Adventure, a theme park, with a whole bunch of friends.
My intention is to embrace the name of the park and experience a great adventure full of joy, gratitude, and wonder. This worked so well a few months ago that I want to try it again (and why I [...]

Not sure what today’s post is about. But I figured, what better way to find out than to write it, right?
I have a full day of appointments today. I find I have mixed feelings about days like this. I love meeting with my clients, so what’s nicer than a day full of clients? [...]

Today was a bit more challenging. I was in some group settings, and the group dynamic made it easier in one way and harder in another.
It was easier to say, “I love you, guys” to the group. There was very little fear, if any.
But it was harder (so hard I didn’t do it) to say [...]
