Moving On
Okay so we all want to evolve right? We want to move on from the places and things that are not for our highest good. We want to leave behind old “programming” that keeps us going around the same mountain. We want to reach and stretch and live the [...]
It Matters
My birthday was on Earth Day, April 22nd. I had an amazing birthday celebration that went on for days. It was full of life, joy, laughter, family, and good friends. And as I reflect back upon all that “went down”, the birthday experience is now full of so many more [...]
The Heart of the Matter
Have you ever thought about the unknown, as in why the unknown can cause us so much fear, worry, and distress? When we are in a state of fear then the unknown can contain anything….danger, harm, or even death. Though we don’t consciously think of it like this necessarily, this unconscious relationship [...]
Is Suffering Required?
I read something the other day that put words to an inner conversation I’ve been engaging in….an inner inquiry I’ve been having for quite some time. I love to study people. To study myself, to study how we humans do things, how we go through life, what we choose and what we [...]
The Basis of Life
Have you met my dog Liberty? The above is a photo of him. He is a miniature poodle, we think around 9 years old now. We named him Liberty because we wanted to be saying, “Freedom” around our house all the time. We wanted a symbol right there present in front of us [...]

Giving Up
Two nights ago my boys and I watched a TV show called Mega Families. It was a National Geographic documentary on families with 16 or more kids. Not my favorite kind of show and I was in and out of the room while the boys watched. It was kind of hard to watch [...]
Open 24/7
I spent a fun few hours last evening with dear friends. At a beautiful wine garden here in Austin called Opa’s. We laughed, shared stories, and encouraged one another. It was good for my soul. Then I came home and watched the most ridiculous movie with my sons called Joe Dirt. Ever seen [...]
A Healthy Dose
Don’t you just love a good laugh? Don’t you just love a good laugh in those moments when you really are supposed to be quiet? When you are laughing so hard you think you just might snort, and you are working so hard to chill out so you don’t make a scene? Oh [...]
The Freedom Fire
A couple of weeks ago this old song just “randomly” popped into my mind…..more like I was suddenly singing it. It stopped me in my tracks, and I found myself wondering why I was singing it. The song is called Refiner’s Fire, and it’s a prayer to be refined like gold, like [...]
