Merry Christmas

Been a while since I wrote anything here.  Certainly not for lack of anything to say, but certainly due to lack of time to say anything.  So much has changed this past year.  Around this time each year I reflect on the lyrics to Lennon’s iconic song.  “And so this is Christmas, and what have [...]

Last week at this time

Here’s a message I received in an email this morning. I found it interesting and I thought you might too.   Enjoy…       Just think, last week at this time we were all beginning to prep for hurricane Irene. Here we are, one week later and many of us came through unscathed. Amazing. [...]

Judging Success

  Today I received an email from Jeff McBride.  It contained a message from Jordan Wright, a talented artist, both as magical performer and filmmaker.   Judging Success How do you judge yourself and your success?

Praying that they may [...]

The Art of Not Doing

The Ring

June 13, 2010 12:56AM I have decided to sell my fiancée’s engagement ring so that I may make good on the many debts I accumulated when she passed away just a day after I picked it out for her. I have not made this decision lightly for this is the ring that I promised to [...]

I Thanked God

Couldn’t afford to pay my cell phone bill, so I thanked God for giving me the opportunity to become more present in each moment. Car broke down, so I thanked God for giving me the opportunity to help the environment by relying on car pooling. Didn’t have a place to live, so I thanked God [...]
