At about 4am this Saturday, January 25, 2014 there will be a shift in the universe. You might not feel is where you live, and it might not be the lead story on the news radio station, but I will tweet about it. The fact will cause a stir! For the first time in 22 […]
I should be flattered, all day long people have been asking, “Where’s the blog?” Why I promised I would post every Wednesday I will never know? But I do know! I’m lazy and if I didn’t make the commitment I would blog a few times then life would get in the way and weeks and […]
The long line to board the ferry resulted in a chat with the young woman next to me. First about the horrendous amount of “walk-ons”, then bemoaning that being at the end of the line there would be no seats and we would probably be sitting on the floor for the journey. It was January […]
I cover myself with a veil. If you look carefully you can see it but to most it’s hidden or maybe invisible. On January 1st at dawn’s first light I can be found at a ceremony reaffirming my pervasive intent. Reaffirming my basic nature, or at least the nature I aspire to… my Buddha Nature. […]

So many times in the media, and even with the people I talk to every day, the notion of being “politically correct” rears its head. Where do we draw the line? I wanted to share a very funny story about a card I made for a client. I have been so busy these past few […]
Somehow Aaron Sorkin’s words are making a bigger impact on me now more than ever before. And mostly it’s the famous Leo Quote…. You know the one… “This guy’s walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can’t get out. A doctor passes by and the guy […]
Hanging in my front entry is a handmade poster. Right there for everyone to see. It’s hideously personal yet out on display. A “vision board” I created during a course with the inspirational Kelly Benson. It’s a montage of the dreams, hopes, aspirations and goals I hope to accomplish. A tapestry of pictures from magazines, […]
Not much time to write this week… and today was busy, capped off with seeing Ian Rankin speak at an event this evening. Always nice to chat with Ian! Even he enjoyed the story about how we first met… (Second part of the Rankin trilogy that appears in my book) Confirmation I wanted to know. […]
The stage was set. A car parked under the awning at the foot of the stairs. A man stood next to it as if guarding the space. This seemed required as many people were beginning to gather. Thrangu Rinpoche, spiritual teacher and head of this monastery was on his way back to India, his home […]
