Recently a friend of mine went to an all-day meeting, a panel discussion. We met after, and as we sat at a charming bistro -one needs to balance a heavy discussion with surroundings that please – she began talking about her very. very busy day. It’s easy to sense when a person has [...]
Anna Nicole Smith died. We’re all going to die one day. I haven’t heard anything to the contrary. I don’t know a lot about the life of Anna Nicole, only the rumors, don’t know what was in her heart. I heard that she came from poverty. It’s not necessary to know more, and why is [...]
The word is out that so many of the opinions we 1) hold to our bosom 2) defend at the expense of losing a friend 3) keep us in a prison of our own making 4) sometimes lose our life over – are not our own. What a neat [...]

Last week I was that annoying person on a cell phone in a public place. The phone call went on, and although I could have ended it, it would have set the wrong tone for resuming the conversation at a later time. So, I didn’t end it. However, it was easy to sense that those [...]
Eckhart Tolle writes over and over that, “The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.” This has been written in many languages, in untold ways, in areas all over the world, since ancient times. And it appears that it’s true. But the only way we’ll know for sure whether [...]
