We are a divided country right now. There appear to be so many reasons we are more committed to holding our ground on opinions we already have than on developing our listening and understanding skills. How did we get here? There have probably been signs pointing in this direction. As individuals we understand that our […]
Asking the Bigger Questions
Have we lost our ability to ask the big questions in pursuit of answers to the little ones? Instead of “Why am I here?” we now ask questions like “How can I get ahead?” We’ve become such a quick-fix society that we don’t recognize those quick fixes are just band-aids and won’t do anything for […]
The Truth …
“The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off.” -attributed to Gloria Steinem Isn’t that the truth.
If not you, then who?
It’s been said that insight without action makes no difference. “To know and not to do is not to know.” (Buddhist proverb) “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupery) “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” (Confucius) “Learning is change. If I haven’t changed, […]
Belonging
When you break down the word “belong,” it can be looked at in a couple of ways. First, it’s possession. Something you own or claim belongs to you. But if you look at it a little differently, belonging can be a longing to BE. And if we’re honest, each of us probably feels or has […]
New Year … New You?

EnJOY Presence
Holidays can be tough for many reasons. However, within each of us is a storehouse of energy just waiting to be tapped. No matter how hectic or chaotic or even depressing the holiday season might be on the outside, taking just a few minutes to reflect and just be will help you tap into that […]
What a coincidence!
Have you ever been thinking about someone and then they just happen to call you? Have you ever had an idea while you’re driving and then look up as all the lights ahead of you turn green? Have you ever been pondering a problem and then the next song on the radio gives you your […]
Hurry up and wait
After my freshman year in college I had a chance to join my basketball teammates as we played 12 games in Europe. It was one of the best experiences of my life up to that point (and in ways, since). Several of the lessons I learned so many years ago stay with me even today. […]
Why bother?
I’m concerned that, given the current state of affairs in America (pick which one), we’re forgetting how to truly communicate with each other. As our trust and honesty seem to whither away, we find ourselves either afraid to say what’s on our minds, or are seemingly unable to communicate in ways that highlight our similarities […]
