After two weeks of sickness and flu, I finally felt myself turn the corner today. And with it, I felt the return of something much more important than my bodily health. My sense of gratitude. It came flooding back in as I looked at my beautiful son sleeping on the bed, tangled in [...]
Anyone who has any interaction with the American health care system knows its broken. Or at least they should. Maybe I have a different perspective, because I am a licensed insurance agent, but I don't deal with the mess that is health insurance. (I sell auto, home, and life insurance. Health insurance, I give thanks [...]

All we can control is our reaction to those circumstances. My manager called to say that the Windows upgrade which was originally scheduled for today, and cancelled, is now [...]
It is an odd experience, feeling sick and being cognizant of your own manifestation abilities. I can now see how being sick is a stiff roadblock in my ability to get things manifested according to my vision; I am drowned in a series of negative emotions. My body hurts, my energy is sapped, and my [...]
As I relax here blogging about my life, I am quite stunned at how good everything has become, now that I am allowing myself to relax into life. Into how good it can be. I am getting a massage from my massage chair, typing on my new mac, with a belly full of beef stew [...]
I find it ironic that I now enjoy watered wine. The ancient Greeks, the culture that I studied for most of my higher education, thought it was strange when barbarians would drink their wine unmixed with water. (Barbarians, it must be noted, was a term inclusive of all non-Greeks. They all made funny sounds when [...]
