Last night as I was doing my walking meditation I saw the waves sparkle under the bright moon. I love to be in the sparkle of life when beauty shines, when life fills us with encouragement, when inspiration flows like a giant endless river.  Lately it seems I have been dancing on the edge of sparkle and uncertainty. I am sure this is where there is much growth but sometimes the uncertainty can weigh heavily on the mind. When it does, I have to remind myself that happiness is just a choice... Read Full Story

Two days ago I was doing my morning meditation and a flash of insight came to me. This insight tied together so much of what I have been thinking about lately. A few months before making our move to the Oregon Coast a friend of my wife (Thanks Elizabeth) paid for her to have a reading from an astrologer she really believed had something special to offer. The reading seemed very timely and supportive of the major shift my wife Bobbi and I were making with our move and our stepping into the... Read Full Story

This is something that is important to realize in your own life. When you are suffering, most of the suffering is caused by your own thoughts .

There is no one else you can blame for how you feel.   Your feelings come from your thoughts about what is going on in your life. If you play the blame game for... Read Full Story

At the heart of what I do, I always have peace as my goal. I believe it is time for all of us to have peace inside and peace in the world. Peace is possible and all that is needed is more love and compassion, more light and consciousness. Also helpful is the simple realization that we are all connected to each other, one big family on a small dot of a planet in an ever expanding universe.  On my desk is this inspirational quote by Mahatma Gandhi: First they ignore you, Then they...
