An assortment of short pieces, old and new, about life, business, and the pursuit of being more wise, loving, present, and in a state of grateful flow in life!
The Passing of Time and Times…
A friend of mine died this weekend. It was sudden and the details don’t matter. This news felt like a kick in the gut, I literally felt all the blood rush to my head as [...]
Man’s Arrogance
I heard this just today... it's mans supreme arrogance that he can screw up his life. I believe in divine order and that all suffering stems from human attachment and ego. At least that's my [...]
That Path of Good Intentions…
Some days I feel that life is quite random and then others, entirely planned, the universe having it’s perfect reaction to shift and turn us where we need to go, where we need to wake [...]
Debbie Reynolds said it…
I heard it....in the 1955 film entitled, 'The Tender Trap.' 'If you have a plan, and believe in your plan, you'll get what you want.' If Debbie said it, I believe it....even though it was [...]
‘One must still have chaos in oneself…

There by the Grace of God Go I….
Isn't it the truth. How many times have I known, for SURE, that angels were hovering about me as I did one stupid thing or another....drove like a maniac and should have run head long [...]
