For whatever reason, I’ve gotten away from meditating. Meditation was first introduced into my daily routine fourteen months ago by my yoga professor at Seton Hall. I made meditation part of my routine – and it stayed that way until I moved to DC. The busier that I got with work, the less time I [...]

why?

I’m really in need of a good, new book. I think it’s time for some Chopra. With that intention in mind, I checked out Deepak’s blog. The latest entry was called, “Why did I do that?”
We spend our lifetime creating reasons for our actions – but in reality, our motivations are complex webs of biology, [...]

Jesus told us to do unto others as we want done to ourselves. Buddha took it a step further and said consider others as yourself.
In truth, there is no distinction between ourselves and others. Separation is an illusion perpetrated by society and our senses. We cultivate egos and identities. But we know that [...]

Love is not a thing to understand. Love is not a thing to feel. Love is not a thing to give and receive. Love is a thing only to become And eternally be. .

The Lord’s ways are mysterious. There is something good even in all seeming failures. You are not able to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient. – Sri Swami Sivananda
Our journey takes many directions. The path will twist and turn. It will be easy traveling sometimes, and harder others. Sometimes [...]

It’s a clear, cold and beautiful Monday morning in New York. It’s a holiday, so the roads are quiet. The houses are dark. The city that doesn’t sleep is sleeping.
Long sharp shadows jag their way up, down and across hundred year old brick apartment buildings. The sunshine drips like melted butter.

My buddhist quote of the day read:
Turn your mind away from things which are not permanent. – Buddha
In other words, don’t spend time thinking about things that aren’t real. Anything that is transient isn’t real. All of life is transient; all of life is unreal. Love is [...]

Sometimes, there are times in your life where you are standing at a fork in the road. Sometimes, there are times in your life when you are standing in a road that forks 100,000 ways.

Nick and I really like change. Change is an enabler for growth. Because we like change, we’ve always talked about living in lots of different cities.
Sometimes, you get what you ask for.
A few weeks ago, some coworkers and I were discussing moving the office to Boston – and how much we’d [...]

There is nothing in the whole wide world that I have to do today.
Absolutely nothing.
The day is fresh and new, and it is mine for the creating. It’s a blank canvas onto which I can create my day.
It’s going to be a beautiful day. How couldn’t it be?
