“We are too often lost in the abyss of unawareness. We regularly miss the energy and blessings around us, and the importance of this very moment. It’s as though we prefer to be elsewhere doing something else, as if we are living in distant time zones, hours behind or ahead of the joyous tick and […]

Spirituality isn’t about “getting stuff.” It’s about sexiness.
I want stuff, who doesn’t want stuff? Now let me be the first to say, my immediate “go to” when I want something, is my spiritual bag of tricks. I’ll chant, meditate, intend, call out, puja, homa, divine in, and use every tool, practice and resource I have out of thousands of hours of experience […]

If all we ever did was what is explained in the video below, we’d unveil enlightenment in this lifetime. That’s a pretty big statement , isn’t it? You might have seen this Louis C.K. snippet passed around online in the last week or so. After he goes into a bit about why his children don’t […]

This past Saturday, in Midtown East, my guy and I were bickering. Actually it was a fight. I tend to get feisty, but he’s usually pretty even keel with it. Not this time. It was a fight. Our first. I retreated to another area of his midtown apartment. Ugh, I hate midtown. My thoughts confirmed and […]

Driving highway 24 to head into Berkeley, my friend called that our lunch at Café Gratitude would need to be delayed. I’ve spent a load of time in the Bay Area, but very little to none in unfamiliar Berkeley, and the first thought that popped into my head was: Ok world, what adventure do you […]
