Although I do know when I’ll be back again. A couple of hours from now I will fly off on a 14-1/2 hour journey from Los Angeles to Sydney, Australia. I leave here at 11:45 PM on Saturday July 18 and arrive on Monday morning at 7:10 AM in Sydney. Technically there will not be [...]
Some days are meant to be the pothole to climb out of. That doesn’t mean that a day like today needs to have been a bad one. Twist logic or look to the benefits of challenge and you will find a way to realize that the days where struggle is a friend (I’m not always [...]
And the beauty of this is that I just don’t care. There was a time when the most important thing in my world was to make sure that I was pleasing people and liked by all. A bit disgusting, although I did not handle it as much outwardly as I thought about it inwardly. A [...]
Sure beats the crap out of frustration or paranoia. The art of surrender and the path towards the attempts for breaking of habits is filled with potholes and diversions.

It is akin to awareness of addictive behavior and can be the direct result of the surrender. Detachment is release and renewal of priority and focus, but should not be [...]
Although it sounds like a negative it is actually a positive extension of my mantra. I am a passionate and emotional being. I do not want to change that. It is important to me to be a person who cares about the world and the people within it. I am always going to be an [...]
It is always good to develop a mantra to help in the aid of a new process. I have discovered that the central susceptibility to self will is environment. What we are around… listening to, reading, experiencing can be detrimental if allowed towards a sense of spiritual comfort and peace. Subconsciously the human mind can [...]
