Sometimes it is as simple as that. I have been working on a concentrated effort to be in my moments as they are happening. I have had a habit for much of my life to always desire something else, somewhere better or simply the end of the place that I perceive that I am in. [...]
The key to listening is an open mind, without it you will not truly hear. I am reminded on my path that the road does not always reveal itself. Inspiration and clues sent forth to provide a softer and easier way are there for the taking. My experience has provided me with such tidbits… but [...]
Hey wait… is that code for a control freak? The question is whether or not I am already directing. How much control do I actually have on my own life… and destiny? How wise would it be for me to make snap judgments and decisions that would pull me into a new chapter? Sometimes taking [...]
Experience might dictate that there is a storm brewing… but that is not what I believe is happening.

Even through the routines of our day the changes are everywhere. New people, new challenges, new knowledge, new hopes [...]
I figure I’ll get more accomplished if I do. So what brought this on? Well… the most common sense path for me towards happiness is the knowledge that my life is a classroom. I have always been a student with a desire to retain and excel. On the days that I am learning, growing, achieving [...]
The alternative tends to give me heartburn. Tonight I had a very pleasant evening of fellowship and correct thinking. This is not so hard to come by… and often is done in my world by writing out the path to a better solution within blog passages and journal entries. Where I have discovered that my [...]
