My most profound relationships are ones where I feel I am building something with the other person. When we’re together, we help each other grow our ideas, projects, love, creativity. I’ve found it pretty hard to “fake it” with people if I’m not sensing that they care to do that. This is partly because of [...]
Especially in the holiday season, but throughout the year, we have to be conscious of what truly has value in our lives. If you believe the hype of commercials, ads, etc. you might believe that your joy is determined by the amount of gifts you get, that you are not really loved unless “he chose [...]
“I’m not a morning person”. This is one story I’ve had about myself for much of my life. I felt sad and guilty for not being a “morning person”, because ideologically I think of the morning as being fresh, new, full of possibility. I felt like I was missing something, and that if I was [...]
I took my dog Ginger for a walk this afternoon at the City Park golf course, one of the few places I can walk her off leash. She was in heaven–chasing leaves, eating snow, jumping in the air out of joy. I felt a deep sense of peace, of connection, there in the muddy [...]
Today in the shower my contact got messed up. All of the sudden, it wasn’t in my eye properly and was hurting me. At first I tried to get it straightened out, then I just freaked out and tried to get it out of my eye. I yelled, then felt annoyed that Victor wasn’t running [...]
I’ve joined a new community recently, the Center for Spiritual Living Denver. I’ve also started singing with their small choir that leads the group singing throughout service. Having attended a couple of rehearsals, I’m struck by how different it feels to be the “newbie” in the group of close-nit musicians. It is refreshing, weird, and [...]
I was introduced to house music in the summer before my senior of college. The event was a Sunday daytime party on the water in San Francisco. Prior to that day, I thought electronic music was harsh, lacking heart. I grew up singing folk, classical, and show tunes with my family and in choirs. I [...]
We had our first session of a new Transformation Group this Monday. Twelve of us met in my living room and started building a safe, supportive group in which to share our intentions, challenges, and victories over the next six months. It was a wonderful time, and I was moved by the vulnerability and [...]
Disclaimer: I have only been married for one year, and in partnership for six. I’m not a “relationship expert”, but am passionate about loving and learning through all relationships. Romantic ones are powerful–they have the potential to hurt us and to heal us in life-changing ways. Society doesn’t teach us much about how to do [...]
I don’t consider myself a particularly jealous person. However, of late I noticed myself, for the first time, driving by a house that was for sale and feeling bitter that I can’t have it, cursing my poor car (which is pretty banged up but reliable nonetheless), and feeling entitled to more. “And what did that [...]
