Going within is not so easy for some of us, after all, we are too busy fielding the external world. The struggle is real. Turtles innately know they are always at home wherever they are, whoever they are with. Retreating is a natural law of their lives. Turtles are in no hurry to get anywhere. […]
Dear Fear, I am writing to thank you and to break up with you. I am grateful for the profound insights you have offered me about myself. However, I believe it’s time for us to find our own ways. You taught me valuable lessons, but I am ready to move forward independently. My fear was […]
The Buddha taught that we suffer when we cling to or resist experience; when we want life different than it is. As the saying goes: “Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.” When painful sensations arise, if we meet them with clarity and presence, we can see that pain is just pain. When we are […]
Judging a BIG deal… Why such a BIG deal? Because we do it all day long, from the moment we wake-up. We don’t recognize it as judgments, but they are. We judge the clothes we are going to put on, we start noticing our thoughts with judgments. We judge the kind of day we MIGHT […]

We all have an unknown destination, purpose, and we are all in this journey of life together, hopefully raising each other’s vibrations. I believe we are born at the top, we are just so high we can’t see it and gain perspective. Hence; life to be […]
I was talking to a friend the other day who was having a hard time digesting some relationship shit. We bantered back and forth about the scenario that was crippling the mind. As we bantered, I said, “I was calling in the bomb squad.” It was my way of defusing the energy wrapped around the […]
Think about the dream we are living; we are everything and nothing neatly held within the physical container we call bodies. Life here on earth is the biggest masquerade party. We come in all shapes, sizes, expressions, etc. These containers we jumped into have earthly expiration dates that are unbeknown or known to us; who […]
Life is an adventure; the minute we are born it starts. When we begin to wake up to the notion that an opposite feeling is calling us out. We begin to push against, resist what is NOT true, and recognize that we have to expand our horizons. We have forgotten that ALL people, places, and […]
