You know how things seems to come in waves? Like, the other day I saw three turtles in one day. We live in the woods, but even though the shelled reptiles are doing fine around here it’s rare to see more than one or two a year. They just aren’t very sociable. Like me. Tuesday […]
Just Ask!
February 3, 2015 By Leave a Comment
In the process of improving one’s life, most of us try to go it alone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes we get desperate enough to look for help. We want someone either to do it for us (which of course will never work), or to just guide us in the best general […]
To What Do You Pay Attention?

I used to love those cartoons where the character had a little devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other. In most cases they were miniatures of the main character. A little Goofy with horns on one shoulder, one with a halo on the other. Usually the halo one ended up […]
I Didn’t Write a Blog Article Today
October 26, 2013 By 4 Comments
Well, not yet anyway. I just wrote that title up there so, hey…. give me a chance here! So sometimes it’s like, “umm, you have not written an article lately.” “You’re absolutely correct. I have not.” “Well?” “OKOK. I know. I’ll get right on it ((holding fingers crossed behind my back)). But first I […]
Is Karma Really a Balancing Act?
June 21, 2013 By 2 Comments
Lately I find myself not using my mind the way I used to. Formerly, I felt that unless I had intimate knowledge and evidence of a thing, there was no way that I could make decisions about that thing. And that had severe cascading consequences; one question “answered” lead to another, and another, […]
Spiritual Awakening: Sooner, or Later?
April 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment
There’s an old saying that there are no atheists in foxholes. In other words, in desperate times when it looks like there is no other way out, most people will finally turn to a Higher Power for help as a last resort. I suppose that’s true in 99% of cases. I’m sure that there […]
The Incredible Lightness of Not Giving a Sh*t
August 3, 2012 By 7 Comments
A few years ago I ran across a video titled, “Fuck It” (do a search on YouTube). It’s a promotion for a book – I’ve never read it. I’m sure it’s a fine book, but I’m not promoting it here. I just like the video and the sentiment behind it. I’ve read a lot […]
I’m Such a Tool…
April 28, 2012 By 2 Comments
No big blog article this week – frankly, I’m taking a day or so off to get ready for the influx of new clients who’ve begun taking advantage of the toolkit offer. But as I was thinking about what I might write today, it was given to me that I should tell you something about […]
Determine your Own Worth
December 10, 2011 By 6 Comments
When I was a young man (which now means when I was 20 – 40 years old) working for small companies and large corporations, I had a lot of misconceptions. At first I thought the engineers were infallible since they were “professionals” and educated. I thought the corporate heads were unfailingly upright people who pretty near always knew what they were doing…after […]
Happy Appreciation Day
November 22, 2011 By 5 Comments
Every year here in the U.S. we set aside a day in November to celebrate abundance…and, we’re told, to give thanks for that abundance. Our political and religious leaders admonish us to pray and express gratitude for what we have in life. But exactly who or what is it that we’re thanking? It’s easy to […]
