The Point
New Book Review – Hildegard of Bingen
I have a new book review up on Meditate Like A Girl – go Check it out!
Fearless at Work – book review and giveaway!
How about this – two new articles in one day! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed Michael Carroll’s book “Fearless at Work”. While I had hoped I would enjoy it since Carroll is a teacher in the Shambhala lineage I study, I was overwhelmed by ideas and inspiration after reading his book. I love it […]
Bringing Jewels of Light…
Just wanted to let you (yes, all two of you) know that I’m still around and writing. Work has been extraordinarily busy, so expect to find new posts related to business soon. I just sat a Shambhala Level 2 retreat and it was very powerful and subtle at the same time. I’m sure that will pour out […]
Four Points of Self Soothing
Did you yearn for comfort and stability today? Have you soothed yourself today? Did you even think about it? We all have difficult times. When the structure in our world seems to be crumbling, self care is usually the first thing to go in a crisis or stressful situation. Our minds are churning so much, trying […]
Fish Gotta Swim, Birds Gotta Fly…
So I was talking to a friend the other day who was exploring meditation for the first time. He mentioned his explorations to his mother who then launched into him about why does he want to be a Buddhist and give up all his worldly possessions. He was hurt by her assumption and tried […]
On Getting Good Grades
Spiritual longing is not on a grading scale. There is no cosmic teacher who only give you a 85% on how far you’ve come. We don’t average the amount of time spent mediating by the amount of books you’ve read and retreats you’ve attended. There is no inventory to be kept for a spiritual education. […]

On Cubes and Where Did you Keep Your Mind at Work Today?
So I work in an office. In a cubicle, lined up perfectly with other cubicles. Some people refer to this as a “cube farm”. I work in building with four floors, with the top three floors all having the same concept of being solid enough to hold up rows and rows and rows and rows […]
Go Find Your Sacred Stall
Go find your Sacred Stall. If this is your home, then it will be easy to chose where to sit. You can take a moment and catch up with yourself. Breathe. Stop. Stop pushing to do anything other than what you’re doing right now. Feel your feet – do they hurt? Feel your legs – […]
Rush Hour of your Mind
There is nothing outside of us that can drop us into fear as quickly as our very own mind. The fear of losing a loved one, a house, a job, stability – those things could happen, yes. But are they happening right now, in this very moment? Other than a few moments in your life […]
