It’s perfectly natural to want to improve the planet. What a noble pursuit! What a satisfying process to witness, to direct, to offer some lasting contribution to the betterment of your community, of your country, and perhaps of all of humanity. How does one partake in such a massive undertaking when it seems that you’re…
Does karma really exist? At some point, you’ve likely heard the adage that what you put out into the universe comes back to you ten-fold. But is this really true? Plenty of people give over and over and never seem to get anything in return. I know this to be true only because it’s…
By a show of hands, how many people out there are planning on, in a couple of days, sitting around a pine tree in the living room passing out presents to loved ones while sipping cranberry mimosas and listening to Michael Bublé belt Jingle Bells on the radio? Keep your hand up if you don’t…
The right motivation can catapult you from points A to B. But what about those of us who dream of flying beyond the alphabet? Two yearly events motivate the average American to lose weight and get in shape more so than anything else: the first of January, and the approach of summer. Those of you…

To uphold forgiveness…
‘Tis not God who is dead, but rather the man who claims to know him better than you. Today we put to rest an anguished spirit. Who will miss him most, I cannot say. His fate could not have changed directions for his death had long since formulated itself within the seed of his birth….
I’m excited to announce that the wait for a hard copy version of Aurora Electric is over. I received a preliminary test shipment of the first ten copies four days ago. They were all spoken for before they even arrived at my house. Needless to say, I immediately placed an order for forty more copies….
All you’ve ever been told is a lie. You and only you decide what to believe. I wish I’d been told sooner that I am solely responsible for my reality. On second thought, I probably was. I just didn’t believe it. Not at first, anyways. Why would I (or anyone else for that matter) choose…
Life doesn’t begin in the spring. We’re born into autumn, and if we’re lucky, we’ll one day make it through to eternal summer. My fondest memories growing up involve the fallen leaves.
