This image has been in my mind since I first saw it a few days ago. Memes sometimes perfectly capture a profound message with just an image and a caption. This one, in less than dozen words, a single grainy image conveys a universal feeling, or damn close to one anyway. We all feel overwhelmed […]

Day 1303- What’s Happening
The mundane greeting “What’s happening?” is often met with a “Not much”. No one really wants to know everything that’s going on in your life. Sometimes, I want to tell them what is happening. This morning, the guy I helped run a focus group for his upcoming book/course, emailed me and asked me for an […]
Day 1280- Moving Out of Disappointment City
It’s Christmas Day. It’s the fourth Christmas since Shayna passed. I dread Christmas now. Being an adult at Christmas time was only stressful before the girls came along. Then, it had the magic again for several years as we bought for them, watched their eyes light up when they saw their presents, the wonder on […]
Day 1268- When Life Doesn’t Give You A Way, Make A Way
This has been the week from hell, again. Two steps forward and one step back seems the way it goes or maybe it’s 1-1/2 steps forward and one step back. I’ve just completed Joe Dispenza’s book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself” and while I knew it wouldn’t be easy, I was fully expecting for […]
Day 1256- Beggar On A Beach Of Gold
I didn’t know when I was lucky Discontented feeling bad Filled with envy For possessions other people had I found my pride had always hurt me Fought the world to gain control Not realising I was sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord I’m a poor man With all the riches I can hold […]
Day 1189- Is That a Crack In The Door?
OK. Let me take a breath here. Whew! It’s been two weeks since I made a post on the blog. I’m pretty sure that’s a record. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to say, I haven’t had the time to say it. Life keeps getting in the way of my plans. (in fact, I […]
Day 1183-Just Waiting Here In This Line
Someone created an image that depicts what I’ve felt since Shayna passed. I found this image on Facebook where the poster linked it to how we are all waiting in line to go back Home. We know this intellectually, but we forget it. We get caught up in the day-to-day of life, and we set […]
Day 1181- ‘Twas Grace That Taught My Heart To Fear
There is a line in the song Amazing Grace that goes ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; As I’m thinking about my relationship with church this line presents itself to me. It was church that taught my heart to fear. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with church since […]
Day 1163- Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani
About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) This morning as I’m listening to one of my podcasts for the day a spiritual teacher is talking about seeking absolute truth. Frankly, there was a lot of […]
Day 1151-Overflowing
Sometimes it’s just all too much. We wonder why me, why now, how much more am I supposed to take? I’m on Facebook and I see my cousin’s daughter posted a picture of her and her son with the simple status update “feeling angry”. I wonder what’s up. Tanika has been doing well. She’s just […]
