Good golly. Just when I thought I had tamed my feisty ego, here comes Twitter, the micro social networking tool that people are flocking too, to rile it’s ever-present…uh…presence….
If you don’t know Twitter, I’m not going to suggest you need to. But this post may not make sense if you don’t. Apologies in advance.
You see, [...]

With the Web’s advent, many are rethinking how to reach people to sell their wares. Advertising still plagues our conversations, but as The Cluetrain Manifesto shouts: selling better be the secondary thing you’re trying to do. Connecting with people is the first thing the Web is all about.
This blogger identifies folks in the US and [...]

While much research has been done that concludes intuition is an unreliable source of inspiration and direction, I’m not so sure. In stillness, I find intuition comes like a pack of wild horses, thundering into my consciousness. Sometimes is comes as a tender consort, catching my attention with a whisper behind the thin veil that [...]

These are not my words but they speak so intimately to my heart and where I am professionally and spiritually, I had to share…
“Make a Bonfire of Your Reputations”

Bear with me. It’s 3 a.m. Saturday morning and I may be crazy for writing that headline, but hear me out.
Friday was a whirlwind day: a photo shoot for my new company, meetings to discuss potential opportunities with a local chamber of commerce and a wellness center, strategizing about how to follow-up on my Obama [...]

You and me. Seemingly two separate beings. I’m over here in Portland, Oregon and you, presumably are some place else in the world, reading these words. Our physical existence seems to confirm our separation. Indeed, it would seem that every part of our material experience, even our language seems to confirm that you and [...]

Good gracious. It’s lunchtime. This morning I had what we humans sometimes call an emotional roller coaster ride at the office. There I was minding my own business when my mind piped up. It said: “Hey, you there, you haven’t heard from your designer in a while. You should be concerned.”
In case you haven’t been [...]

I’ve been listening to this voice for many years. It comes often in the middle of the early morning, say, between 2-4 a.m. This is when I had my first awakening. I was in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton in my barracks. I had chosen to seek god and god didn’t answer, so I [...]

Meditating that is. Like this morning. I had a conference call at 6 a.m., which is smack dab in the middle of my meditation session. So it’s likely, given my schedule, that I won’t get in my complete 2 hr session. There was a time when I would feel bad about this. Now I see [...]

It is the reason meditation requires discipline, persistence and commitment. Tonight’s session was an illustration. In acceptance I watched my body and mind go in and out of droopy sleep-induced micro-naps, emerging only after my body slumped so far forward I though I would curl into a ball. Then that mind of mine found it [...]
