Religion and spirituality are often a component in our journey to health and healing. There are those who make pilgrimages to sacred sites around the world, like Lourdes, hoping to be rid of their maladies. We’re told that God doesn’t give us more than we can handle, so looking for the meaning in our health [...]

I left Nashville yesterday morning where I have been working for the past four months. I’m on my way home to Denver so I was on 70West last nite on the phone(I have a wireless, no hands…don’t worry not holding a phone) when something smashed into my windshield. The windshield shattered and a fair amount [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!! Growing up my father worked at a company whose offices faced 7th Avenue in New York, along the parade route. The families of the employees would come and watch the parade from the warmth of the offices. It was amazing to see the big balloons pass by, almost scary because of their enormity. [...]

I’m very fortunate that over the past few years since I returned to school I have met some incredible people. These individuals are not only smart (a given), but they are kind, growth oriented, and grounded in their place in the world. I’m friends with many of them on Facebook and fortunate that they pass [...]

I’ve worked with many clients over the years who are on a spiritual journey. The catalyst for this journey is usually some pivotal life experience that was in the words of St. John of the Cross, a “dark night of the soul”. Amazing how until we’re faced with a fork in the road or held out gun [...]

I woke up this morning to the sound of a tremendous rainstorm down here in Nashville. I love the sound of the rain when it hits the roof; although driving in it is a pain. I’m one of these people who free associates and when I heard the rain, the thought of it made me [...]

I often wonder if Henry David Thoreau was correct when he said, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation”. We live in a culture where repression is a way of life. We’re afraid of “being who we really are” or concerned about being shunned for following the path decorated with our gifts and [...]

It has been a while since my last post and since then I had the good fortune to take a fabulous vacation to Europe. I went with a group of family and friends on a cruise in the Mediterranean. The ship stopped in 10 ports along the way and each one was more fabulous than [...]

I love Asian food. I have a Chinese restaurant by my house that I frequent; the food is good and the owners terrific. Of course, at the end of the meal, they bring out the check and the famous fortune cookies. It’s always fun to play games with the fortune, but this day the fortune [...]
