Companies Want To Think For You …
… and they’re getting better and better. The ‘auto suggestions’ they offer at the bottom of my emails are eerily accurate options lately. But I never take them. It would be easy to click one button instead of typing a few words, but it wouldn’t be me. I can tell when someone who want toContinue reading “Companies Want To Think For You …”

Over Six Years of Blogging
A little over six years ago I started publishing one blog post every day. I committed to do that, with a little prompting, because deep inside of myself I felt that I had to. I had gone down a pretty dark road and worked my way back, so I knew that there was something there,Continue reading “Over Six Years of Blogging”
Everything Casts a Shadow

Obviously that’s true when you walk outside and look at the literal shadows cast by objects in the sun, but there is also a shadow side to your consciousness. It underlies just about everything that you do. What we’re talking about here is the unspoken, buried,Continue reading “Everything Casts a Shadow”

With regards to fitness, what is your dream, goal, or objective? Why do you want to exercise? Why do you go to the gym? It’s got to be specific, because where you want to end up directly informs what you should be doing. If you’re training for a sport, the program will be a lotContinue reading “What Do You Train For?”
The Value of Stillness
If you practice sitting still, being quiet, and really listening to your body (and the universe that it is a participant in), something amazing begins to happen.
