EPISODE XCIV: SADNESS AND SUICIDE

 

Mental health is one of the biggest issues out there today.  Poor mental health treatments and programs have been responsible for making symptoms worse for many patients.  Sometimes life gets to be too much and some see only one way out.  I have contemplated and attempted to take that way out and I talk about some of my stories and my challenges, but I talk about the journey I have taken to understand what life truly is and what it can be

EPISODE XCIII: SO WHAT'S LOVE ANYWAYS

 

So love?  What exactly is it? Is it two people getting together? Is it when that magical moment of sexual intercourse happens? Is it when you live through all the crap?  I talk about this and talk about how it feels to lose love.  What can you do?  There is a lot believe me, but it all starts with you.

EPISODE XCII: HATE IS THE NEW 40

 Why is it so easy to hate?  Why is it so hard to love? And one more question, why take the easy way out?  We look at this and more on this episode.  How can we find what we have in common versus what makes us different?  People may have different beliefs and cultures, but we can focus on learning and taking in the beauty of the human experience.  We can find our way to make love the new 50.

SEARCHING FOR THE WIND

 As we go through our wonderful lives, whether we believe they are wonderful or not, there is always opportunity for change. The shift. Whatever it is. Once we are given that chance, we have a choice to make. A storm comes our way, and what we do at that very moment can change the course of our lives forever or for a while. (read more)

EPISODE XCI: THE WALLS RISE AND CRUMBLE

I talk about how we walk around with our defenses up because we may not want people to see our true selves because we are afraid we will not be accepted.  Then again, if we are to live authentically, we might just be ourselves with no cares and no regrets.  We just work to build ourselves up physically and mentally to help us find the person we are and also with the courage to just be who we are at the present moment, rather than worry about what happened before.

THIRTY TIMES ONE WIN

I practice yoga at Lifetime. It's a great environment with wonderful teachers and wonderful people. I received my 200 hour certification there and I also spend a lot of time there doing other workouts as well. It is my happy place. It's teaches me how to live "a healthy way of life" however one the most beautiful things about the place is the challenges. So they had a 30 days of yoga challenge, and of course I said challenge accepted.  (read more)
