EPISODE CLXV: THE SIGNS OF THE SHIFT

 We have things happen to us and we can't explain them.  We tried to do everything right and stay on the path.  Yet, sometimes things don't work out and we lose our way.  We then go back to the drawing board and try to figure out how to keep things in our life that may not belong anymore or don't serve us.  What will happen if we do just that? How scary is it to just trust the universe and move forward in a completely opposite direction? MUSIC FROM THIS EPISODE

THE WHO AND THE WHAT

  We wander around trying to find answers all the time, but sometimes in life maybe we just ask the wrong questions. Maybe it's not even a matter of asking the wrong questions — maybe it's that we don't ask questions because we're just so full of answers. We are so infested with our own opinions of ourselves, the poor self-talk, the excuse-making, all the other places that we go to distract us from who we actually are. So who are we? The truth is we really don't know unless we really dig in to find out. It comes from facing up to all the crazy shit you did as a kid and the mistakes you made as an adult. It comes from a place of knowing that your ego distracted you from the truth that was actually happening. It comes from a place of understanding that we are just here, and everything else is fed to us by our brain. And when we are constantly being fed by our brain, being supplemented by lots of social media and advertisements trying to tell you that you're no...

WISE ASS WEDNESDAY

The $400-a-Month Meditation: When Wellness Becomes a Luxury Tax So this last month has been really tough for me, and by tough, I mean I spent way too much time staring at my bank account wondering how the hell basic human maintenance became a luxury subscription service. Who comes up with these things? Seriously. You’re sitting there trying to navigate everyday anxiety, scrolling on your phone to decompress, and suddenly you’re bombarded by targeted ads for an exclusive "social wellness club" that will gladly solve all your mental health woes for the low, low price of four hundred dollars a month. Four hundred dollars. For water. And hot wood boxes. We are constantly told that if we just "align" our chakras, our energy, and our wallets with the universe, everything will fall into place. (I use the word "align" here with maximum sarcasm, because if one more glossy Instagram coach tells me to align my soul with a four-figure annual fee, I'm going to ...

EPISODE CLXIV: ESCAPE FROM VICE CITY

No I am not talking about Miami.  I am talking about the place you go to find a way to get something that you are missing inside.  Filling the hole as my wife has said many times.  I have tried to fill the hole many ways.  Right now, it's gambling.  Although not serious, I have to look at my family history and my nature to understand why I must take action now to minimize damage, or suffer consequences later.  I am hoping people can learn from my story here and that's the talk of the day today.
