Nonnie Bear
Adi’s grandmother passed away peacefully on Thursday evening. Doris Lee Cannon Carter took her last deep breath and ascended into higher consciousness leaving a void that will be difficult to fill. She was, without question, one of a kind. She was the rock of the family, the drill instructor, “The Boss” and the single most […]

So, This Is Happiness…
I was talking with a dear friend recently and he asked what I have been doing these last few months. I mentioned that I am starting a new chapter in my life and leaving my old life behind. “I am putting more of my energy into Yes & Yoga and I am transitioning out of […]

Kitties Galore
“I have lived with several zen masters—all of them cats.” —Eckhart Tolle When Adi and I returned to Mansfield after spending last summer and fall in Galveston we made a deal—at least I thought we made a deal; no cats in the house. “I will move back to your family’s land, but I really don’t […]

Endings (Part Eight)…
Endings, by their very nature, allow us the opportunity to reflect. What once served us now fades into the background for new opportunities to emerge.

Every spring, people from all around take long drives through the Hill Country to gaze at these beautiful flowers that are sprinkled along highways throughout the state. It’s not unusual to find cars stopped on the shoulder of the road […]

The Fear That Wasn’t…
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” —Mark Twain When time seems abundant, we all have a tendency to […]

The Bat Signal (Part Six)…
“You have to make the next move before anything else can happen.” The message was direct. I could sense it was the energy of my father as he nudged me out of my comfort zone and pressed me to make the journey to Costa Rica. Signs from the Universe are always interesting markers that can […]

Take Me Back…(Part Five)
Traveling revitalizes my soul. Whenever I am feeling slightly sluggish nothing invigorates me more than traveling. I love to experience new places, people, cultures—all of these things remind me of how connected we all truly are. Nothing dispels our prejudices about another place more than traveling to that place to experience it for ourselves. Oftentimes, […]
