Next Right Move
My faith deepened. I was pushed so far out of my comfort zone that the only thing I could do was surrender. This was 2020. A year when metaphorically we were meant to see clearer, instead we were left to investigate our lives in an entirely different manner. All things that no longer served us […]

You Can’t Go Home Again
Peace is knowing that we are always Divinely Guided. Everything is perfectly unfolding to lead us to our destiny. The only requirement: faith and surrender. When we align with our Highest Self we align with our Divine Purpose and everything that is needed to fulfill that purpose presents itself into physical form. This is living […]

Self-Sensory Human
While so many competing agendas vie for our attention, it is more important than ever that we have the capacity to trust our intuition and our own experience to begin making the most informed and best decisions for our own lives. In short, we must begin trusting our own personal experience over what we are […]

Planting the Seed
Would you plant the seed of a tree even if you knew that you would never get to enjoy the shade?” In the silence of meditation, the most remarkable messages come flooding through when we reach a state that the Yogi’s call, “shuniya”.

Down Goes the Pier
I was amazed to witness it. And by witness it, I mean watch for nearly two hours on YouTube the slow crumbling and breaking away of a pier at 61st street in Galveston. Tropical Storm Beta (for only the second time in history we have reached the Greek alphabet to name storms) hadn’t even hit […]

It was rumored that he remained in silence for more than five years before eventually ending his fast on the spoken word. When he finally spoke after the long drought of […]

Worn-Out Garment
“Death is nothing more than the casting-off of a worn-out garment.” Adi and I witnessed a traumatic event last evening. The night started off innocently enough. After a beautiful Sunday of relaxing around the house we decided to grab an evening snack at the Spot on the Seawall in Galveston. Spending time by the water […]

Spirits Are Using Me…
I never expected to be in this situation—living in Galveston and incidentally right next door to Adi’s parents. I have settled into this odd reality where I am living equal parts Everybody Loves Raymond with a healthy dose of The Addams Family thrown in to make it feel a little less conventional. Adi and I […]

As the Hurricane Churns
A hurricane is looming in the Gulf. Actually, two hurricanes that go by the names Marco and Laura. Both seem to be vying for America’s attention as they pick up steam and head towards the mainland. This would be Adi and my first hurricane. We only arrived in Galveston three short weeks ago and already […]

Confessions of a Parrothead
“I’d rather die while I’m living than live while I’m dead.” I have a secret. I don’t really reveal it to anyone and in fact, it took me a number of years to admit it to Adi until I finally realized I couldn’t keep it from her anymore. I am a Parrothead. Yes, it’s true. […]
