You can tell the difference between artisan and mass-produced. We all can at this point. Injected plastic vs hand molded, off the conveyor belt vs. just out of the oven, thrown together in sweat shop vs. just off the needles of the person selling it to you. It’s not just the price which can be…
People ask me what direction they should go or how they can figure out what they should be doing with their lives to fully live and be on their path. Well, we’re headed into spring and one of the things I’ve found that is in harmony with this year of the goat is to pay…
Books, movies, TV all like the dramatic gesture and the emotional tension of long-term issues exploding. It draws in the audience and makes them want to find out what happens next, but it also habituates us to see things in dramatic terms. When something has been going on for a long time we should feel…
Sometimes my clients are resistant to change because they misunderstand what is their essential nature, what they have been taught, and what is a survival mechanism developed through circumstance.
