Finish what you start

The Classics

I was listening to NPR and heard this quote which is one of my favorites and never fails to remind me of the road I’m walking. Ulysses by Lord Tennyson ” ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

What do you do when you get hurt?

What happens when something hurts you personally?  When what someones says or what they do cuts you?  How do you react?  Or do you?  It’s something that defines us as individuals and affects all of us collectively so it’s worth taking a minute to look at it. …Details

Trust

The Akashic Library

Progress on my class for Daily Om progresses.  Here’s an excerpt from Lesson #5: The main focus of the Akashic Library is information and communication. You might think of it, not as a monolithic library full of texts, but as a living document or an ongoing conversation. …Details

New Year Resolutions

Ok, it’s 2012.  So are you making New Year resolutions or not?  I mean, if the world is ending next December, how does that change your perspective?  I say that a bit tongue in cheek because I don’ t think there will be a grand finale then and if there is I’ll admit I’m wrong, if I’m still around to care. …Details
