In the stillness, in the silence, new answers and new possibilities can emerge. Sometimes, doing nothing can lead to doing/becoming something meaningful, something important. There is a mysterious power in being centered and at peace, neither striving nor seeking, not growing or becoming; simply being. Simply resting. Simply doing and attempting nothing. There’s a strange…
So I came out of the “spiritual closet” last night. I’ve always been a very spiritual person. Like, seriously, you have no idea. I grew up Catholic. In the Catholic church, you’re not supposed to receive communion until AFTER a certain age, after you’ve taken certain classes, and gone through a little “First Communion” ritual….
A friend on Facebook posted a great question about the difference between “doing nothing” and “being lazy.” I commented directly to his post, but wanted to share it here too. I know this is something I’ve struggled with A LOT, and still do if I’m honest with myself. This is as much a helpful reminder…
I don’t want to conquer the world; I want to conquer my own fears and self-doubts. I don’t care about a lot of money; I want a lot of love. It takes a lot of courage and strength to be weak and vulnerable. It’s okay to make a lot of mistakes and fail spectacularly if…
It’s an odd moment. One of those fleeting moments of enlightenment where everything feels so clear. I’m laying here, resting. And I can feel my heart beat. Beating, constantly, within my chest. I can feel it inside me. Pumping. Beat after beat. It’s strong. It’s healthy. But all of the sudden, I’m aware I’m mortal….

This is what I believe. A quick “formula” to test if you should pursue something or not: Option 1: This scares me and it’s not…
Anything worth doing, is worth doing badly. No one’s born an expert, master, or with great talent. Everybody starts as a n00b. But if it’s worth doing well someday — start today, f*ck it up, do it badly… Just start. Just try. It’s okay to fail. Fail miserably. Fail spectacularly. Mess it up, screw it…
I was just chatting with a friend who’s interested in learning how to invest in the stock market. Personally, I love trading stocks and options. But as we were talking and getting her started, I mentioned a piece of advice that I’d like to also share with you. If you’re JUST looking for a way…
We sometimes forget that we’re all mortal. Never miss an opportunity to tell someone you love them. It’s one thing we all can’t hear enough. Friends, family, even a stranger you just met — if you feel it, say it. It doesn’t have to mean romantic love. And you’re not committing anything to them. You’re…
