when it’s time to stop healing and bust outta purgatory (and what my crush on ed harris has to do with enlightenment)
There comes a time to fight your way out of purgatory. Assess what you learned, bow to your healing process, and tear off the band-aids. Burn things. This is the time to make announcements and head out into the world even if your skin is a bit tender. You bust out of in-between when you declare that you.have.decided.to.live. No matter what.

what it means to forgive
“…holding no prisoner to guilt, we become free.” - The Course In Miracles Someone asked me this week, “Have you forgiven so and so for such and such?” And I did the puppy head tilt, “Huh?” This question throws me for a loop. “Well…I don’t really feel like it’s my place to forgive them,” I...
the “i don’t know” conspiracy

The self is not made content; the self is made toast.” - Ken Wilber There have been a few ideas that rocked my world. Krishnamurit’s...
farewell 2008: know your name
This is one of the most moving tracks off of Jason Mraz’s sweet, sexy CD, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things (2008). This song is a meditation in practical courage. … If it’s a broken part, replace it But, if it’s a broken arm then brace it If it’s a broken heart then face...
decide to succeed
I found every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. That they were going to achieve success. And some people make that decision at 15 and some people...
