Hail the Holy Hammock! Appreciating the Power of Retreat

In order to get a handle on our own lives and orient toward a future which feels supportive to our souls, I believe it is imperative at times to simply stop. Getting caught up in the momentum of our lives is so easy that we simply react to whatever is in front of us rather […]

There are boundaries to expression which most all of us would be well served to cross. Living our lives with too much restraint can be an almost certain shortcut to dissatisfaction.

My storm seems to have passed, at least for the moment. In a way, I feel like I’ve lost my process slightly, but I also feel like I’ve settled into a place which is much more calm, much less affected by whatever is happening around me. People seem to be coming to me lately as […]
