Technology Wants to Steal my Soul

Over the years, I’ve regularly had to come face to face with my tendency for addiction to technology. Facebook, Instagram and digital games all have had their way with me. Mobile phones and other devices are insidious little creatures, worming their way in through my eyes and affixing themselves to the more easily seduced parts […]

… And Then There’s This Moment

All we really have is a long string of moments which, when concatenated together, extend into a lifetime.

30th High School Reunion and the Arc of Our Lives

Last night, I went to my 30th high school reunion and had a sublimely wonderful time. There is apart of me that would love to write a no-holds-barred gossipy expose, naming names, making confessions, appealing to the snoopy nosed among whomever may be eavesdropping on this blog.

Walking Around in a Digital Fog

This technological age is really messing with our capacity to be present to our own lives and we all seem to be unaware of it. In my opinion, we are actually forfeiting the vibrancy of our lives in favor of digital/visual distraction. Over the past several years, I’ve paid attention to my experience of awareness […]
