the only thing that matters is you
In an attempt to slowly move forward, my sister, tom (tom thankfully has been doing this for Andrea and I when we were unable) and I are trying to clear away some of my mom’s clothing. It’s incredibly difficult to see these items that are obvious remnants of a healthy happy past. Many of the […]
Lessons from Chapelle
I really enjoyed watching Dave Chapelle on Inside the Actor’s Studio tonight on Bravo. I really like him, not just because he is one of the funniest people on the planet, but he really seems like a geniunely good person. There were a few things he said tonight that really hit home with me.
Allow
Life is confusing (but that’s the fun right?). I’ve been wrestling a lot lately with the contradictions before me. On the one hand I feel a drive to constantly influence the world around me, to make an extra phone call, send an extra email, or have an extra meeting in the hopes that somehow I’ll […]
White with envy…..
There is a major snowstorm in the northeast, and I’m really jealous I’m missing it. As those who know me well know, I LOVE SNOW (and weather), and I would be pretty much in heaven right now if I was up in NYC with my sister. I’ve been watching a lot of the weather channel, […]
Finding your passion…
I have had a few people email me about my last post and ask me how do you find that passion in your life? I don’t really have an answer for that, but I do believe we all come equipped with some incredible tools that guide us, especially our body. By listening to my body, […]
An incredible read….
The always though provoking blog by Steve Pavlina had a fantastic article, I’d recommend to everyone today. It’s a long, complex look at finding your purpose, your passion, your calling in this life time. I know that I’ve heard that so many times in my life, I wake up expecting to hear it. “Do what […]
dealing with the haze again…
I have to admit that writing in here has been a struggle. It’s not because I don’t have any thoughts I want to write about, there’s a million of those a day, but it’s really more to do with what I call the “haze.” It’s this fog that overtakes my mind and makes everything unclear […]
Mom’s key to happiness….
#1. Asking questions I know the #1 implies I’m building a list, but I haven’t really thought out a list yet. This is just something I was thinking about this morning, during a morning workout (which was my first since my mom passed, and it felt better than I thought).
A dream of mom….
I’m not sure what it is, but it seems that after my mom died a lot of her close friends (and family) started having dreams of her. They would talk about how healthy, happy, and alive she looked in these dreams. And everyone talked about seeing her with that big, big trademark smile on her […]
Life in perspective
I’m hooked. The PBS special Country Boys, a film following the lives of two teenage boys from Appalachia is fantastic and I’d recommend it to anyone. I can’t really put into words all the thoughts and feelings I had watching this program, but I will say that I did have an overall good feeling about […]
