After reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic I have a new view of how we access and relate with our own creativity. Creativity is a force to reckon with if we allow it to be so, yet it can also be fragile. Mainly the fragility is creativity’s susceptibility to fear’s influence. Here are the takeaways on creativity and passion that I whole-heartedly agree … Read More
The media as our culture’s oral tradition
Earlier this week, my partner left for a summer of working on a salmon fishing boat in Alaska. When I brought him to the airport at 4am, I noticed a fellow from the local news station on the curb filming with his camera man.

Living with Future You in mind

I resolved to bring myself out of the dark, into the light by educating myself about what this time really means and what I am really supposed to be focusing … Read More
Laughter is medicine
You are enough. Don’t pretend you are already there when you know you have a lot to learn. Make decisions on the belief that you can deal with their consequences, not with the fear that you can’t. You can choose your behavior, but you can’t control your behavior’s outcome. This is real confidence.
