Finding Your Tribe: How to Be 'Spiritual But Not Religious' and Find Community.
For many, the traditional framework of organized religion no longer provides the satisfying spiritual nourishment they crave. Dogma, strict rules, and historical baggage can often feel restrictive, leading them to identify as "spiritual but not religious" (SBNR). This path emphasizes personal experience, intuition, and a connection to something larger than oneself, often rejecting the institutions and doctrines of established faiths. While this individual journey can be incredibly fulfilling, it can also feel isolating. The comfort and support traditionally found within religious communities might seem out of reach. However, it is possible to cultivate a rich spiritual life while remaining unattached to organized religion, and crucially, to find meaningful community along the way.

Shielding Your Light: Energy Hygiene for Healers and Therapists.
Healers and therapists, by their very nature, operate in a space of profound connection and empathy. They are the conduits for healing, the safe harbor for those navigating emotional storms, and the guides leading others towards inner peace. This demanding role, while immensely rewarding, can also be incredibly draining. The constant exposure to others' pain, trauma, and energy can leave healers feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and susceptible to burnout, or even worse, absorbing the very energies they are trying to alleviate. This is where the crucial practice of energy hygiene comes into play.

Lying On a Prayer
Deepak Chopra is one of the most acclaimed spiritual gurus of our generation. While I have never followed or studied his teachings, many people, upon hearing about my psychological issues or my interest in yoga and meditation, have asked me to check out his teachings.

The Architecture of Heroism
The Architecture of Heroism Strength Without Spectacle We are taught to recognize heroes by volume — by urgency, by sacrifice, by visible impact. But much of what sustains a life, a family, or a culture is quieter than that. This series explores heroism not as spectacle, but as structure: the steadiness that prevents collapse, the discernment that interrupts harm, and the regulation that builds something lasting. Here, strength is not dramatic. It is disciplined.

33 and a Light Breeze
Expect today's high to rise to 33 degrees Fahrenheit with a light breeze. A light breeze, my ahs. The flags in the front circle are flapping in a stiff wind in today's breeze. It's great for anyone walking from the north side of the hill to the south, but the return trip makes the eyes water and the nose hairs freeze.

Failing
We’re all failing education. We all have to go to school, but we don’t get an education. John D. Rockefeller funded and shaped the current public education. He wanted a generation of workers. These schools taught children how to sit for eight hours and not question authority. It’s been our reality since then.

Reclaiming My Tabula Rasa
Philosophically and psychologically, I was conceived as a "blank slate", my birth pure - innocent...my consciousness a vast ocean awaiting its savoir faire of appropriate-ness for the social world on which I, unwillingly, had been thrust into. My new form, though petulant and quite sulky, still yearned in anticipation - leaning eagerly toward the accumulation of new knowledge and for my personality to be shaped by experience.

When Structures Rise Without Listening
The Tower I was not born in defiance. I was born in longing. They gathered at my base with dust on their feet and stars in their eyes. Their hands trembled not from arrogance, but from memory — a faint remembering that they once touched something vast.
