Unique Observer

During my meditation this morning it really started to make sense. Who is the observer of your thoughts? You-no one else! This offers a unique opportunity to understand what the word observe means and how that offers a liberating sense of non commitment. "Observe:" to notice or perceive something.

When You Just Do It

For about a year I have talked about wanting to go to one specific place. For what reason? I have no idea but that, in itself, makes me too curious not to go. I have let all the "shoulds" and "yea, but" and "well.." get to me and stop me from going. "Well it's gonna …

A word that keeps coming up in my life. Not something you can give someone but definitely something everyone needs and everyone can personally build. It pays off to be more self aware and yet it remains so easy to continue to distract, run, and ignore the need. Especially during a time like this, in …
