A few days ago, I received a copy of my birth certificate in the mail. Nothing unusual, except I’m 57 years old and had not ever seen it. Some when during the packing and moving to bring a whole family to the new world, my birth certificate got lost.

When I looked at how big a job it would be to stop and delete all the unwanted files on my desktop at work, I realized that a similar thing occurs in life. We save all these files which in the end serve no useful purpose, or in many ways come back and drag us out of the present just when we least expected it. I suggest five way

I would like to put forward the idea that it is being a victim
that is onerous, difficult, a struggle, and too much work.
Being responsible for everything that happens, and for every
feeling and behavior is the easy way to live.

While working on some comments I asked this question
"What is the opposite of Victim?" and

As awareness increases unexpected things tend to pop up to the surface from the unconscious mind to the conscious mind, as I discovered at the food mall. My realization wasn't the result of some magic connection, but a series of threads that drew together in a pattern in a single moment. What I discovered and what I learn from

I pride myself (there, right there is the problem—pride) on understanding the toll our high paced society is having on the human spirit. I’ve written about the importance of slowing down and finding solitude. Yet the other morning, with a drive into the (big) city and the need to pick-up a co-worker and arrive on time, I felt t

If you dread Sunday evenings, knowing that early on Monday morning, you will hear the invasive sound of an alarm clock, you are most likely NOT doing that which makes your heart sing.

In side of me is a door. The door separates the world inside from the world outside.

Ever since my birth my goal has been to open the door wide to let the light flood out even though I did not see the door then, I just instinctively knew of its existence.

I am time pressed, which is probably why things worked out the way they did.

How do I get from where I am to a more simple life? How do I simplify, simplify, simplify?
