Ho’oponopono

Ho’oponopono.  The word itself meant nothing to me until recently when I discovered this Hawaiian practice of forgiveness.  I had never heard an uttering of this word before and knew nothing of its origins—an act of reconciliation and forgiveness.  I feel blessed that this beautiful practice has been presented to me as a way to “clear” whatever shadow self that lurks deeply inside of me. Listen to David narrate this blog on Spotify! The English translation of the word ho’oponopono means “correction,” specifically correction with our own thought processes and emotions.  “Ho” means “to make” while “pono” means “right.”  What […]

Oh, My Gato!

Our annual winter storm has hit Texas.  In northern states, this would be called the start of spring, but in the south, when one inch of snow blankets our major cities this is a cause for schools, government agencies and businesses to shutter their doors for the day so that everyone can stay home to enjoy our once-a-year snow day.  Adi and I knew “the storm” was coming, and she suggested we go to Galveston to spend the week with her parents in one of the two family homes.  Galveston wouldn’t get snow, but it would be colder than usual.

Adi and I spent several months in Costa Rica this summer and the country spoke so dearly to our hearts that we were inspired to create a new docu-reality series called Pure Life.

The Amazing Power of Kirtan Kriya

When I seriously considered meditating roughly five years ago, I really had no idea how to begin a practice.  I had heard about the importance of meditation but for me it just didn’t seem practical.  I tried meditating when I was 25 years old and my idea at the time was that meditation meant going into a dark space and quieting the mind.  I literally got into a dark closet, sat down, and tried to quiet my mind—it didn’t work.  My mind only became more active and disturbed and it wasn’t long before I got up from the closet and
