Farewell the the Head Witch in Charge

Farewell to the Head Witch in Charge

As we get older, death is supposed to be easier to understand, being a by-product of life itself.  Death is supposed to be less of a surprise as we age, but yet, it still is.  Death still surprises us.  I find myself writing a lot more obituaries lately or maybe the more modern term, Celebration of Life Missives.  More surprising still, each one I write gets harder. I’ve written an obituary for my father, mother, brother, sister, two friends, Adi’s grandparents and now…Adi’s mom, Sheri Lynn Davis.  She passed away Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 11:28 pm after being ill […]

Infinity Grounding Meditation

Infinity Grounding Meditation

Adi is often the catalyst for bringing me many of the life-changing practices that I incorporate into my daily routine.  It usually starts with me resisting the idea, only to eventually give in and then become somewhat rigid in my adherence to my new daily ritual.  What starts with her gentle nudging eventually manifests into my dogmatic daily application of the practice.  Enter, the Infinity Grounding Meditation Walk.

As we embark on the journey towards success, we often hear stories of individuals who have achieved greatness against all odds. But what truly sets apart these

Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe

So few of us are taught that there are fundamental laws that govern our Universe.  I have written about this in the past and even wrote a book about the 12 Universal Laws (available on Amazon), so for me, I happen to think that these might be the most important lessons we could ever learn—far more important than what is taught in high school or college.  I believe fully that if people understood these laws more intimately, they would overcome major self-created challenges that hinder their success and happiness. It is important to understand, no matter how much you may

Second Chapter

Second Chapter

Listen on Spotify! Second chapters are often interesting and far different from our first chapter.  The first time I walked onstage to perform standup comedy was May 6, 1989.  I was terrified and incidentally, I was also terrible in my first outing.  Regardless, I was hooked and continued to perform as many times as I could at the local open mic night.  I would love to say success came quickly—it didn’t.  It took a long time being very bad before I got “kinda” good.  After working diligently and never giving up, I was asked to become the house MC at
