Costa Rica Calling (Part One)…

Costa Rica calling…she has always called to me. Although I have only spent time in the country on one occasion, the experience has stayed with me. It permeates my being in a way; so much so that Costa Rica inspired me to set my latest novel, Pura Vida, there. Before going there, I sensed that […]

Here Comes the Sun…

Snow fell on Texas last week as temperatures dropped to zero shutting down large swaths of North Texas. To say that this is unusual is an understatement. I wrote a friend of mine to see how he and his family were holding up and he said, “We have been without power for about 36 hours.” […]

A Funny Thing Happened…

I have always found it interesting how my life has led me to this current stage of life. I grew up in a small town in Iowa that was settled on the Mississippi River. Life in Iowa was consistently non-eventful; the people were hard-working, kind and not demonstrative in the least. From a very young […]

The Joy of Kindling

As the winter nights while away and the dawn of spring approaches, I am left feeling contemplative. The world’s wonderment lays before my eyes and I fundamentally understand that both beauty and chaos can be perceived by those very eyes. I have come to understand it is I that must seek the very beauty that […]

This Too Shall Pass

I remember a time many years ago when I was much younger and far more prone to allow the outside world to affect me that I came to my father with something that was troubling me. In hindsight, for the life of me, I cannot remember what was troubling me at the time however I […]

Snow Day

Snow fell on Texas. This isn’t a common occurrence and when it does happen it seems time stops just a little bit for those that are graced with its semi-annual presence. Usually, in alternating years snow will sneak up on North Texas and give us a light dusting that becomes the talk of the community. […]

The Wisdom Series

“Build a Covenant.” Messages come during Sadhana. It’s inevitable that when we quiet the mind nuggets of inspiration break through the silence demanding action. “Build a covenant.” This message poured into my soul and I wasn’t even certain exactly what it meant. If truth be told, I had to look up the word “covenant” to […]

Dr. Doolittle Calling…

(For my father on his birthday, may you forever Rest In Peace.) Adi and I have moved back to Mansfield, Texas. We are living on her family’s 5-acre property and although I proclaimed vociferously that I would never leave the city 2020 has shattered all norms and made all of us adapt into something we […]

Next Right Step

My faith deepened. I was pushed so far out of my comfort zone that the only thing I could do was surrender. This was 2020. A year when metaphorically we were meant to see clearer, instead we were left to investigate our lives in an entirely different manner. All things that no longer served us […]
