Peaceful, Easy Feeling…

People ask me all the time:  What is enlightenment and how can I achieve it?  Enlightenment seems like a hustle to me.  It seems to be an idea that makes a lot of people unhappy.  How can I become enlightened?   It appears to me to be an achievement that no one fully realizes. I think a more interesting concept to explore is peace.  How can we come to a place of peace in our lives?  What can we do to show the world what peace looks like?  I think in order to do this we have to investigate the root […]

It’s the Small Things…

It’s the Small Things… I absolutely love my morning cappuccino.  For me, there is nothing better than hearing the steam from my cappuccino machine as I am rising in the early morning to start my day.  It got me to thinking about the small things in life that I love so much; so often we fret over the “big” things in life that the “small” things really do take on a seemingly insignificant quality.  Of course, this is only because of our state of mind.  In truth, I have come to realize that if we only shift our perception away
