  • Will I Be OK?

    Will I Be OK?

    I have mentioned in several blog posts that I sold my Functional Medicine practice. Here I am 6 months later. That transaction was an amazing example of the intersection of timing, Grace and where I am at this point in my life. Much of the time I am living in the present moment. Grounded into…

  • Our thoughts. Our beliefs. Do they always support us?

    Our thoughts. Our beliefs. Do they always support us?

    We all create a belief system. Influenced by family, friends, religion, politics, life experience and the general perceptions of our lives. For some people their belief system is fixed, unyielding and without question. They might actually die to protect it. For others, there belief system is more flexible. More accommodating to the changing nature of…

  • Grace & My Life

    Grace & My Life

    Grace has played an integral part in the unfolding of my life. The unexpected “gifts” bestowed by “God”. As I write this blog, what resonates more accurately is bestowed by the mystery that lives all things. For me the word God feels limiting. To many preconceived meanings. Who is worthy of grace. Do you need…

  • My Personal Prayer

    My Personal Prayer

    I usually wake up about 6:30. Part of my morning practice is to meditate for about 15 to 20 minutes and then I recite my own personal prayer. It has been my experience that the entirely of humanity all seem to pray about the same things. Prosperity. Money to support their lives. Good health for…

  • Finding Validation for My Life

    Finding Validation for My Life

    Hacklebarney State Park, NJ. Part of my spiritual origin story. A very special place for me. I have been going there for at least 50 years. I went there to pray. To meditate. To restore myself. To do medicine. Planted prayer arrows. To be in nature. To have fun. On hot days, I would go…

  • The Timing of My Life (Part 2)

    The Timing of My Life (Part 2)

    There is so much to be shared about the timing of anyone’s life. When you find yourself in a clear relaxed space and reflect on your life, I think you too might see more clearly the connection between synchronicities and how they are related to the various unfolding of events in your life. I find…

    The Timing of My Life (Part 1)

    I have found that there is a timing to the unfolding of my life.  Lately I have been stopping at Plum Market on my way to work. They sell reasonably good coffee for $2.00 a cup. The most direct route to my office compels me to turn right out of the Plum parking lot and…

  • Resistance & Procrastination

    Resistance & Procrastination

    It has been one year since my last blog posting. I have been studying, leaning into my resistance and procrastination around moving into the next part of my life. I have been working in my functional medicine practice for a bit over 20 years. That part of my life feels complete. I have been feeling…

  • Learning to let go of the need to be right (Part 2)

    Learning to let go of the need to be right (Part 2)

    I had two friends over for New Year’s Eve.  A couple. I have known the man for well over 40 years. He has been with his partner for over 10 years. Needless to say, there is a lot of history. I find that the woman has some rather strong opinions. Opinions about life. About her…

    Learning to let go of the need to be right (Part 1)

    It has been a long time since my last blog entry. Without looking, it has been at least 10 months. I succumb to inertia. I am sure many of you know how easy it to give oneself over to inertia. Maybe that is the “Dark Side”. Or at least a part of the “Dark Side”. …
