Weekly Adventures

Fittingly, I’m writing this on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Indeed, although more than a few years have passed since I was a full-time student, I still feel a deep attachment to the academic calendar. Starting fresh in September still makes sense to me. In fact, later this month, we’re soft...

I almost didn’t throw it into last week’s email but I decided at the last minute to add something parenthetically. Interestingly, amongst all the other content, this tidbit definitely provoked the most responses. Namely, while writing about Identity (this month’s theme and new meditation HERE), ...

First, I must report this as both a very quiet and yet very public victory, one that’s important to celebrate as the summer draws to a close. Namely, that ever since June 26th, the baseball field has remained unlocked. Thanks to the spring-time efforts of my kindergarten teacher friend Bonnie and her...

Although I thought it could only happen in the movies, I’ve now witnessed it twice. I’m referring to that magical moment when you receive an uncanny crystal clear cosmic answer in public.

Often the first (and sometimes greatest) challenge to Accessing Our Intuition is that there are so many other voices competing for airtime. Usually, they are loud and overconfident, demanding that we not only pay attention, but also follow their strong suggestions. I cannot help but be reminded of th...

It felt almost biblical. Indeed, the event definitely stirred some low-grade apocalyptic feelings. Two weeks ago, during the middle of my first pottery class––the one I wrote about HERE––I caused a flood. Specifically, after watering my vacationing upstairs neighbor’s terrace, I didn’t quite turn ...

I’ve never actually made an official list but I definitely have a sense of what would be on it. Namely, I could easily bullet point multiple activities I’m convinced I’d be quite good at despite technically never actually having done any of them. Take, for example, surfing. All the years of yoga h...

I wildly miscalculated the biggest drama of the week. Namely, I was geared up for the penultimate playdatefor Vlad and his “business partner” Moon. Moon is the German Shepard mix who along with Vlad, Miku, and Chase form the informal pack of most Fetch-Driven Hunting Dogs. You see, without consult...
