I did not consciously plan this, yet I also acknowledge that the timing is flawless. As I’m exploring The Power of Ritual (March Meditation HERE) this month, I just realized that I’m celebrating the anniversary of one of my own most potent practices. You see, I have taught an online yoga class every ...

Vlad’s B’Day Invite HERE Feb Meditation HERE I knew it would be the highlight of my week. Specifically, my semi-annual dental exam and cleaning. After years of neglecting my teeth in my 20s, I’ve become religious about my routine. Even though I’m reading Werner Herzog‘s ne...

The consequences of taking a leap of faith are by definition unknown. I have no statistics, but I wonder if following the famed advice from naturalist John Burroughs––  “Leap and the net will appear” ––Has resulted in more broken bones than safe landings. I could easily have pr...

Even before I recorded this month’s meditation HERE, there was an overwhelming amount of cosmic confirmation as to its theme. Everywhere I looked––including an introductory LinkedIn email moments ago from someone who describes themselves as a “Brand Strategist and Narrative Architect”––the theme of...

I would never describe myself as someone who was that into Halloween.  Sure, I’ve had some fun costumes over the years, but elaborate outfits were never my thing. I’m delighted to report, however, that for this year at least, Vlad has transformed that attitude. Although our weekly pack walk t...
