• Buddha and a Broken Bathroom

    I’ve mentioned before that I do a lot of meditation. I recently picked up a couple of books on mindfulness and the act of just being in the present moment. Doing what you are doing without thinking about all the other things that need to be done (yes, it’s easier said than done). And not… Read more

  • Day Five of the Clothes Shuffle

    I’ve had a very hard time to get motivated to do anything around the house this week… and last week. And if I’m being honest, the week before too. I wouldn’t call it depression. Just a major case of laziness. But I wake up with the best of intentions. I have a basket of clothes… Read more

I do like… Read more
