This morning I dropped my 365th bead into my blue bottle. Wow. Its been a year since we began this journey and it has impacted my life in more ways than I could ever imagine. What initially began as a sort of light reminder as to the value of each day has become a sort […]
This week’s thought, and the last one on this theme of ’grace’, is tremendously simple. I feel incredibly graced with wonderful people in my life. Yogi Bhajan said that people come into our lives as lessons. Every interaction is here to teach us something, and ever since I took on that point of view, my […]
Its easy to be nice to people who are nice to you basically and the same turns out to be true of a multitude of other things, like kindness, compassion and grace. I guess thats the measure of ones real ability to be gracious, if you can extend that to someone tricky. Grace periods can’t […]

This week I severely put to test my ability to be gracious and in fact probably failed in my attempt. I answered the phone to a number I didn’t know for sure but who I had a seriously strong inclination was a sales call. It turned out to be a very chirpy voice banging on […]
Recently when I was on a hike up a canyon I watched a hawk circulate. Being a mime and having studied the nuance of animal movements in Paris I began to imitate the birds flight. The first thing I noticed was its incredibly focus; a tiny shift of a wing determines the direction and the […]
The night before what felt like Christmas was a Thursday night. I had had issues with my beads and didn’t know how I was going to verify the number. I wanted precision. One of the things the beads are already impacting my life with, is that I want to lead a precise life. I don’t […]
