Avocados If you have ever bought avocados, you know that you don’t just blindly grab a couple of avocados, throw them into your cart and go on your merry way. Instead, we sort through the avocados to find the ones that are just right – not too hard, not too mushy. And hopefully you don’t […]

Suffering is a choice ~ a choice about what we focus on, what we give our attention to, how we talk to ourselves, the stories we tell ourselves, our willing to be hurt […]

Fog I have been on top of the pass in Rocky Mountain National Park when the sky is clear. The views are amazing. Yesterday there was fog and there were no majestic panoramic views. When there is fog, our ability to see is severely compromised. So often people are stuck in a fog of emotion […]
