Kind At Heart & Mind
Day 308 “In Asian languages, the word for ‘mind’ and the word for ‘heart’ are same. So if you’re not hearing mindfulness in some deep way as heartfulness, you’re not really understanding it.

Whatever the conscious mind thinks and believes, the subconscious identically creates.” – Brian Adams Outside my bedroom window is a T-junction street where the base of the T is a 100-foot cul-de-sac directly ahead of me. The cross street is longer, and when I look out my window everyday, I tend to look leftContinueContinue reading “Now You See It”
Mayor Of Positude
Day 285 “Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf. If you do not practice gratefulness, its benefaction will go unnoticed, and your capacity to draw on its gifts will be diminished. To be grateful isContinueContinue reading “Mayor Of Positude”
Recognize It. Accept It. Own It.
Day 284 “Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.” – Jim Rohn At the beginning of this month, when I logged on to one of my first web-based email accounts, I was forced to changeContinueContinue reading “Recognize It. Accept It. Own It.”

Happy Feet
Day 272 “Have fun’ is my message. Be silly. You’re allowed to be silly. There’s nothing wrong with it.” – Jimmy Fallon You might recall that I’m a pack rat of sorts – I collect digital artifacts like fonts, quotes, and images. Of late, I’ve become a bit of an app collector. I bet many of youContinueContinue reading “Happy Feet”
