As a millennial, I’ve been blessed to see the world from several angles. It seems like only days ago that I remember using paper maps to navigate cross-country trips, rather than use Google Maps or Waze to zip through the traffic and beat your arrival goal time. When I was younger, I’d write letters to […]
In the past few years, I’ve done a lot of reading on the topic of the ego. There are a lot of angles I’ve read on the subject; ranging from radical acceptance of the ego (as seen in the world of Ayn Rand) to religious teachings that encourage one to abandon, or crucify, this veil of consciousness. […]
“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.” This week, I was spending some time on the patio (or a lot of time) thinking about my emotions. Earlier this […]
I recently chatted with a longtime friend of mine. We’re pushing a decade of friendship, and have seen each other grow through a lot of really interesting life chapters; most recently, I had the joy of watching her get married. Sharing in the celebration was one of the most special days of my life. When […]
This morning, I was riding the BART to San Francisco and stumbled across a few thoughts I felt were worth sharing. Every morning, I follow a nearly identical routine (including the same breakfast items) and intentionally open my mind to new thoughts/ideas which present themselves on the canvas of this ctrl-c+ctrl-v routine. I started to […]
Per usual, I find it harder to come up with a beginning line for this blog. Happy Hump day. When I was working as a consultant through TripleSkinny, I’d often find myself getting introduced to problems that were caused by others. Whether it was a broken website, CRM, or mobile advertising campaign, clients would often hire me […]
Alice: How long is forever? Sometimes, just one second. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow. Whenever I think about the topic, I come face to face with the parts of my life that are illuminated through the reflection of truth. Change is difficult. I can’t think of any of the big life […]
Life is a journey through choice, consequence, and the battle between learning from our lessons and painful recovery through failure. Some might say this up-and-down journey looks a lot like love. In my mind, I see love a bit like looking in the mirror. When I see my reflection in the mirror, I’m reminded of […]
There are some weeks that seem to float by without a care. Other weeks feel heavy and exhausting. This past week was more of the former. Art is about creation. Creation rarely happens without some sort of destruction; transforming a shard of clay into a vase, or career expectations for a pursuit of passion. The […]
Joyous, blissful moment, sitting on the porch, you and I two forms, two faces, yet one soul together, you and I The groves’ gift, the birds’ songs give us the water of ever lasting life, when we come to the garden together, you and I The stars of the night sky witness us we show […]
