“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 […]
This week, I was having a chat with Steve about the healing process behind emotions and our past memories. “In many cases, we ‘split off’ parts of ourselves that we don’t want to deal with.” he said, as we walked through the rainy streets of San Francisco. The idea behind ‘splitting off’ aspects of our […]
Yesterday, I sat at an outdoor restaurant and spent an hour observing the flow of activity happening around me. It was a busy lunch hour, powered by the hustle and bustle of Uruguayan people moving through the streets. It was beautiful. Finishing my lunch, I heard an explosive burst of laughter coming from a child. […]
