Reflections on spirituality, personal transformation, nonduality and all that mojo stuff.
I anticipated being stuck in the house from the blizzard. I enjoy that sometimes, being isolated from the world for days at a time. It’s the hermit in me.
Here is a picture of what the deck looked like tonight. To the right is a lounge chair piled with snow.

Here is my own experience on the importance of a positive attitude and how it helped me with my career.
