Humans are habit driven. Even the most free spirited soul has their routines, though they may not seem so routine to others. In some ways, our habits are what truly define us. Ultimately, this means to obtain holistic health, we must create healthy habits for ourselves. This is not always as easy as it sounds. And […]
In this age of constant communications, we are inundated with the expectations of others. We are bombarded with images of how we should look, descriptions of how we should feel … in short we are the target of many with ulterior motives. Sometimes the motives are pure, more often it is to manipulate us for […]
Much has changed in my life since I first introduced myself and this project. I am updating the site so it is more current to who I am today. It seems appropriate to modify my self-introduction as well. So here is the new and improved “Who the hell am I?”: If you are here on […]
It is awe-inspiring how many problems we have with others stem from our own self-image.

The “information age” allows us to express our ideas by basically borrowing those of others … I would say a better description of the times is the “meme age”. Where once social networking was inundated with […]
