I could hear their voices coming from the living room, and occasionally a few words or lyrics from a character in the movie or an artist singing a song they had playing in the background. Nonsense words were the furthest thing from my mind in those moments. I'd pause from time to time to determine who was speaking and what the conversation was about. But I continued to work at my computer in the room that was serving as my bedroom and home office while I was visiting in Europe that … [Read more...]

It is a science that explores and explains the energy patterns that create and unite everything. More precisely, it defines how the energy of creation is organized. Geometric codes create all life forms, including DNA molecules, crystals, galaxies, stars, snowflakes, the cornea of the eye, and snowflakes. All forms have spiritual meaning - … [Read more...]
The Simple Complexities of Freedom
Freedom for the New Millennium "Freedom isn't free!" I hear them chanting from the other side of the tarmac. There's a protest of some kind going on and the police are pushing them back, as far away as possible from the area where a simple demonstration could easily become life threatening. We carefully backed out of the stall and crept down the runway to get into position for takeoff. As I write this, I'm on a transatlantic flight from Los Angeles, California to Helsinki, Finland. For the … [Read more...]

Cultivating Habits of Excellence
Striving for Excellence is a Worthwhile Endeavor When you read the phrase "habits of excellence" what comes to mind? For much of my life, I gave little thought to excellence. Instead, my goal was perfection, even though I didn't use that word. I just wanted to get things "right" once in awhile. In that pursuit, the term "right" was code for "perfect" and happened very rarely. In my mind, I believed that everyone around me was better suited to achieve goals in every area of their lives, while … [Read more...]

My mornings looked something like … [Read more...]
Rhonda Sue’s Gone to Heaven
Rhonda Sue Norris was my best friend in elementary school. We were both in Mrs. Nairn's class during fifth grade. The following is my best recollection of what occurred in the weeks leading up to and soon after her tragic death... "Which state are you doing your report on?" I asked. Rhonda Sue looked past me as she answered. "I don't know. Colorado, I guess." Rhonda Sue's dad had lived in Colorado and they visited every year around Christmas. We were going from our Homeroom to first … [Read more...]
Between Hope and Synchronicity
When You Have Hope, Synchronicity Will Follow In my life experience, there has been a fine line between hope and synchronicity. As I navigate my sixth decade of existence on the tiny blue planet we call earth, I'm exploring the narrow space between hope and synchronicity, a place where the two come together and converge into something bigger... a life fulfilled. There is a photograph of me on the bookcase that sits perpendicular to my desk and work area. In the photo I'm smiling and the … [Read more...]
Everything We Do Prepares Us for Our Future
I believe that everything we do prepares us for our future. Everything that transpires in our lives, every person and situation we encounter, and everything we seek out of our own volition is in preparation for something that will present itself later on. This is the story of how I came to be an online entrepreneur. Before coming online, I worked for twenty years as a classroom teacher in the inner city area of Los Angeles. These were the mean streets, and if a child could learn to navigate … [Read more...]
