Do you think you have free will? If you do, then why are you eating that cookie when you know you shouldn’t? Why are you staying in an unhappy marriage, enduring a boring job, tolerating a toxic friendship? Why do you continue to scream at your children in spite of promising yourself that you will [...]
Every human comes to this continuously evolving planet at a particular point and time in humanity’s history. We are here for a brief moment and then we depart. In the spectrum of the earth’s life, an individual’s life spans no longer than a blink of an eye. Our tendency, however, is to get caught up [...]
In past blogs I spoke about our Reactive and Creative Selves and our need to intercept the reactions and replace them with thoughtful responses. There is no place that this intervention is more important than when we are dealing with our children. Young children are greatly influenced by our verbal and non-verbal communication. From a [...]
I was asked to blog about our relationship to money. It’s probably one of the most challenging and angst-producing issues in our lives. Whether we are rich or poor, this issue is poorly understood and handled by most of us. The reason is that nobody teaches us how to relate to money. Instead, we learn [...]

I touched on this a little in the Live in the Moment blog, but here I want to focus on the conscious and awareness parts. So much of my blog discussions involve helping you understand how the mind works [...]
Hmmm, these words just tumble out of our mouths without any regard to what they mean. You don’t have time? Really? Time is all you have! What you do with it and how you spend it is your choice, but all you have is time! You may have 80 years as I mentioned in the [...]
How many times have we all heard this statement? But when you stop and think about it for a moment, pun intended, what does it really mean? Life is a successions of moments, occurring right here and right now, in this moment, and this moment and this one. If we figured out how many moments [...]
