Patience is Action

Patience is Action

Patience does not come easy to me. I’m a sales professional for a consulting firm and avid marathoner: two worlds where success is equated to time and every number counts. A million dollars loses its value if it’s earned over two years instead of one; 26.2 miles ran in two hours versus three separates the Olympian […]

I Almost Died. Meditation Was (and IS) My Anchor.

Love Time Death Meditation Journaling

This is my fifth year of keeping a formal journal. Along with meditation and marathon running, daily journaling is one of my core spiritual practices. My day-to-day experience can often feel like a roller coaster of soaring heights and crashing lows. But after recently reading through four years of entries, it looked more like a steady barge voyaging […]

Spending focused time alone to dive into one’s depths has been part of my spiritual tempo for most of my adulthood. I spent my 20s and 30s immersed in an international intentional spiritual community where meditation retreats were the norm. However, it took everything falling apart to transform how I see these important solitary inner journeys as metamorphic […]

Losing is Good for the Soul

Losing is Good for the Soul

Don’t get me wrong. I’d rather be winning than losing. But in my culture, we’re infused with an insatiable drive to be seen as “on top”. And if you “fail”, you’re seen as “a loser”. So I thought it would be worthwhile to articulate and honor the unique gifts bestowed upon us by losing. To be […]
