Pride CAN Come Before A Fall, Living On The Edge Of The Blade.

Pride goes before a fall. Remember that saying? It’s actually incorrect. In the King James version of the Holy Bible, Proverbs 16:18. ”Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” This proverb seems to indicate that pride is a dangerous pastime! It leads to destruction, oh my! Pride must be the worst thing [...]

How To Leave While You’re In Love

"I wish one of my relationship expert friends would write a specific article on “How To Leave While You’re In Love”. This has been one of the hardest things to do because, right or wrong, I still love him so much. I just had to take a stand for real partnership that I’m committed to [...]

EGO – Need It, Use It Or Be Used By It. The Care And Feeding Of Your Ego.

The ego is a funny thing. For many it is what defines them (USED BY IT), and they daren’t venture beyond its confines. For others, it is like a cage they are trapped in. For still others, it is all that is. And for yet others, it feels like the controller of who they are [...]

Gurus – The Post-Graduate Experience

In conversation with another renegade free thinker this morning, I shared my experience of Braco, who shared his gazing gift at Agape this past weekend.

You can find my friend Ran at  http://livingthedreamdeferred.blogspot.com This past Sunday, Agape welcomed Braco (pronounced Brat-zo) and he shared [...]

44 in 18*: Adventures in House-Sitting. Lesson 7: Service

“I can’t afford to.” “I don’t have time.” “I am too busy.” “It’s not my thing.” If you have said any of these before (and I have too), get a clue! “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are [...]

37 into 15: Adventures in House-Sitting. Lesson 3: Gratitude

I remember one evening several months ago, about 9pm, packing up my car from one house-sit that had ended, with no idea where I would be staying that night. I must admit my limited thinking began to show up. I was beginning to wonder if my luck was running out (which is so ridiculous to [...]

37 into 15: Adventures in House-Sitting. Lesson 2: Humility

Humility means different things to different people. For some, it means weakness or being less than. For others it has connotations of shame or chagrin. For still others it means emptying out and being unattached. My own interpretation of humility is closer to the latter – I describe it as releasing of the ego in [...]

37 into 15: Adventures in House-Sitting. Lesson 1: Initiation

Saying there was a little trepidation as I took what was one HUGE leap of faith is about as accurate as calling the weather in Los Angeles slightly sunny! To give up where I was living and choose to house-sit and couch surf, what was I thinking? Looking back, I recognize that I had absolutely no idea [...]
