How to Live More Intentionally This Year
What does it mean to be your own person? We can’t ignore the mounting conclusion that we are summations of our past experiences, various environmental factors, and the genetic legacy we have inherited from our family trees. The good news is, if you are the kind of person who is looking to have more connection and joy, based on genuine feelings and honest experiences, you can influence those factors to a significant degree! I find this topic fascinating.

2020 Words
It is that time of the year where everyone is sharing their word for the year. As I grow older I find I am having a harder time committing to overly positive and ambiguous words.

This book is for anyone who has ever wondered where our “selfies” and “individualism” ideas and behaviors come from, the impact of over-praising and cocooning children, and why we accept fakery as real. It does so in…

Define Yourself
Where can you go for a good taco these days? If I asked you to share with me your favorite taco joint, where would you send me? I hope you tell me about your favorites. But lately it seems that instead of sharing what we love and why we love it, we insist on telling people their experience is invalid. We tell them what they should like. We quickly put down other people’s preference and we shun those who don’t agree with us. I’m currently binging Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. Season 9: Episode 1. In this episode Bourdain explores the Los Angeles area through the eyes of the Mexicans and…
