5 Pillars to Mindfulness
Much of my approach to coaching/mentoring is based on Buddhist Psychology and mindfulness techniques. Lately, I have been receiving a number of inquiries from students and clients questioning their careers and feeling overwhelmed with constant negative thinking in relation to their situations. Below are bits and pieces of an email correspondence I thought I’d share [...]
A horse named Halo
My stomach rolled with anxiousness and excitement, like a little girl getting to pick her first pony. Stacey lead me to the barn where half a dozen stunning rescue horses awaited their call to duty. I wanted to work with all of the horses; each seemed to share something unique and deeply appealing. However, it [...]
Patience is a Virtue
“When am I going to be able to touch my toes?” “When will the depression go away” “When will my marriage improve.” “What should I do next?” “How can I change my career again, right now? “How are you always so peaceful, how do I get that way, what am I doing wrong?” (Which by [...]
Spring and the Sacred Cucumber
I woke early this morning with the rise of the sun and found my contemplative throne in the heart of my garden. I was surrounded by the nights lingering chill and the early call of the songbird’s elated chatter. I was mesmerized by the refreshing light cast from the power of the great sun, and [...]

We made little paintbrushes from dried, stripped and frayed yucca leaves, paste from ground mesquite beans, and textures from leaves, fibers and dirt. We smashed up and grinded flower petals, seeds, cacti and pomegranate fruit to make rich colors and we painted [...]
Verge of Extinction; Self-Love
One day I decided to give the boys some home lessons on American plants and animals that are endangered and on the brink extinction. We learned about the American chestnut tee (and its revival), the Texas Golden Gladecress, the Crimson Hawaiian Damselfyl, The Grey Wolf, American Bison, the West Indian Manatee, we even discovered the [...]
Local To Global Justice
I am honored to be participating in the upcoming event, Local to Global Justice teach-in event at Arizona State University. Local to Global justice is a two day annual event, which seeks to connect local diversity, sustainability, social justice, and human rights issues to larger global struggles. It has become an outstanding space for the sharing [...]
Woman Born of this Earth; 2013 Year of the Feminine
As we step a month deeper into 2013 may we be inspired to step deeper into the Sacred Feminine within all beings. This is the year when the feminine energy is remembered, reawakened, and honored. There is feminine presence in all expressions of creation, so gentlemen you are not off the hook. This time [...]
