What Is Reality?

Inspired by Alan Watts, I began to ponder how I can describe reality and the process of discerning it…

I’m Leaving LA

After almost 3 years in LA, it was time to send a grand goodbye in the form of reflection and brutal honesty…

The rebellion is in simply saying “no, thank you.”

Inspired by Alan Watts, I began to ponder how I can describe reality and the process of discerning it…

How to be a good person — a recipe for disaster.

Taking one of my favorite topics, ethics and morality, and bridging it with flowing, vivacious language to turn things upside down.

Amidst all the division and delusion we forget that on the other side is a human being.

My heart breaks sometimes when I think about how often people forget to treat others with basic respect — so this one is led by an open heart.

Is it normal to have an existential crisis every 17 days?

This one’s for those who think way too much about how they ended up on this planet and what they are supposed to do while they’re here.

I Am A Writer

Where it began — I’ve been writing for years, but this one made it official. A declaration of the expansiveness within me.

writing from the soul

For me, the creative endeavor of writing is one that puts me very close to whatever higher power there is. Usually I can feel a big theme coming up for me and the first line of the essay will come through… and from there, it’s about getting out of my own way to let the words appear. I often shock myself with what ends up on the page and sometimes I read it a week later and think… Did I really write that? Writing is a beautiful experience that helps me figure out both my light and shadows. It’s hard to explain — but that is the honest truth of it!
