Mindfulness & Spirituality

Whether it’s a bright, luminous glow on a clear, crisp morning, or a tiny sliver of a crescent just after a new moon, something stirs within me when I see the moon. I have always tried to pay attention to moon phases as I do the cyclical changes that each season brings. Doing this gives […]

The loss of a job, business failure, a divorce, the loss of a loved one – difficult times like these can leave you feeling hopeless, alone, and completely powerless. While I am fortunate to have never been through divorce or the loss of a loved one, I have gone through job loss, business failure, bankruptcy, […]

Tracy and I did a burning ritual this morning to release things that were holding us back in our lives. This is something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time, but we kept putting it off (yes, procrastination has been holding us back!) It was a beautiful, sunny, and chilly morning to venture […]

Do you ever get so stressed, so overwhelmed, that you take care of everyone and everything – except for yourself? Even if you know you need some self-care, you might not have the time or the energy at the end of a long, draining day. So you crash in front of the TV until you […]

Tracy and I have wanted to get a Tibetan singing bowl for the longest time. We love the sound of them. Tracy regularly listens to Tibetan bowl mediation music on Youtube.

Becoming more mindful has been a long journey for me. It’s something I never thought about as a kid, and when I became more aware of it as an adult I would roll my eyes and say it was something that I didn’t need or want to do. I mean, who has time to sit […]

You have big goals. You have big dreams. Perhaps your goal has been to lose 50 pounds, or start a side hustle. But something always prevents you from getting started, or achieving your goal. Months or years pass and you either haven’t started, or you haven’t finished what you set out to do. The most […]

I am not a good minimalist. I tend to collect things. I hold onto things. And then I go through phases where I purge, like when Tracy and I moved to Mexico back in 2010. We sold just about everything we owned except for what would fit into two suitcases and four carry on bags. […]

Motivation is easy when you first start a goal. But it’s hard – almost impossible – to keep a high level of motivation over the long term. The bigger your goal, the more you tend to struggle with staying motivated. In this article, we’ll go over three big reasons for why you lose your motivation. […]
