Everyday on my walks I pass by a gift shop and notice a mint green coffee mug displayed prominently in the store window. It reads: “Let that sh*t go.” I smile and walk on.
When I got off the road as a touring musician I felt like I lost my identity.
Because I chose to come off…
With so many people on edge these days, there’s a lot of anger, incivility and just plain rudeness going on in the world. zYou can protect yourself from negative emotions by self-distancing. Try to step out of the moment and watch the scene unfold as if you're the actor in a movie. This allows you…
I love fresh starts. Whether you move to a new city, start a new career or enjoy the excitement of a new love, new beginnings make life fun and exhilarating. So at the dawn of a fresh year, rather than travel to Las Vegas or Times Square to ring in the New Year, I decided…

I wonder how many of you will read this message in one sitting. I bet you can't resist the urge to bounce around social media checking to see if someone has liked, shared or followed you lately. Last night I went for tea at a new coffee shop in Asheville. The place was packed with phone zombies.…
As an introverted and shy kid going to school made me "feel" really anxious. When I expressed my feelings I was told to go and sit in the corner and "think" about my feelings. Modern technological life has also conditioned us to be in our heads. Information loves to keep us distracted and is fast becoming…
Even though I'm a long-time meditation practitioner and teacher, there are still times when I'm mindless, unconscious and unaware. Mindfulness takes practice. The more you practice mindfulness, the more mindful you become. Its effect are cumulative and totally worth it. I like the saying, "How you do anything is how you do everything." For…
