MOVE LIKE A JELLYFISH

MOVE LIKE A JELLYFISH

  A very interesting article appeared in the science section of the New York Times this week.  It discussed the way jellyfish move through the water. Stick with me on this. I am going somewhere, maybe not like a jellyfish, but you will see. The article states – “In the first phase, the jelly contracts its open bell and pushes water behind it, propelling itself forward. Then, the bell returns to its original shape and fills with water again. Earlier studies had… Read More

SPREAD THE WORD

SPREAD THE WORD

“Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.” ~ Joseph Conrad Ah, gossip, there are endless quotes about it.  Everyone has an opinion about it.  And most people claim never to do it. Yet, almost all do, at one time or another. Some at more times than many others. Benjamin Franklin says,  “ The only way to prevent three people from gossiping about the other is if two of them are dead. It’s one of those tricky… Read More

COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION

Communication is really dependant on one question, “How focused are you on Principles?” Do you even know what a Principle is? The Principles I am talking about serve to define behavior and outcomes. In science, a principle would define the physical behavior of an element and how it works in the world. If the behavior is consistent and predictable a Principle can become a law, like the law of gravity. Scientist’s, like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, conjured up new… Read More

WHEN NOTHING IS ENOUGH

WHEN NOTHING IS ENOUGH

It’s the final week of summer and I think this is a great time to sit back and literally do nothing. One week and the fall rush begins. Most of us are aware of the fact that often times our greatest thoughts, inspirations and insights comes when we are literally doing nothing. We could be taking a shower, washing the dishes, waiting in line to fill the car with gas, sometimes if we are not frustrated when we are stuck… Read More

LIKE A BUTTERFLY

LIKE A BUTTERFLY

The About Me section is my favorite. I have flirted with the idea of penning my password list—a seemingly poignant depiction of oneself—to realize my middle school obsession with American Idol star Ruben Studdard could be slightly misleading. On more personal forms, I would fill the About Me space with the words “like a butterfly”. It became second nature. So much so that I forgot how I had even come up with it in the first place. Yesterday, at around… Read More

THE NON-NON BELIEVER

THE NON-NON BELIEVER

When I was a child of eleven or twelve I started going to different churches with my friends.  Truth be told it was my first theater.  Again and again in a variety of faiths I answered the calling and was ‘saved’. This little toe headed boy walking solemnly down the aisle to the altar, giving his soul to The Lord managed to touch the hardest hearts in the congregation. I was adorable. I loved the attention. I loved the love.… Read More

OK ON THE INSIDE

OK ON THE INSIDE

  I was in Los Angeles last week, which always means a trip to the hairdresser and seeing the highly evolved Peter Ishkans. Peter was the inspiration for one of my first blogs here, “Make Your Mind Your Friend.” Aside from a perfect haircut I always walk away from Peter with some little kernel of wisdom. And like the sages, Gurus and other wise folk, it’s never really complicated.  It’s always a sentence, a statement, or a couple of words.… Read More

WHEN ARE YOU AT YOUR BEST?

WHEN ARE YOU AT YOUR BEST?

  Part of living a happy, healthy and productive life is figuring out when we are at our best for certain tasks and trying as hard as we can to work our life around that. It’s not always easy. Most of us have jobs that require us to show up in some form or another, others who rely on us, homes to maintain, bodies to keep healthy and minds and souls that need to be nourished. Oh right and sleep.… Read More
