For my next challenge, I chose to try meditating for 30 days. The first difference I noticed between the drinking challenge and meditation challenge is the inherent difficulty in an active challenge versus resistive challenge. By that, I mean that with drinking, I was resisting an old habit. I was abstaining from doing something and … Continue reading 30-Day-Challenge: Meditation
30 Day Challenge I: Drinking
I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I began my 30-day drinking challenge around the time that Bruce Lee Challenge began. The challenge was to say your affirmations, treat your body well and be kind to others. I decided to quit drinking.

People I’ll Miss
This is a terrible list. A horrible list. A list that is good only when someone makes it in a timely fashion. Not all of us are lucky to make this list in a timely fashion, but even those who do, it isn't pretty. The idea of dying in one's sleep with all affairs put … Continue reading People I’ll Miss
