Most of us go through our days recycling ideas that we had from the day before. That’s what it means to be unaware. You go through your day largely doing, and thinking, the same things you did before, and fail to see that your thinking is the thing that you could change. Being aware means you are pr...

For this blog, Soul Projects, I want to provide useful context that is actionable and helpful. For all posts, I want to leave you with something you can do to better your life. In all cases, I want to enjoy the process of writing, as this is a fun Soul Project for me. So, I have a lot riding on ever...

For some reason, I never really associated spirituality with what I thought. I guess I had a rule that said, as long as I don’t act on my thoughts, they can’t hurt anyone. As long as I kept my thoughts inside, all bottled up, then I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I had a lot to learn.

My delve into s...

People who enjoy themselves are my kind of people. When I see someone who seems to be at peace with life, or happy in their circumstance, it causes my own spirit to rise. As if to say, I see you, fellow traveler. We are one.

This sort of noticing now comes easy to me, because I know what I am looki...

Setting an intent is one way to get the most out of your spiritual journey. Here is the one I suggest: I am going to follow this path, unfolding before me, as long as it is fun. Once it ceases being fun, I will pivot to find a better feeling path that suits me.

Combining fun and spirituality is not...

When you begin to pursue your spiritual path, it’s tempting to ask yourself, what do I believe? As in, what outside of myself, do I believe in? I am going to suggest that you start that project with an intent. And it’s an intent that will help you in all areas of your life: I intend to believe in my...

Practical Spirituality is about finding your own bespoke path back to a more comfortable way of living. How you define what is comfortable is up to you, but to me it feels like I have an inside knowing of who I am, what I want, and what’s best for me. All at the same time. This sort of inner knowing...

Tapping your inner wisdom is not something I was taught, but something I learned along the way. For a long time, when people talked about listening to that little voice inside, I thought they were nuts. I thought they were being silly to refer to such things. Now I totally get it, but it took me awh...

When I started this blog, I had a goal to publish as often as I felt comfortable. Which it turns out is pretty often. When you have had a few years of working up to a Big Goal, you have some pent up energy that needs to come out. And this writing gig is giving me the perfect outlet for all my ideas....

The nature of what you experience is largely a product of what you think. What you expect. What you give your attention to. I found that my attention went, time and again, to a new post for my blog centered on one central idea: learning to say “I want.” That may be an unusual topic for a blog on spi...
