“Man … sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future
that he does not enjoy the present; the result being
that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die,
and then dies having never really lived.”
– the Dalai Lama

We’re only on this rock for a certain amount of days. Why don’t we work to make them as joyful as possible? This is the story of my journey to cultivate a peaceful and serene spirit. I don’t view it as something with an end destination, but something to strive for every day. I’m not a therapist, a spiritual leader, or an expert on much of anything beyond living in my own skin. I started this blog to take this journey with all of you, to hear about your own successes and struggles. Let’s walk together, friend!
