I remember reading this line while walking the streets of Manhattan and I felt my entire body release tension. Because I finally read what I was experiencing was normal. This was thirteen years ago at the beginning of my spiritual journey. And I still experience this. The only difference is I understand now this is […]

On this day, the 16th of September, 2005… I moved to NYC for a new life. I didn’t just move across the country, I intentionally wanted to let go of an identity of who I thought I was. At the time, I was a thirty-year old who dreamed of becoming a successful singer/songwriter who hid […]

We’re taught to believe everything should lead to our happiness. That happiness is the goal. And if we’re not “happy” then we have to fix ourselves in order to get back to happy. The deeper I go into my own spiritual evolution, the more I understand that happiness is no better an emotion that sadness. […]

I eventually turned this into a film, “The Dream Diaries” which, some of you have watched the trailer. I never set out to record for that long. But something beautiful unfolded each time I recorded […]

“It’s too good to be true.” That’s what people say when things come easily and effortlessly. I was looking back at my journals about this apartment and I couldn’t t believe how much resistance I had in accepting it. Because it came to me easily. Because everyone told me it would be harder than it […]

“The point of life is not to get anywhere – it is to notice that you are, and have always been, already there. You are, always and forever, in the moment of pure creation. The point of life is therefore to create-who and what you are, and then to experience that.”-Conversations with God I look […]
