Ghosts
Everyone struggles with ghosts, usually the residue of our childhood or other significant emotional traumas. These are resolvable — if we will do the work. In my case, the ghost has been the disappointments wherein I have attempted to promote myself, either through my workshops or my books. I sincerely believe that the skills and…

The Search 2 – Introduction 2
For simplicity, I have decided to entitle any future posts related to this book The Search To Be Fully Alive as The Search # – Chapter n #. These may change over time but for now provide consistency.

The Search To Be Fully Alive
On my last post, I noted my intention to write a third book (beside my first two, see previous) entitled The Search To Be Fully Alive: The What and The How. This choice came about for two main reasons: I was seeking to engage further both with my blog and with my life. In particular, I…

Amongst the various issues, the home page was weird, the organization of the previous posts was weird, and I don’t have time for resolving such issues. As such, I have over-extended myself.

First, the switch-over has been much more complicated and I am uncertain how long the transition will take, but it will certainly delay my engagement. For now, here is the first post that I planned: Human beings are social creatures; that has been our success…

Awakening From Your Anger — A Rebranding.
For those of you who follow my writings, you will know that I have not been very active for a year or so. In many respects I had said what I wanted to say about the human side of global warming, and I cannot say that I have had much impact. I do recognize that…

Feedback on my Books: Acedia, the Darkness Within
Acedia, The Darkness Within I have continued to promote my books as I still want to have an impact, and I believe what I have written is important. My publisher, Ewings Publishing, suggested I hire some professional reviewers who would provide independent objective assessment of my writings. Attached are these assessments. The disclaimer provided notes:…
