As we exited the Dublin airport at 6am, having been whisked through customs, and given a free Irish breakfast of a shot of Jameson’s whiskey, we were already a little bit in love with Ireland. Standing at the curbside taxi stand, the driver who pulled up looked...

I’ve been thinking, hearing and reading about many different ways that people allow fear to control their lives. Maybe it’s because Jan and I are staying in Sutton, Ireland, a suburb of Dublin, and I’ve been very focused on the fact that for us to get around easily,...

So my birthday was yesterday and I received many well wishes from friends, from family, through social media, and even from some businesses I didn’t even know existed. I ended up saying thank you, or writing thank you more than I have in a long time. And this...

What is going on with my vibration??? That is the question I asked myself yesterday morning. And with good reason. Do you remember last week I shared with you some of the health challenges that I have to prepare for. Well, on Friday, at the dentist’s office, I...

Remember learning your ABC’s? How hard they seemed and how simple they became. And how once you learned them, the world opened up. I wasn’t the best student, but I had a great big brother and sister, and they helped me by making up little games so I could...

So I’ve been hanging with my mother at an assisted living facility in Providence, RI. Being here, it’s impossible not to bear witness to the inescapability of aging, illness and death. The place is beautiful, it’s very comfortable, it’s warm...

Biopsies, catheters and pain… words you never want to hear. How quickly things can change as I’m riding the emotional roller coaster. At my annual physical on Monday, my “numbers” were so great that my doctor was asking me all about Be Your Own...

With our house-sit in Amherst, MA. now finished, Jan and I are back in Southern NJ for a few days. With this pause in our nomadic adventures, we’re fortunate to have some friends who have generously allowed us to “hang our hats”. It’s been a...

This is a post from Janet… Many, many moons ago, I was a teacher and director at a small synagogue pre-school. It was a sweet little school, across the street from a small farm and up the road from a garden center that sold pumpkins and apples in the fall. Every...

The other day, I was listening to something from Deepak Chopra. He mentioned focusing on seeing what is going right as you go about your day. I thought it would make a wonderful one minute practice. So I took a “wingman minute”, and repeated it to myself....

I’m expecting to have a fun day today. Jan and I are heading to Brimfield, Mass. for their annual Brimfield Flea market.. It’s been described as the ultimate antique treasure hunt and 3 ring circus. It’s not even that we’re looking to purchase...

Our community is hurting. How can it not be? With so much violence and so many innocent victims… In just the last month we’ve seen unimaginable violence in Dallas, Baton Rouge, Minnesota and Orlando. And that’s just in America. World wide, terrorism...

Love this, howyadoin? Thought you might also. I’ve actually turned it into a practice. When I wake up, I watch this and say, “It’s my life, I’m going to live it my way”. You can too. It’s your life, live it your way. You’ve...

Yesterday, Jan and I drove back up to Providence, RI from Haddonfield, NJ. There was traffic the whole way up. It was a “drive from hell” and we started to let it get to us. Oh yeah, the wingman is not immune from getting irritated and “pissy”....

I was at a party in Sudbury, MA. last night. That’s right, I’m a party animal. Anyway, I saw a great friend who I haven’t seen since before I left for Thailand.  It was great to see him. But even better, he has a new job and a new girlfriend. I...

Yesterday, Jan and I were talking about future plans and ideas. We spoke of walking the El Camino, returning to Thailand, and/or visiting Ecuador or Costa Rica. She then mentioned how one of her favorite questions when working with her therapy clients was to ask where...

I realize how challenging life can be, especially when we’re in the midst of loss. Everything seems to snowball to the point where you can’t “get all the injustices out of your head”. We all go through ups and downs. Not to overstate the...
