When you step outside today … when you emerge from whatever concrete, brick, plastic, glass, steel structure you spend most of your time inside each day, take a moment to listen for the silence that lay just beneath the pavement … just beneath the frenetic rushhhhhh of engines moving in every direction whisking us impatient from
Sometimes I hear a voice in my head grumble, “Why bother blogging?” If there’s already so many thoughtful blogs out there, what difference could my voice possibly make? Anyway, it seems I’ve set a high standard for myself; if I don’t think I have a real wowzer to share with you, why say anything? But
I was recently the Minister at a Gay Wedding Ceremony between two beautiful men in California. Facilitating this public witnessing of Love’s complete lack of prejudice is one of the most deeply satisfying highlights of my already adventurous life. I’m a deeply heterosexual man … and I know this with certainty because I spent a
Ohhh, this life is so gloriously fleeting … please enjoy deeply whatever moment you find yourself in. No matter how crazy things seem; it will all be over so quickly.

However, I’ve recently started “designing my life” … thanks to an insight my own personal life coach helped me discover, and I’m so inspired that I want to share
I did it. “What did you do?” you ask. Why, I completed a 30-day woman fast, of course. Where’ve you been? “Yeah .. seriously .. what in Eve’s name does that even mean?” you respond, completely perplexed. Ahhhh … a fair and cleverly articulated question. As I’ve assured you before – and perhaps this lady doth
I went dancing a few days ago and quickly found myself surrounded by painfully hot hot hot ladies dressed in … let’s say, enterprising ways … specifically designed to arrest my attention like it was a fugitive from the law. Then today, I ate lunch with 3 beautiful, amazing women. Did I mention I’m on a
What deeper truth(s) are you denying? What is that likely costing you? So many of us haven’t been confessing our socially-awkward truths for a long time, around a lot of things, but especially around sexuality. Not to the people around us, and often not even to ourselves. We’re persistently denying deeply-stirring desires, hiding fears and
