The Meditation Way of Life

Recently, I’ve taken a different approach to integrating my day-to-day living with meditation, and it’s been refreshingly satisfying. Different in that it’s not traditionally the way most people think about how meditation/prayer is used, but when put into practice, actually makes a ton of sense.

The Emotionless Robot

I was called an emotionless robot during a recent argument, and it got me thinking. One, for anyone who knows me well, they know I am far from emotionless.

The Many Faces of LOVE

Oh love, sweet love. One of my favorite things in the world. Do you know what I love most, about love? It makes people do things they felt otherwise incapable of. It pushes people to action.

Stay Positive By Embracing Your Negative Emotions

Recently, life threw a handful of rough curve balls and stormy skies at me. Imagine that moment when you’re walking along, blissfully happy with the shining sun, your health, your work, and pretty much everything else happening in your life when suddenly you trip, land face first into a pile of mud, ruin your favoriteContinueContinue reading “Stay Positive By Embracing Your Negative Emotions”
