The Best Adventures Begin with Choice

Most epic stories or adventures begin with a dramatic life change. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, decided to go on an incredible journey to Italy, India, and Indonesia after a devastating break up. Elliot's life was completely turned upside down when E.T. arrived. Queen Elizabeth I took the throne as England's first sole female monarch after the death of her…

Justice vs. The Fool

A couple weeks ago, I went to see Kamaljit, my favorite masseuse in the world, for a long overdue massage. I absolutely love my time there. I always feel like I'm in a safe and sacred port. On this occasion, Kamaljit decided to try something new. She had just journeyed to Santa Cruz to buy new Tarot cards, and as we…

6 Questions Worth Asking Yourself

I've been giving these questions a significant amount of thought lately and thought I'd share. Would love to hear what compelling questions you ask yourself. What do you LOVE? What do I LOVE to do? What do I do best? How can I help others in a way no one else can?* What do I want to change about the…

Writing Your Life, Part 2

First off, I want to thank everyone for their thoughtful, kind, and wise comments on my initial post, Writing Your Life. One of the many things I've learned and gained from this ongoing experiment in living is to be open and vulnerable (see The V Word) with others. I'm deeply grateful to everyone for listening and commiserating on questions we…

Cleaning House: Making Room for a New Year

The Chinese have a beautiful tradition for Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year. Each family cleans their house thoroughly before the end of the year. In mopping, dusting, and sweeping every nook and cranny, the old energy of the previous year is cleared away, and there is space for the new. On the first day of the new year (according…

Why don’t you quit your job?

I've been talking a lot about 6 Months to Live with several new people lately, and it's always interesting to hear people's comments and questions. One person sarcastically asked, "Well, if you only had 6 months to live, why are you still working?" I read him a quote from my Kickstarter Project: "Most of us have no idea when our…

“Angry Girl Inhales Waffle Cone”

Today's headline might have read something like this in my world. It was a rough day. After biking home, I took a swift walk to the park and unloaded my frustrations. My mom patiently listened on the phone, as I told her about everything going on in my world and then she said "I love you" and goodnight. Haight Ashbury…

Whole People. Whole Lives.

I recently took a risk. I added business contacts to my Facebook page and uploaded my personal blog on LinkedIn. I've always maintained a clear line between my professional life and my personal life. This seemingly simple switch came from a recent conversation I had about modern global leadership. Integrating Personal + Professional I will be the first to admit…

Saying Yes! The Banjo Post

When was the last time you did exactly what you felt like doing? Not what you "should" do, not what you kind of wanted to do, exactly what you wanted--no compromises. How many times a day do we tell ourselves, "not today" or "one day?" Photo by Tian Jiang What have you been putting off? I woke up about a…
