This website is about the value of love, spirituality, the potential of the mind-body connection and the connection with all things. These are my daily thoughts about my life, my feelings, and my spiritual journey. I post these "Daily Journals" on a regular basis, so please come back often to read my latest posting.

Being Right Sized
When I looked up “humility” in the dictionary, the definition that stood out to me was “the lack of pretense”, meaning being right sized with no pretending to be something I am not. I now work at being right sized, since that seems to work best for myself and those around me. I am certainly capable of being overly confident or even arrogant, on one extreme, or self-deprecating on the other extreme. Either extreme reduces my functionality in the world. I am frequently reminded of the words in the song by Joan Baez that “I’m less than the song I am singing and more than I thought I could be”. I am clearly less than the power of love, but my capabilities and influence are greater than I thought.
