We all have freedom of speech for the most part. We say what we feel while using the words that we choose. So what happens when we hear a word or a slur that does not fit in our mental box? Do we get offended? Lash out or return the favor? Why does it affect us?

Those things that we want to do,but we don’t. The places we plan to go but we don’t. Why do they get by us and how do we keep getting in our own way? Is it overstimulation or bad planning? It depends on us. I’m working on it...

If you were homeless for 8 years, how would your mind operate? Would you be calm, or stressed, or just plain old normal?? I met a homeless woman today and her calmness and resolve floored me as I gave her just over bone dollar..People still fascinate me..

I am always learning. It’s one of my favorite parts of life. Each day a lesson jumps out of somewhere. This is a brief description of my time in the MOMA store. One of my favorite places in NYC!!

The world is full of many types of people. Somehow the mean people get lots of ink as it is said. How much do you let them bother you? Can you say that they hinder you from time to time? What is your formula for managing them?

We all have a past. Some of us don’t speak of it much, but it’s still there. However, in the now is where the action and the pure energy is. You can shape the now like a crust on a homemade apple pie. The now is so important.

Each human being navigates this game of life in a different way. We don’t have everyone’s schedule, nor should we. The trick is that we want things to move in our favor as much as possible. When it works it’s great. However, when it does not, we have to discipline our disappointments. Our time is valuable. The lives of others are as well.

Sometimes we lose money. It happens to us all. It affects each of us differently based on our relationship to it. Do you get anxiety from losing money? Does it make you about tense? How do you react initially? Here is a story about how I watched my emotions when it happened to me.

Oh this city. I could probably do an episode every day on it if I wanted to. The early morning in NYC is on another level. Period..

Sometimes things get by us too quickly. They seem like one thing, but really are another. This acronym stands for Really Take A Look. Meaning, if you look more intently, you will almost always find something different. It may even benefit you far beyond what you assumed it would before. Paying attention really pays off.
