  • The Best Week of My Life

    I spent the first week of December in silent meditation at Upaya Zen Center. This was my first in-person meditation retreat, and I was not sure what to expect. In short, I can authentically say it was the best week of my life. Many of my friends and clients have been eager to hear how

  • Spreading Joy

    The holiday season is upon us. Connecting with family and friends can bring tremendous love and joy. For many, it is also a source of anxiety and frustration.

  • Welcome Josh. Enjoy your stay.

    Last week, I wrote about a delightful child I visited and the note she left on my door welcoming me to her home. That note is now on my office door, a reminder of the love within all of us, so readily apparent in children. Recently, while reflecting on this message, the note took on

  • Lucid Dreaming

    I have long been fascinated by lucid dreaming. I recently experienced it firsthand, and as I processed it, I found a surprising parallel to a strategy I often discuss with my clients.

  • The Mirage of the Mountain Biker

    Soon after I arrived in Santa Fe, I met a lovely couple in the Historic Town of Lamy named Kris and Pat. They are runners and had recently purchased mountain bikes. They were incredibly enthusiastic and encouraged me to get one, highly recommending a particular store and salesperson to work with. Mountain biking was one
