This evening as I was getting ready for bed I had the movie Invictus on in the background.  Whatever difficulties I may have they are nothing compared to what other great people have overcome. So I am grateful for these gentle reminders.  Keep moving forward. Run, walk or crawl, keep moving forward.  

我感谢不同的人，不同的文化，不同的观察方式，……我很感激高潮和低谷。 对于电梯和打击。 我感谢生命的无限香料。 我感谢品种。

After banging a brick wall with a hammer, trying to break through and see some light, years of banging, I am finally able to see a crack of light. Today I am in beautiful British Columbia, it says so right on their license plate, working with a company, implementing a new warehouse management system for…

Life is a little full these days… a little hectic. And I’m not alone in the arena. So, tonight, two of us overwhelmed humans clashed. I was one of them. I am grateful for calmer minds that were able to intervene and keep things rolling. The work got done. Diplomacy.

Yesterday I flew from Southern California to Vancouver, British Columbia.  It was a busy morning, I had some errands that I had to do before 10:00, so I really did not eat any breakfast.  I had two cups of coffee and some chips that were leftover from a Poke salad.  I had a little time…

Strange as it may seem, I am grateful for being able to walk down the street with Marlin and purchase a box of Frosted Flakes. You see, I’ve been craving Frosted Flakes for about four days straight now… It might not be a wise choice. It might not be sane. But tonight, before I go…

Yesterday my older sister shared an email that she had received from one of our distant cousins.  This email had some old photos of our grandparents, uncles and great grandmother.  There are not many photos of our great grandmother, so I am very grateful to have another one.  She looks like she was a strong…

I am grateful for the ability to schedule a post. the end

This evening, as I was talking with my brother, he wished me a happy valentine’s day.  To which I replied,” every day is valentine’s day”.  An for me, it is.  We should share our love with everyone everyday. I am so very grateful that I have a wonderful partner with whom I am able to…

As of right now, this very moment, I don’t believe that I have to travel anywhere next week.  That is subject to change, but right now, I can stay in one place.  Living out of a hotel is not too much fun, especially when you are up very early, working by 05:00 in the morning…

Redundant? Maybe. True? Absolutely. This week? Seems to be about LOVE. I am listening to Viola Davis’ autobiography, “Finding Me: A Memoir”. This fuckin’ true story… man – it breaks hard and opens up beautifully. It is giving me strength because if she can rise through the challenges of her life… and even arrive sometimes…

Yesterday my brother and I had a conversation, like we always do, daily, during the weekdays, he was telling me about a video that he saw of Carlos Santana talking at one of his shows in Las Vegas.  The subject of Carlos’s talk was love and how we all have love inside of us and…
