Way back at good old Saint Mary's grade school on the shores of Lake Erie, I was deep into my sixth-grade year. My homeroom teacher, and science teacher, Mr. Kirst, was a bit of a Renaissance Man, both a science guy and an art guy. He gave out awards to each of his students. Each award was a...

Many think that a decision has to be a conscious choice. It doesn’t have to be. Often, we let the decision be made for us by not being conscious. Oppositely, being in Flow is another way of saying you are in control.

Little epiphanies come in all shapes and sizes. As the song lyric says, “once in a while, you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” Last week I was lucky to be part of a virtual discussion group that regularly discusses matters of philosophy,...

There is so much to do! How can I get this all done? I mean, really! Look at this to-do list. It’s ridiculous. It felt great to create the list. It was an accomplishment in and of itself. All I needed to do was get it done, and everything would be clear. The path to peace of mind,...

I was reminded last week of this saying from my high school salad days. I had sustained a pivot injury to my right knee tearing my Meniscus cartilage. Pivoting in basketball, spinning with one foot planted, is vital when trying to deke (fake an opponent out of position). When you have a bad...
