I just finished reading Civilization One, a History/Science book written by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler. The book, published in 2004, focuses on a possible/probable measuring system used by the Megalithic builders of pre-history primarily in what is now Britain and France. It later compares that system to those used by other ancient cultures including… Continue reading Civilization One
"Many astronomy sources state that astrology is not a science. Can you speak to that idea?" To answer this, I want to take us on a brief journey. The Four Elements In my novels, I discuss the four elements, which are represented by the four suits in the Tarot. I also discuss what each symbolizes:… Continue reading Astrology vs Science
Today is May 17, 2019. It is my mamma’s 80th birthday and the first one since she made her transition last August. Tomorrow, my pop would have turned 82. Those of you who know and love my parents are probably thinking about them more now than most days. I am sure you thought of them… Continue reading 80 Years

Working too… Continue reading Are you working too hard?

Imagine for a moment walking into your favorite coffee shop. Upon receiving your delicious caffè latte, you say to the barista you’ve never met before, “I love you!” Yeah, not… Continue reading Love versus Appreciation
We create from three basic places: need, desire, and appreciation. Need is certainly a motivator. I remember visiting Austin 12 years ago this month. I had sold my house in San Diego and it was about to close. Boy was I motivated that one weekend when I really needed to find a place. Creating from… Continue reading Craving Something New?
You don’t bring me joy. You don’t give me joy. I don’t give you (or anyone else) joy either. Joy is not like paint. It is not a thing. I can’t bring a gallon to you and tattoo you in the color of joy so that you can walk around with joy forever more. If… Continue reading Bring Me Joy
