Evolution not revolution I am a member of a generation that wanted to rebel against the establishment and then we became the establishment. The Beatles got it and sang about us being a group that did not want to really rebel when they sang "Revolution" in the watershed year of 1968. For those of [...]
The afternoon of life The paradox of the afternoon of life is that just as we may feel we are finally hitting our stride – if we do not take a siesta, we risk burning out – never making it to the evening of life. I have found myself looking at living according to [...]
In preparation for a series on consciousness and awareness, I have been doing some research, which led me to a number of product offerings designed to entrain the brain into a readiness state conducive to meditation. I have found a couple that I will use and be reporting back on in the coming weeks. [...]
Insights from Millennials I read a blog post from Huffington Post recently that solidified my thoughts on the wisdom of youth and the evolution of the collective unconsciousness. Today’s young adult generation “Millennials”, to a large degree, realize intuitively something that took me many years to learn and that is that Boomers got it all wrong [...]
I have spent the last few years trying to convince myself that turning 65 was a non-event. It turns out that God has a tremendous sense of humor. A few weeks ago, I, like many other boomers turned sixty-five. They say that sixty-five is the new fifty, and while I still believe that, the [...]

It's common sense; when one side is more heavily weighted, the device is thrown off balance. We work the same way. Work-Life Balance is the key driver. From what I have learned from the last few [...]
One book I have read and re-read over and over again is William Bridges' book, "The Way of Transition". This is a publication that he wrote in 2001 after the death of his wife caused him to revisit the whole process of transition. Clearly, his close ties to his wife significantly influenced this [...]
At one point, living past the age of fifty was quite the feat. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since then thanks to brainpower and technology. Otherwise, I might not be here, writing this blog. Now, longevity is en vogue. While living to 120 seems a long ways away, it is not an unfathomable goal. [...]
Last week, I experienced a trip to North Carolina’s Outer Banks like no other. For the first time in twenty years, I vacationed with a leaderless family. It was a bittersweet feeling; much to my enjoyment, I was not in control, but my mother-in-law, undoubtedly the leader of my wife’s family, passed almost one year [...]
