Every time I go on a contemplative/silent retreat I hear something different. This time I heard the Spirit’s voice through peaches, mortadela (look it up) and KFC (it’s a long story). I also heard the Spirit talk to me about shame. One morning I went for a run and all I could think about were my […]

Welcome back. You belong here. Without a doubt, when I feel afraid I’m not creative, but when I’m honest with myself and others, I feel connected and ready to change the world. Earlier I was sitting with my wife in the garage and she asked me “Why do you think you were so upset yesterday?”

I was reading an article on Phil Jackson’s book “11 Rings: The Soul of Success” (great title, btw) where Phil compares MJ to Kobe, he writes: “He [Kobe] talked a good game, but he’d yet to experience the cold truth of leadership in his bones, as Michael had.” I am finally beginning to learn the
