There’s some major construction happening outside my window at work. Heavy machinery is fascinating. You know what else is fascinating? The ways we make ourselves small. The ways we fall apart. The ways we crumble. One of my friends recently told me that they were afraid that someone on a dating website would crush them.…

There’s a difficult thing that you’ve been wanting to do that is at your limit. Do it. Want to get on those bike trails? Want to go to the party on Friday and not drink? Want to do a TED talk? Want to try a power yoga class? Want to believe something new about yourself?…

My student started his speech like this: “You know that annoying person at work? The one who drives you crazy, who insists on doing that annoying thing that you can’t stand?

Having a drink with Shireen and Katie at a local bar. Guy walks up next to me and joins our conversation. We crack some “Saved By The Bell” Zach Morris and AC Slater jokes. Shireen looks over his shoulder to see that he has left his friend at a table behind us. She turns to…

Have you ever caught yourself thinking about the worst case scenario? Fighting, yelling, being left out of something special? Having someone you really care about say something terrible? The worrying mind: I create vivid future nightmares and then hope they don’t come true. UGH. I gotta stop that. Let’s do something more fun. If you’re…

Recently, I got into an Uber to go to downtown and meet some friends. When I got in the car, I asked the driver how he was doing. He was not doing so well. He had a list of complaints for me. Tired, weather, some chick damaged his car, yadda yadda. UUUUUGgggggggghhhhh what a bummer,…

I know a lot of dead people. What happens after death? I’m not sure, but I’m very curious about it. There is definitely a spiritual realm that I’ve bumped against and don’t fully understand. And so, it was really fun to go to a party with a medium. Being a medium means conveying information from…
