mistakes, little ones, big ones, epic fails. They make us human and that is a great thing. I've got a confession. I am a recovering perfectionist.I remember sitting in school at my desk carefully writing my name and date in upper right hand corner of my paper. If it wasn't perfect, I might try to fix it with an eraser. But most of the time, I crumple up the paper, throw it away, and start over.After driving myself crazy for years, I finally realized my need to be perfect wasn't sustainable or healthy. Sadly ...

[Music] Have you thought about what the last meal that you want to experience is. As the owner of a luxury personal care home where daily we're taking care of people who are in their final days, it's a question that I've visited quite a few times. And I believe that when our moments are few, we should make them our best.One of my favorite examples of this is sweet Grandma Margie, who one night I dished up the last little bit of banana pudding to her, and as she dug her spoon into the bowl and put it in her ...

We are so busy chasing the new that we have forgotten what makes the new possible. There's an ancient Sanskrit concept that can guide us back. Jir no dhara it means digest and advance to take what you inherit and make it flourish. I saw this growing up in an Orthodox Hindu family in rural South India. When our temples aged we revived them rekindling their wisdom for the future. The consecration rituals lasted days. Holy waters over the crowns, fire altars, offerings of spices, grains, honey, sandal paste, a ...

I ...

It was Thanksgiving weekend 2023. The family had just finished eating dinner and my wife started to complain about having a really severe headache. But this one didn't subside like the other ones had. and by Monday it had worsened. So we dropped the kids off at school, went to urgent care. When she got to urgent care, she arrived with sunglasses on and asked everyone to turn down the lights in every room she walked into. It's because any amount of light made the pain unbearable. The medicine that they gave ...
