Bienvenue......

What's up and welcome to my blog. I've attempted this in the past however I've been unsuccessful, probably due in part to my moody as demeanor and my inability to share and be public. I've chosen to try this again today, for a couple of reasons:

  • it's Friday August 13, and while others believe this day to be filled with doom and jinx, I find it promising and filled with newness
  • Eat, Pray, Love comes out in theaters today, and since this book inadvertently changed my life, and I've just finished reading the book for a third time (sorry I needed a refresher) I figured I'd go for it
  • lastly, because I'm surrounded in this world of mine by people who think they know me, and claim to love me, and yet I feel so fucking alone, so ..... here I shall share if for no other reason - for therapy
I'm not sure what this blog will be / look like, however I will give it my all, and stay true to me and my beliefs, so if you're cool with that, nice, hold on and let's have some fun and get to know each other, if not, oh well.

So, welcome and stay tuned.

On a wing and a prayer

I'm no Elizabeth Gilbert, but admiring and understanding the author and her acclaimed best seller, Eat, Pray, Love like I do, I set off on what started as a simple vacation but became my own journey of self - discovery. It's no coincidence that I too, visited three countries. As a writer and a spiritual man, I believe in the power of three. It had been a year and a half since I'd taken a real vacation. In that time, I've relocated to New York City, moved twice while in New York, I've started a new job and been promoted twice, I've had two surgeries and countless other "eventful" experiences. Needless to say, a vacation was needed. It wasn't by choice, but timing or divine order that I ended up taking my vacation alone, something in hindsight I wouldn't change for the world.  St. Maarten My trip began in St. Maarten. I wanted to go somewhere known for its memorable underwater experience. And while in my best description, I could do the wat...

I've spent some time alone recently. I was blessed to be able to safely travel to three different countries in that time. I needed the time with myself - for myself. The thing about the company of your solitude is you have no one to cloud your thoughts, judgments or emotions. Not being able to silence those voices can be uncomfortable for many, but its in that discomfort that you find stillness. It's in that stillness you're able to confront the chaos and many thoughts, and it's in that solitude you become better for yourself and for others. I've learned a lot of lessons recently, not from current life experiences, but more so from past experiences. I've developed a new perspective and gone back to the roots of my being that I lost in the minutia of life. The universe has reminded me that I am love and unconditional love must begin with me. I've come to a place of forgiveness for those who have wronged me, and I've forgiven myself for my wrongdoings. ...

All Roads Lead Back To You

I don't know where or when I lost the most valuable thing to me, but, I know I lost it, and I've searched for it almost everywhere, except for where it really was. I'm talking about myself. I've got the timeline pegged somewhere between December 2011 and the present. Somewhere in that timeframe, my needs, my desires and passions became less important. I acquiesced on things I once stood firm on, compromise became my middle name and yours truly found his way to the back burner again - and there I was left. I read a Facebook post of an old acquaintance recently that said something to the extent that he was physically cleaning his house as well and mentally and spiritually cleaning his house. Now, I don't know if that meant he was warding off spirits with white sage, or just unloading some emotional baggage. So, I spent some time with that post and this is what it means to me. Let it go. That's right. If it doesn't add value - let it go. If there's unfi...
