Adventures in Mracles

The spiritual part of my life is like trying to describe the wet part of the wave...it is all a miracle.  I believe what Einstein said - "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.”

Chicago Marathon 2010 - Run toward your Roar!!!

Experience is the thing that enables me ot recognize a mistake when I make it again...Today I live to make up for the mistakes I have made...Forgive me and help me to easily forgive...

Run for Gua Africa - Run toward Your Roar!! Be Unfraid

"We can do anything for just one day.  So, just for today, let us be unafraid, unafraid of life,unafraid of death, which is the shadow of life; unafraid to be happy, unafraid to enjoy the beautiful, to believe the best.

Just for today let us live one day only, forgetting yesterday and tomorrow, and not trying to solve the whole problem of life at one.

Run for Gua Africa

August begins the month of brotherly and sisterly love and the month when my Run for Gua Africa begins in earnest. I have been preparing for almost a year for the Chicago Marathon and the Run for Gua Africa. We lose to win. Never Give Up. Never Give In. These are the motto's of Emmanuel Jal and my mantra at this race.

All my changes are easy to make

In order to change my life outside, I must change inside.  The moment I am willing to change, it is amazing how the universe begins to help me.  It brings me what I need.

Every problem brings a gift...

There is a solution to every problem and, to me, now I seie that every problem truly is an opportunity of some kind.  We create habits and problems to fulfill a need.  When I can find a positive way to fulfill the need, I can release the problem.

Perfection Procrastination

A common trait of alcoholics is perfection procrastination.  That is the illogical idea that we need to do things perfectly and we will only do these things if we can do them perfectly.  As a result, we procrastinate. We put it off until we feel ready.  Now, I just do it! I begin! This is why I believe strongly in the statement by Goethe when he says "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, BEGIN IT!!! Boldness has genius, power and magic it it!
