Seeing Magic in the Mundane

Mundane- characterized by the practical, transitory, and ordinary. Commonplace. Day-to-day.

Their days are spent wishing for something “amazing” in the future: I can’t wait for the weekend, then I can let loose. …

Most People Hoard Possessions, but It’s Moments That Generate Monumental Wealth

My 3-year old gives a deep smile as he wriggles around on the sheets and hugs his blanket and stuffed animals (Tigery, Dolphiny, Popcorn, and Daniel Tiger.) This is a monumental moment. A catastrophic shift in our parenting paradigm. …

Are Your Control Issues Costing You Your Sanity?

I’m walking out of Safeway after a long day at work and feel a strange sensation on the bottom of my shoe, like I’ve stepped in something sticky and at the same time something cold squeezes between my toes. I wasn’t prepared for what I was about to see. Lifting…

The Boy Who Cried Coyote

The backyard is a fantasy land. Star Wars battles and unicorn rides happen every day. This is the space where imaginations rule and reign. So, when my son insisted on coming inside at sunset because he heard coyotes, I assumed it was a fantasy. “There is nothing to be afraid…

What If The Pandemic Makes Us Stronger?

You never know someone’s story just by looking at them. I was waiting outside a tire shop. My car had a flat, but I was sure they would try to convince me I needed four completely new tires and a rotation and a new axle, and a flux capacitor. That’s…

I Learned About Awareness When An Old Man Nearly Hit Me With His Car

I was walking out of the CVS parking lot, carrying my meds and a 5-foot long receipt that refused to fit in my pocket. An old Volkswagen began backing up towards me. I stopped, but it did not. The driver didn’t see me or my long receipt, so I yelled…

Dreams and Goals Are Overrated

Focus on Process Instead — I grew up in a town that loved basketball. My friends idolized and adored NBA players and dreamed of becoming great like them. We all desired this. But we did nothing about it other than playing basketball at recess or joining the school team. Except for one kid. This guy…

5 Ways Jazz Can Teach You To Get Your Groove Back

What day is it? This has become the question during life in lockdown. It’s a joke birthed in real feelings: Monotony. Everything feels the same. Nothing distinguishes one day from another. We just wake up and hit replay. Lack of drive. There is no inspiration to achieve goals or create…
