#63 Everyday Mindful Moment - The Moon
#63 - The MoonGrowing up, I wanted to be an astronaut, although I wasn't into Star Trek. I just wanted to go to the Moon like Neil Armstrong, wear my little red sweatshirt covered in NASA patches, and go to the planetarium. When I looked up at the sky, all my worries seemed so much smaller at night.This week you might have seen the latest supermoon. It might have felt like you could have grabbed it and pulled it toward you. It was stunning, and the next one is on August 1st. As you know, I didn't become an astronaut,...
#64 Everyday Mindful Moment: Pencils Down
As we close out July 4th, we must give the Second Continental Congress its flowers for writing one of the best Dear John letters, or should I say, Dear George? Today's Congress probably would have ghosted the king, but that's no way to end a relationship - of course, fighting for eight years isn't great either.

Going away is about discovery and adventure, but as much fun as it is to travel, I love coming home. During my abbreviated ride across New York State, I had to pack light, so I left most of my toiletries at home. Actually, this is typically the case as I tend...
A moment to pause
On Sunday, I left for my bike ride across New York State, but three days in, the air quality deteriorated due to the Canadian wildfires. I decided that the best way to honor my health was to stop in Syracuse. One of the highlights was cycling through Chittenango. It's the birthplace of L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wizard of Oz. In town, there's a long section of yellow brick sidewalk. Dorothy's story is timeless and relatable. She traveled far and faced obstacles like flying monkeys to discover that she only needed to experience certain moments to figure...
