Maybe 25 years ago an insightful and respected colleague told me I had been an architect in possibly more than one previous life. I always seem to appreciate architecture when out and about and have traveled quite a few places in the world where I've enjoying it. In this life I’ve become not only an artisan, but also one who conceives and designs new things that seem to inspire others.  Often these are products and I’m also finding I have innovative ideas and approaches that many value. I’m most grateful to the One who rotates the earth and looks after our...

You and I on this planet earth? It is likely that every person you talk to or ask this question to will offer a different perspective.

It was early August 2011 when I met with Bhai Sahib at his office in the Nishkam Center. I had the...

I was bullied some in my teen years. When I went off to college in Upstate New York back in ‘72, I began embracing martial arts training. Being among the most empowering things I’ve done in life, I’ve never really stopped that training. I’m most grateful for the fear it has helped me leave and the skill set it has provided in life, to not only have the capacity to protect myself and my family but others as well. I've come to believe we can leave up to 70% of all fear through ‘intense practice fighting’ (wearing protective padding, gloves,...
