P = NP

Saw a great movie tonight, Travelling Salesman.

A group of 4 of the worlds smartest white guys to write a proof the computer science view that P does not equal NP is, in "fact", wrong.

P (deterministic { i.e. finite }) problems = NP (non-deterministic i.e. infinite and random) problems.


So, it got me thinking...

If

• * * you agree that everything (i.e. the universe, God) is infinite
• * * you agree that sampling at an incredibility high rate is sufficient for reproduction

Then
P = NP


because

NP (infinite) is sampled so each slice is actually finite, and more than likely repeating, therefore deterministic or P.

After three years, there's a new post

It is August 13, 2014. I leave for the beach tomorrow with the family. I can't wait. I find stillness often now. I have come to accept that my first thoughts are typically wrong, and to let them go. Stop. Breathe. Love.

Progress Not Perfection

Life is an unending series of revolving stages, cycles if you will. There are moments of great jubilation and moments of great sadness, but most fall on the spectrum in between. Moments fade in and out mostly noted by feelings and our perspective at that time. My cycles have shortening lengths now, especially my moments of discomfort. For most of my life, when I stepped into a negative space, I would stay there until some external force pulled me out or time simply faded the negativity away. I now take a more active role in my life, and especially my feelings and perspectives. Though I do tend to see first the negative, I choose to see through that perspective and unleash the inner happiness.

I was reading my last post, yes the one from August of last year. The feelings described were similar to what I feel lately, but I noticed something else. Today, I actively seek to see the good in my current situations. Today, at least as often as I choose to, I am not content to sit in my negativity. Though sometimes, self pity can feel overwhelming, I experience it's release at my choosing. I had previously not experienced that, instead I would wait for my feelings of jealousy, self pity, and sadness to fade away or for something or someone to help me forget about them, if even for a moment. Last night as I sat in traffic feeling quite down on myself and my situation, I looked out my window at the huge sky darkening quickly with it's color fading from royal blue to black, and opened my heart. I did not think my way to anything. I choose to feel the majesty of moment and soak up the beauty of the evening. I released my thoughts and feelings to my brother Jeshua Ben Joseph and enjoyed his warm embrace.

Now I did choose to pick back up my self pity, shortly there after, but it was much less intense, much less powerful afterward. I began walking in the solution, instead of wallowing in the problem. I do that more often now, when I choose to. I do not stay in the discomfort of negativity as long now. That is not to say that the frequency of negative thoughts and feelings have decreased at all. They haven't and they may never, but I am practicing letting them go, moment by moment. I do so better sometimes than others, but I can now see progress. I can appreciate growth in myself.

I note though that this growth is anything but linear, and is wholly dependent on adherence to a program of spiritual principles. The more I practice these principles in my daily life, the more I am free to choose what thoughts and feelings I give my attention to.

I have often asked my mentors to explain to me how to practice such principles as acceptance, surrender, or even humility. I have never received a description of any intellectual value, instead the descriptions are vague at best, completely non-existent at worse. I understand why now. It is the experience of practicing these principles which define them for me. I know this sounds illogical, and it probably is, but that has been my experience.

It is my experience that, for example, defining acceptance is practicing it; to live in an unpleasant situation, realize that you can not change it, and simply keep moving forward. At least that is what it is for me today. Little by little as I kept moving forward, my experience of the situation changed. I may not have like it any better, but most importantly I was not sitting in my unhappiness, just being pissed off about something that I could not change. Instead I looked at what tasks were right in front of me, and took care of those, giving my energy to progressive action and positive direction, not defeating thoughts and painful feelings.

This is not to say that I just roll over and take what ever crap is given to me. Oh no, quite the opposite. I can now handle what is given to me by focusing my energy on those situations I can change and not wasting it on lamenting about those I can not.

-----------------------------

Let me know what you think. I am interested in your comments.

Humility and surrender

This week has been rough for me. My perception has been negative and I have been irritable and generally displeased. Even when I recognize my irrational thoughts and acknowledge that I can choose a different experience at any time, I still find myself caught in a negative energy field and find that choosing differently can be quite difficult. Unfortunately I struggle asking for help. I believe that I understand the problem and that I can work through it on my own. In response to this I have been given an opportunity to practice two vital spiritual principles: humility and surrender.

I used to, and in moments of irrationality still do, believe that though other people's assistance may make life easier, ultimately it is not needed. Sometimes I mistakenly think I am completely self-reliant. It is this state of mind that causes me to isolate from other people, and inhibits my ability to form deep personal relationships. I have been taught that an effective response to this arrogance is to practice humility.

An act of humility is asking for help. It is asking for another human being to listen to my struggles and provide feedback. It is acknowledging that I need other human beings; that I can not go it alone. This simple act dissolves my illusion of self-reliance, if only for a time. We all long to be needed, and when someone sincerely asks us for help, we find deep satisfaction in being of service. So this act of humility becomes a reciprocal blessing. It allows me the healing process of practicing humility, and the other person the fulfilling experience of being of service to their fellow man.

In asking for help, I was reminded that my method of struggling to overcome the negative thoughts may not be the best approach. That trying to think my way to better thinking does not work. The more I tried to "work through" the negative thoughts and feelings, the more energy I was giving them. The adage of "surrender to win" is true. It was suggested that I stop fighting my imperfections, stop struggling to overcome my character defects. It was suggested that I surrender those feelings and thoughts to a Power greater than me, and ask for help from another human being. The answer was simply to acknowledge the unwanted thoughts and feelings, share them with someone and let them go. I was reminded that everything is temporary. Good feelings, bad feelings, pleasure and pain come and go and come again. The only constant is change. I need not fight these thoughts and feelings. It is as silly as fighting the rain. In hindsight, the negative thoughts and feelings are a blessing, for they actually provide the chance for me to practice often neglected principles of humility and surrender.

Maybe one day I can fully experience the perspective Shakespeare described in Hamlet when he penned "...for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

Spiritual Development Paradox

August 4, 2010 by Akemi

(Photo credit)
This is going to be a very personal post. My spirit guides and teachers are accelerating the pace they communicate with me and, for little Akemi, it feels they are just dumping tons of info on me. I need to write to organize my understanding. Maybe someone among you who knows better can even help me somehow.

So I apologize if the post reads a bit messy. Some part of the post may sound redundant or contradictory. Just bear with me. Or, you can just move on to other posts that are written better.

What is spiritual development anyway?

The thing is this “spiritual development” or “growth”. As you know, I read people’s Akashic Records and clear the energetic blocks and interferences. It’s a spiritual work. And I’ve believed I need to continually work on my own spiritual development for my own good and to be a good Akashic Record reader.

I believe my clients and readers of this blog are also into spiritual development. We work on improving ourselves and our lives.

My spirit guides (SP): But the soul is already whole and complete. There is no room or need for improvement. That’s an oxymoron.

Me: Oh. Well… you are right. I know souls / Higher Selves come directly from the Source. But … you mean we don’t need to improve anything?

SP: You can train your body, you can train your mind because the mind belongs to the body. But no, you cannot train or improve your soul.

Me: But… what is all this spiritual evolution is about then? Aren’t we aiming to some high goals, like Ascension or Enlightenment?

SP: Okay, let’s go back a bit. You think you are less than perfect, and so you want to improve yourself, right?

Me: Yes.

My inner fears

As much as I write about the importance of accepting and loving ourselves as we are, with all the unique and quirky bits, there are still part of me that I am not 100% comfortable with.

For example, I gained a few pounds since last summer. I think I would look nicer if I lose these weights.

I also think I might want to work harder. My clients are waiting 4 to 5 weeks for their readings. My professionalism tells me to work harder to shorten the waiting list.

And the biggest frustration comes from this spiritual development itself. I read quite a lot of books on spirituality. There are so many good books. And as I read, I realize I am not measuring up well. Like, I haven’t done conscious astral projection. (I think we all do astral projection unconsciously.) I still have no idea about lightbody. (Damn, the linked article was written more than a year ago. What have I been doing since?) I am still concerned about petty daily things. My experience in the spiritual development is pretty limited. And so on.

I can read the Akashic Records and talk with my clients’ spirit guides, but that’s about all. Often, it feels I am just a conduit, a messenger in the spiritual world, with no real credit to myself.

I want to be brilliant so that I can help people realize their brilliance. Hopefully, I would do this simply by my existence. Instantly. I am far from being such a Light and this frustrates me a lot. In short, what the f-word am I doing here?

SP: So what do you think if I tell you you are already whole and complete?

Me: … that sounds like a big paradox. I sincerely work and work to improve my spirituality only to realize I am already whole and complete?

SP: Yes!

Me: … so… I don’t need to do anything?

Living in the Here and Now

SP: The only thing is you live in the hear and now. Completely. When you think you were thinner last summer, you are comparing yourself with the you of the past. When you think you would look nicer when you lose weight, you are comparing yourself with the future you and pressuring your current self. You are also believing you are less than desirable.

Me: ….

SP: Same thing with spiritual development or anything. You are comparing your current self with others, or the future potential you, or the past you. None of them matters to you — they don’t really exist.

Then there was a stream of visuals to help my understanding. We are like kids playing make-believe games. We are so into this game, for so long, that we have forgotten it’s just a game. We think this is reality.

Or it’s like living in a dream and we can’t wake up. (Remember the movie “Vanilla Sky”?)

Me: So let’s see… What happens when I really, totally, live in the here and now?

SP: Think.

Me: I guess that’s the same with loving myself totally. Because there is no point of comparison. I’m not sure if the word “love” is appropriate here, but this solid, focused, and warm feeling is like love.

SP: Good.

Me: This super simple feel is somehow familiar … I guess we felt this when we were babies.

SP: Yes.

Me: So living in the NOW is about waking up?

SP: It’s the gateway. You don’t wake up while you are participating in the make-believe game.

Me: But … is it really that simple? We just focus on the here and now and we realize we are already whole? And we wake up?

SP: It’s simple, yes, but may not be easy for many. Can you simply accept whatever happens to you?

The altered state of consciousness

Then my spirit guides reminded me of the experience I had two years ago. It’s something I’ve thought of writing on this blog — it’s certainly interesting — but just didn’t know how to.

It was August or September of 2008, the year I started taking clients for my Akashic Record Reading. I did a lot of work that day. In fact, I did more than I set out to do that day and it was still rather early in the evening. I remember I was feeling proud of my day.

It was still bright outside, so I decided to go out and take a walk.

I walked out of my office room (I was working on my computer) and went to the bathroom. When I stood up and turned around to flush, I almost fell as I lost balance. It felt as if an invisible hand made a big swing, causing a hard wind.

“Huh? What happened to me?”

It was different from the dizziness I would sometimes feel when I suddenly stand up (I have a low blood pressure). In those instances, I could feel my blood going down the head.

This time, however, it was something around me, not inside me.

I walked several steps to the sofa in my living room. (Tiny apartment, you know.) As I walked, the air around me felt thick, like it turned to a liquid gel. Mmm… maybe taking a walk is not a good idea. Let’s just lie on the sofa for a while. . .

Honestly, I was scared terribly. What had happened to me? Do I need to go to a doctor? But then, how do I explain this?

They’d probably think I was using some drugs. (I have never used drugs, by the way. But I’ve heard people talk what happens with certain drugs, and the sensation I was having seemed similar. But then, I am not sure.)

At that moment, I just wanted this weird condition to end. I was far from just living in the here and now. I was confused and terrified.

It ended after about 30 minutes. Looking back, I don’t really know why I was so scared. I sort of want to experience it again — seems interesting. (Needless to say, naturally, not with drugs. I totally hate the idea that some people use drugs to “induce” funny conditions.)

SP: Remember that? So do you think it would be easy to live in the here and now, no matter what happens?

Me: …

SP: People want to attach meanings and reasons to what they are experiencing. They think it’s a reward or a punishment of sort. They attach stories. The truth is, what is happening is just that. . . we are meant to just experience it.

And I have the feeling this is going to be essential in Ascension.

Okay, this is plenty to “download” for now. I am getting exhausted. (In addition to this “conversation”, there are some “road works” going on. It really feels that way — I think my spirit guides are building new connections, resurfacing the existing roads, etc.)

If you find this writing amusing, please send me some encouragement by leaving your comment. Thank you.

Underneath the Noise: Hearing the Whisper

This is a re-post from Daily OM:

Underneath the Noise
Hearing the Whisper


The whisper that reassures us everything is okay delivers its message with quiet confidence. Once we hear it, we know it speaks the truth.

You may have noticed that if you want to speak to someone in a noisy, crowded room, the best thing to do is lean close and whisper. Yelling in an attempt to be louder than the room’s noise generally only hurts your throat and adds to the chaos. Similarly, that still, small voice within each of us does not try to compete with the mental chatter on the surface of our minds, nor does it attempt to overpower the volume of the raucous world outside. If we want to hear it, no matter what is going on around us or even inside us, we can always tune in to that soft voice underneath the surrounding noise.

It is generally true that the more insistent voices in our heads delivering messages that make us feel panicky or afraid are of questionable authority. They may be voices we internalized from childhood or from the culture, and as such they possess only half-truths. Their urgency stems from their disconnectedness from the center of our being, and their urgency is what catches our attention. This The other voice that whispers reassurances that everything is fundamentally okay simply delivers its message with quiet confidence. , and oOnce we hear it, we know it speaks the truth. Generally, once we ha’ve heard what it has to say, a powerful sense of calm settles over our entire being, and the other voices and sounds, once so dominant, fade into the background, suddenly seeming small and far away.

We may find that our own communications in the world begin to be influenced by the quiet certainty of this voice. We may be less inclined to indulge in idle chatter as we become more interested in maintaining our connection to the whisper of truth that broadcasts its message like the sound of the wind shaking the leaves of a tree. As we align ourselves more with this quiet confidence, we become an extension of the whisper, penetrating the noise of the world and creating more peace, trust, and confidence.

Small inner voice

Today I am reminded to listen to the small voice of truth that is available to us all. If I sit quietly for a few moments, the voice begins to fade in, becoming almost discernible but only when the raucous thoughts of daily life are stilled. Today I will continue to use exercising my body as a way to quiet the mind.

Finding Your Joy - Be Happy Every Single Day

This post is a re-post from Today's DailyOM

Being happy doesn't come naturally to everybody. It is your birthright to be happy, choose happiness everyday.


Our lives are rich with potential sources of happiness, but sometimes we become victims of negative thinking because we believe that focusing on all that has gone wrong will provide us with the motivation we need to face the challenges of survival. When we choose to focus on what makes us happy, however, a shift occurs in the fabric of our existence. Finding something to be happy about every single day can help this shift take place. The vantage points from which we view the world are brought into balance, and we can see that being alive truly is a gift to be savored. There is always something we can be happy about; it is simply up to us to identify it.

On one day, we may find happiness in a momentous, life-changing event such as a marriage or the birth of a child. On another day, the happiness we experience may be a product of our appreciation of a particularly well-brewed cup of a tea or the way the sun shines on a leaf. If we discover that we literally cannot call to mind a single joyful element of existence, we should examine the cause of the blockage standing between us and experiencing happiness. Keeping a happiness journal is a wonderful way to catalog the happiness unfolding all around us so that joy has myriad opportunities to manifest itself in our lives. Writing about the emotions we experience while contemplating joy may give us insight into the factors compelling us to resist it.

Happiness may not always come easily into your life. You have likely been conditioned to believe that the proper response to unmet expectations is one of sadness, anger, guilt, or fear. To make joy a fixture in your existence, you must first accept that it is within your power to choose happiness over unhappiness every single day. Then, each time you discover some new source of happiness, the notion that the world is a happy place will find its way more deeply into your heart. On this day, find one thing to be happy about and let it fill your heart.

The importance of work

Today I learned how much I need to practice detachment in my life.

Like most men I know, I tend to hold my job in too high regard, it is too important to me. For most of my adult life I have identified myself by my professional success, or at least my potential for success. My self worth and self image have been tied exclusively to my success in professional or educational endeavors. For some people this may be the status quo, and if it works for you, that's fine. I do not see this as inherently bad or detrimental to a person; instead, it simply has not been working out well for me.

I am now trying a new approach, seeking my self worth from within, acknowledging my own, everybody's for that matter, intrinsic worth. We all have an inherent value regardless of race, nationality, education, social status or economic condition, none either greater or lesser than any other.

As my source of self worth migrates to more sustainable and stable ground, I have found that the relative importance of the areas in my life are shifting to a more balanced state. As my priorities realign, and my career is no longer my defining characteristic, I struggle to find a new relationship with my job. I feel that the appropriate relationship is one of detachment, where I do my level best, but feel no sense of identity with the outcome. This is quite challenging for me since I have poured myself into my work so often hoping to have the positive outcomes be seen as a reflection of my own worthiness.

Change

It has been said that we can start our day over at any moment; that today is the first day of the rest of our lives, and that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Each of these ideas point out that we have the freedom to choose again at any moment; that we can begin to make our selves anew whenever we choose. For those ideas I am grateful because they remind me that when things are not going as I would like, that I can choose again; I can find a different path; I can try a new way.

Mid summer is not usually a time associated with beginnings, but changing now is proof that we can start over at any moment, for any change is a beginning. A change is a start of a path that is different than the one we were originally on, no matter how trivial the difference may seem at first. Even if this different path supposedly takes you to the same place as the original path. Is it not the journey itself that matters most? Is it not what we experience along this new path the point of the change, not where we end up? This is why I believe different paths can never lead to the same place, because the person we are when we arrive is different; our perspective is different than it would be had we taken the original path. Since we are different, then the place we arrive is different.

The details of the change are also mostly irrelevant. Instead, it is the direction of the change that is paramount. Does this new path you have chosen, this beginning, serve you? Is it what you see as best for you at this moment? Sometimes, maybe even most of the time, we may not know the answer to these questions at first, at the beginning. We may feel compelled by a vague force to alter our schedule, to try a new hobby, to simply do the things we always do but to do them in a different order or in a different way somehow. I urge you to follow that force, to heed that subtle suggestion, be courageous and follow the instinct into newness, even if it seems trivial at first.

I have spent most of my life trying to improve who I am. Seriously, most of my life, I have spent countless resources trying to be a better man, a better son, a better lover, a better whatever. I have had so many beginnings it seems like change has been the only constant in my life. I now see the truth in that. Life is change, and change is good no matter how it may seem at first. All of my attempts at being 'better' have not been failures, but preparation, learning experiences, I needed to be where I am right now, still changing. I have experienced that successful change comes in small increments, since such changes are easier to stay with, to accept and to maintain. In the past I have tried to be a different person overnight, to change everything at once. Those experiences were not failures even though the change I sought did not occur, because a much more subtle and lasting change did. The realization that small, incremental changes over a period of time are what lasts.

So I find myself making adjustments again, being who I am. I wish the same for you. May you go with the flow of things. Be not afraid of change; embrace it.

Cycling, Music, and a great weekend

This weekend was a blast for Karina, Sophie, and I. We went to dinner at Pops in Simpsonville, and loved the food (as always). Saturday we picked up a piano for Karina (a freebie from a friend). We are thrilled about that. We picked up birthday presents for Sophie and a Jogging Stroller. We also joined the Golden Strip YMCA this weekend, and signed up for swimming classes. We rode the Swamp Rabbit trail through Cleveland Park and Reedy River Falls Park on Saturday. That was a blast!!! Karina couldn't believe she was riding in traffic (after we left the trail) on Main St. in downtown with people and cars everywhere. We stumbled upon Go Tri Sports during our ride. The guys there are great.

I found a cool route from Greenville to Clemson I hope to check out soon. Here is the map from
MapMyRide.com:

Ebb of Flow

Earlier today a friend and I talked about the ebb and flow of spiritual energy. I noted that sometimes I feel so awake or aware, and other times, I seem to only accept the concepts intellectually. Today has thus far been a day of lowered spiritual energy, less focus, and less awareness. Thankfully, moment by moment, I can choose to surrender my will to the Higher Source, concentrate on gratitude, and open up. It surprises me each time. On days like today, the feeling of gratitude is the spark that ignites the Holy Fire within, if even for a moment.

So as my friend said, every one must embrace their own humanness and know that the energy flows are not always constant, the student is not always aware or awake, and that is OK. The peace is always there, but sometimes we simply do not see it; sometimes we choose to not be aware of it. Once we surrender again, and open our hearts to the pure eternal love of the universe, then again we find the peace wraps around us, and we remember that it never left us.

Emissary Wheel

  I started reading James Twymans book The Art of Spiritual Peacemaking and started to learn about the wondrous world of sacred geometry. The book is powerful, and already I can see it changing me. I started the famous A Course in Miracle and this book really is an easier to understand version of that classic text.

gOS and other random stuff

It has been quite a while since I posted. Many things have been going on. My latest project is testing out gOS. I just downloaded it and dropped the Live/Install CD in my Dell Latitude D810 Laptop. Booted up, put in my wireless WEP Key (I know WEP is weak, but it works for me), and now I am sitting comfortably in my bed blogging about gOS! Pretty sweet. It is Ubuntu based (which is Debian based) so I was partial to trying it out. gOS originally caught my attention because it runs Enlightenment E17 release, and it is perfect for bringing older hardware back to life. This has renewed my interest in building one of my old PCs as a Linux based media center and hooking it to my HDTV and Sony Surround system. Unfortunately the spare PC I have at home will not fix the task due to hardware limitations ( I would have to find another AGP video card because the one I have is PCI, and the onboard video doesn't have any way to connect to my TV). Alas, my better spare system is in use as a router at work (way overkill for what it is being used for) so I shall swap the two systems and use the one from work for the Linux based Media Center Project.

I know this post isn't really about finding stillness, but in the stillness we get reacquainted with things we love. I purchase some cheap sculpting clay two weeks ago, and tried my hand at that as well. The last few weeks have been exciting as I keep finding interesting projects to play with, but my time is pretty limited now, so I do not get as much time to spend on my pet projects as I would like.

That is all for today. Have a great weekend.

Blogging from the kitchen on a rainy Sunday

Well, this weekend in Greenville, SC has not been a good for being outside due to the wind and the rain. So, I decided to make some cookies instead! Not one to often follow directions, I had to modify a recipe I found online. I am calling it Tony's Quasi-Healthy Chocolate Delight Chocolate Chip Cookies. The butter used was Smart Choice 50/50 butter, I used half the sugar (white and brown) and unsweetened chocolate squares to complement the semi-sweetened chocolate chips. The first batch was standard chocolate chip cookies, and the remaining batches are the Chocolate Delight cookies. So far my wife likes the first batch, but is in love the Chocolate Delight cookies.

The oven timer just went off, so I need to check on the next batch. Photos to come...

Weekend review

I always enjoy the weekend, the extra time with the family, sleeping in, doing little things around the house, forgetting about work for a while. This weekend was no different, breakfast with the family, cleaning out the attic, watching movies on Sunday afternoon; it was a great and relaxing weekend.

From 7 months

Sometimes I think that my life hasn't measured up to what I believe it could have been by now; that I have somehow done less than what was possible, achieved less than I could have. It is the weekends spent hanging out with those I love the most, doing nothing extraordinary, that give me a glimpse of just how much I have, how much I am blessed, that maybe the metrics by which I measure my 'success' sometimes, are not the correct metrics. I am subtly reminded that it is that which resides within us, that which can not be measured, that is the real source of 'success' and that the rest of it is really an illusion.

Perfect Imperfection

Some days we are reminded of the imperfection of ourselves. There is perfection in our imperfection; that the combination of all of our imperfections creates perfect moments over and over again for us to discover who we really are. The existence of our imperfection leads us back to the center of humility, from only where we can see the truth. The duality of ourselves reflects that of the universe around us, as we are made in It's image. We are at once beautiful and repulsive, the Good Wolf and the Bad Wolf. Without darkness there would be no such thing as light, without pain there would be no such thing as joy.

Monday, Monday

This weekend was interesting. We purchased a bicycle seat for our daughter, Sophie, and attached it to my bike. Sophie got to take her first ride, and it was very exciting.

Personally, the weekend, like everyday had it's ups and downs. Fortunately through a working relationship with the God of my understanding, the ups were fantastic, and the downs were not nearly as bad as they could have been. The world hasn't changed, nor have my family and I been any more blessed than ever before. The difference is that the God of my understanding, or as I call her, my HP, has opened my heart and eyes, to see first the beauty in all things, and she has helped me put first understanding and acceptance, rather than my own selfish agenda. This does not mean that I don't still instinctively think first of my own selfishness, and how others are wronging me; however, now I ask for assistance from my HP, to help take me out of myself and see more of any given situation. I ask for help in understanding others, and accepting others as they are, where they are and for who they are. Greatfully, this acceptance is increasing with regards to others, but miraculously it is extending to myself as well. For both of those I am deeply grateful.

I hope you have a blessed day, and remember, Divine help, is only a prayer away.

Long day at work. Hope to be back with the baby and baby's mama soon. Just for today.

Going to Palm Beach...

Well, today my boss and I head to West Palm Beach, FL for a couple of days of work. I love visiting places, but miss my family while on the road. This weekend Karina, Sophie and I had a great time at the 29th USCANA Convention!! It was fun, and entertaining. We look forward to next year's convention.

This weekend both Karina and I were blessed with opportunities to practice patience and understanding. It's funny as time passes, and you continue to pursue, hole-heartedly, conscious contact with the God of your understanding, things you did not even realize were broken, become so obvious! I am glad life is a journey today, one that we can appreciate and love, one day at a time.

Peace and love to you for today. Namaste.
