Welcome

This blog will cover diverse thoughts and ideas to provoke discussion about Wellness, Politics, Lifestyle and Spiritual Development.  This is the short list as our world has become complex, yet overly simplistic, partisan, yet nationalistic, body obsessed, yet health ignorant, religiously fervent, yet spiritually devoid and many dichotomies that challenge daily living and perception.

The goal is to cover observations and opinions so we can seek to relate on some level.  If any of what is to come makes you happy, I have succeeded.  If it makes you angry, I have succeeded.  If it makes you uncomfortable, I have succeeded.  If it gives you comfort and hope; I have more than succeeded. 

I ask one favor.  Please read with an open mind and know that I am not tied to any conclusion I propose as I want to expand my understanding and grow.  This means I MUST be open and flexible to change my future perspective but in return, I expect the same from you.  

If you are tied to one political point of view, if you are not an exercise/gym person, if you unwaveringly badge yourself as Conservative or Liberal, if you believe your ideology is the only pertinent demonstration of faith, if you believe there is no reason for faith, if you are tied to one anything, then this is not for you, at least not yet.  “Growth comes not from stoic entrenchment.” 

This blog is dependent on me and readers being willing to challenge our notions of reality.  The payoff for this flexibility is a demonstration of human resilience and resource.   So, are you in?
