It is often during these life challenges… We seek to better understand: Who ‘we’ really are, what life is really all about, and what is our place in the “Timeless Wonder of […]

It can also be when you simply put your monkey minds thoughts away and just… Be. You can just ‘Be’ while riding a bike, swimming, kayaking, hiking…

Those new to mediation will inherently be astonished byhow many random thoughts pop upwhile attempting to sit ‘though free’…It’s as if they feel like they are not even one’s own thoughts. Our minds are a very complex yet intriguing study…I think it’s very common for just about everyone,including Dr. John Yates AKA Culadasa when he

For such an obnoxious blow horn that is a very self aggrandizing and pretends he is more enlightened than countless others he takes the time of belittle… He’s is nowhere near Enlightenment!

There are however Buddhist texts, up to the present day, contain advice to rulers about how to govern well, warnings about the dire consequences of ruling poorly, and admonitions to avoid arrogance and ignoring the needs of the common people.

I taught myself to meditate about 50 years ago when I was about 13. I had these terrible migraine headaches which caused me to miss school. The funny part is, once I learned I could get out of school because of a headache … I’d often pretend to have these when I needed an extra

Maui Marrying Man – Making Dreams Come True on Maui’s Romantic Beaches.

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.
After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.
Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.
We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
