My Other Father   I sit at my father’s bedside listening to his breathing. The rhythmic gasps of the ventilator disrupt the stillness of his coma. A monitor glowing lime green displays his blood pressure, screaming when the numbers drop below safe levels. His pulse flashes blip, blip, blip across the screen. Wires of blue, white, and yellow disappear under the edge of his hospital gown. My father has a hole in his neck. I can’t stop looking at it. A bandaged incision runs the length of his chest. A nurse tells me the surgeon sawed through my father’s breastbone to reach his heart. I knew him so little before his surgery; now I must know everything, every detail of the violations to his body and wholeness. Each day I sit by my father’s side, talking to him, hoping my familiar voice will call him back to waking. I tell him about the February sunshine, the Chinese restaurant down the block—anything just to keep talking. He gives no hint that he hears me, no sign...

Why I’m No Longer Hiding Behind My Privilege and My Spirituality     “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” ~Anne Frank   We’re all just spiritual beings, bumbling along in human bodies, trying to make our way.   Trying to find the delicate balance between living in a physical world and embracing our higher selves. In my quest for spiritual enlightenment, I learned how to narrow my focus. I learned to tune out the noisy Facebook newsfeed, I don’t watch the news, and I avoid saying things just for the sake of controversy. For a while, this worked. As my vibe rose, I started living a life more fulfilled and happy. Whenever people around me got hung up on the latest news story, I was content to basically plug my ears and say “nanananana not listening” and go back to my abundance-minded podcasts and books. I meant well, I really did; my feeling was that if I were to just focus on the problem,...

 REDISCOVERING YOUR INNER TEENAGER We have some pretty negative stereotypes of teenagers, and honestly, that’s too bad.  While it’s true they can be moody, think they know everything, and have little respect for authority, those qualities often belie their strengths.  As a teenager, I remember feeling like I could do anything.  I channeled all those emotions into dreaming about life after high school.  The world welcomed me into its arms.  There wasn’t a single thing I thought I couldn’t do. I’m two decades past those high school days, but I’ve been tapping back into those memories to pick up   novel writing again .  I’m revisiting my youth in order to re-evaluate what’s possible and to encourage myself to try new things without fear.  Here are ways that unlocking my inner teenager has made me stronger as an adult: TELL YOURSELF THAT AUDACIOUS GOALS ARE POSSIBLE It’s easy to limit yourself as an adult because you have so many re...
