The stuff on this page is a collection of snippets of ideas that guide my life but I have not yet managed to turn into a full page article. As Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates”, and these are my unsorted random chocolates.

• How you show up in one aspect of your life is almost always a good indicator of how you will show up in other aspects of your life.
• Why do “OR” when you could do “AND” – flip the narrative! Is there some way you can have your cake AND eat it too?!
• Take care of yourself first before you try to take care of others – you cannot pour tea from an empty kettle – Zen metaphor
• The antidote to overthinking is to trust yourself harder
• Try changing your environment to suit your self before changing your self to suit the environment
• The Wiccan Rede “An ye harm none, do what ye will” – a lovely balance of self-agency vs social responsibility, but it also requires the ability to see the bigger picture beyond one’s self
• Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. – Eleanor Roosevelt? Socrates?
• Moderation in all things – excess usually leads to bad things happening
• Accumulate small advantages – they will add up and snowball in the long run
