Service

Service is something that some people run to and some run away from. It's an interesting paradox, because it takes effort, it takes initiative and often goes unnoticed.

I remember joining "the service" aka "the army" and it was a brutal experience. Fortunately for me, we were at peace and all I had to do was put up with drill sargents screaming, enormous physical pressure and an aggressive bunch of peers.

Service was redefined for me when I did my first vippassana meditation. There were dozens of "old students" volunteering their time in order to support the efforts of the present meditators.

This video was a gentle reminder of how much more service we can all do...

Raw Mike introduces Wheatgrass to the Masses

Mike Guzman is a real leader. I have known him for almost two decades and he is constantly creating positive change in the world.

Instead of the normal coffee and buns in office meetings, Mike introduced the group to wheatgrass. As you would expect, there were mixed opinions. What I love is that he did it and that at least one person got it!
