In the beginning, there were tears and fears. There were valleys and mountains, difficulties and mistakes, and a lot of worry. Not to mention, it was hard to meditate because I couldn't keep my eyes shut. Thank God, that part's over. I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle now, past the valley but not quite up the mountain. And sometimes I fall asleep while I'm supposed to be meditating. Cie la vie.

I used to worry that being an adult would be hard. I thought it might be worse for me than for other people, and that awful things would probably happen to me.

It turns out that adulthood is every bit as hard as I'd worried it would be, and that awful things have indeed happened to me along the way. But it also turns out that there are some unspeakable joys, some indescribable emotions that fill you with awe and make you feel that you've finally become wise. There are children laughing, and some of them may belong to you and think you're the best parent in the world. There are sun rays beaming down, and sometimes they touch your skin and make you sigh and smile lazily. There are tiny miracles.

My blogs will be about a lot of things, because I am interested in subjects near and far, normal and bizarre. I will talk about meditation, the study of mindfulness, therapy, family, my work as an entrepreneur, and the universe. I will share recommendations and inspiring stories, and I want to start discussions.
