Two Minute Mindfulness Meditation on Apple Podcasts - A Two-Minute Mindfulness Break: A brief reset for your mind and body. Find a comfortable position and focus on your breath and your body. Notice the sensations of breathing and experience open-awareness without trying to change anything. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your breath. In just two minutes, you can create a moment of calm in your busy day. Check it out here.


Interview podcast with Anthony Nguyen about travel - Join me as I visit with my friend, Anthony Nguyen, a nurse at Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital in Dallas. We talk about travel, culture, nursing, and the role of chaplains (among other things). Here’s the Apple podcasts link


Book Reviews - In the next few months, I plan to host a book review with a friend and colleague, Andres. My thought is to host an online discussion with a guest while having participants join us on this website’s Discord. If you wish to get started, here’s the first book we’ll discuss: Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli. It’s available in hardback and audio versions. It may possible to borrow it from your local library using library apps like Libby or Hoopla. You may also be able to borrow it for free from the Internet Archive. Before you ask: No you don’t need to know anything about math or physics to enjoy or understand this book. I chose this based on my discussions with people who have read it and other reviews.

What makes this workshop different:

This workshop – a preview edition of a future multi-session class - is designed for regular people who want practical results - whether you’re looking to streamline work, boost creativity, or just understand how to use these powerful tools effectively. AI has been part of my daily workflow for well over a year now. I use it to plan trips, to find recipes for forgotten dishes, to help with my writing, and to explore ideas about living life better. And, AI is helping me to prepare for our time together every step of the way! I was sharing my sense of Imposter Syndrome a few minutes ago and it told me: Trust your experience and remember that your participants are there because they want the approachable, practical perspective you’re offering. You’ve got this! Maybe you need this kind of help?
