This blog has been down (in more ways than one). Last week, Life Coaches Blog’s server on Site5 broke down and we became inaccessible for a few days. To their credit, Site5 has apologized and given half a year’s worth of free hosting for all sites that were affected. While that was going on, I was in [...]

On the morning of the 4th day, I awoke as usual around 5:30AM, but instead of the quiet, dark courtyard I was used to, I found a crowd of villagers happily preparing for Archan Sa-ad’s 60th birthday celebrations. Before I came, I had no idea that I was arriving just in time for this little festival [...]

Earlier this year, my friend Paiboon the monk asked me to visit him in Thailand and enroll in a 10 day meditation retreat. The retreat seemed like a real challenge, but what really enticed me was the chance to stay in a Buddhist monastery – how many people get a chance like that? So I [...]

Hi everyone! I’m back from my 18-day stay in Thailand – it’s been a heady mix of staying with monks, simple living, 10 days of silence, lots of meditation and the blaring sights and sounds of Bangkok. I’ve just had my first long hot shower in 18 days, and I’m going to take a short nap [...]
