The Lovely Changes of the Day

February 15, 2024 ~ James ~ 2 Comments

Just two days ago, I found myself marveling at the beautiful snowflakes outside my window. In a matter of hours, they vanished, leaving no trace behind, replaced by the bright sunshine. This fleeting change serves as a poignant reminder of life’s constant flux. No two moments are precisely the same; everything is in perpetual motion. … Continue reading The Lovely Changes of the Day

The Beautiful Challenge of Living Successfully

February 3, 2024 ~ James ~ 2 Comments

I often ponder the true meaning of success. What do people really mean when they talk about it? Whose interpretation of success are they adopting?

This observation isn't to suggest that these are the only metrics of success, but … Continue reading The Beautiful Challenge of Living Successfully

January 27, 2024 ~ James ~ 1 Comment

Occasionally, I find myself believing that my life is flowing effortlessly, as if I have everything “under control.” In these moments, the Universe often sends me a subtle or not-so-subtle reminder: the only thing I truly control is how I respond to each moment as it arises. Believing I can control anything beyond that is … Continue reading Calendaring Mistakes and Learning (again)

When Life Feels Out of Control - Infinitely Precious

In this episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, James reflects on what it feels like when life seems overwhelming and out of control, gently naming the hard truth that control itself is largely an illusion. Rather than offering techniques to manage chaos or fix outcomes, he invites listeners into a slower, more compassionate way of living: attending to the present moment and choosing how we respond within it. Through the simple metaphor of being stuck in traffic as a personal “hermitage,” James explores how presence, breath, prayer, and mindful response can transform moments of frustration into spaces of grace. By learning to respond rather than react, we cultivate a habit of grounded presence that softens overwhelm—for ourselves and those around us. The episode closes with a reminder that this practice is not about perfection, but about recognizing what truly matters and remembering that, even in uncertainty, we are infinitely precious and unconditionally loved.
