Skillful Means – Over Three Months Old

I looked at the date this morning, while drinking my cappuccino and munching on a few dried figs, and realized that this blog, Skillful Means, is now well over three months old. I figured I should be consistent and write up a small third month retrospective to go along with my blog-reviews of the first [...]

Garden Schmarden: The Last Week of Nirvana – Stepping Into Uncertainty

One of my goals was to work out in the garden and do something each week. Laughs. Well, I have kept to that much. The weekend fun schedule has kept me from doing too much work as of late. It is a little bit of a disappointment, but I can’t say it is that much [...]

Skillful Means is 30 Days Old – 30 Days in a Life – A Retrospective

The number 30 seemed like a natural number when I first hatched the idea of this blog. Somehow, it also seemed natural to write about the nature of the blog, its meaning, challenges, and its changes as it became 30 days old. – DV

There is a tradition in second life… every now and again there will be the opportunity to share a story and tell it to your friend or friends. Stories, even silly made up ones can be [...]

An Introduction – Danaeah

I am real excited. When I started this blog, I thought it would be kind of a exploration for me and just something new for me to try. I had a secret hope that it might spur the same type of motivation and vision in others. I really do feel like… if [...]

Status – Not Smoking

Done, cold turkey. I quit smoking (at least regularly) on or about April 19th 2008. I thought I would keep a record of it here, there is nothing like public humiliation to make one stick to something.
Smiles… (Yeah, if this really worked, no one would smoke. Shush, don’t tell Dharma.)
So far I [...]

Buddhism – The Personal Challenge

It feels a bit strange, an atheist, typing a description of how they want to learn more about Buddhism. Although after many years of identifying myself to my friends in real life and in cyberspace as an “Atheist/Buddhist” (slash pronounced as “slash”), I should be comfortable with this idea by now.
In actuality, my [...]
