Travel Tuesday

March 21, 2017 by John Falloon Leave a Comment
BSA Tuesday Cannon Beach

Rock formations like this one at Rockaway Beach, Oregon, are fascinating to me. How do those base rocks support that huge weight of rocks above? And if we could look underwater at all of the little islands and rocks in the oceans around the world, how many of those islands have a solid base, and … [Read more…]

Just Be.

January 10, 2017 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

We rush from work to home to appointments and rarely take time to stop and breathe. It is so important that you have time to just “be”, and to reconnect with your Self and center your thoughts. Somewhere today, pause in the busy and take a moment to stop and just be, before continuing on … [Read more…]

#tbt – My little daughter

December 15, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

#ThrowbackThursday to when my oldest daughter was just a little girl. It feels like only yesterday, and yet also like a lifetime ago. She has grown into an exceptional woman, but I can’t help but wonder how I would have parented differently if I had learned about being Self Aware back then…

#tbt – My biker days

December 8, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

#ThrowbackThursday to my short-lived “biker” days- in fact, for a while, I sold bikes! Trail bikes like these ones gave me a way to spend time with my brother. My whole life I have been determined not to let the fact that I have two prosthetic legs slow me down. As a child, I was … [Read more…]

If a dog was your teacher

bentley on rock

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we … [Read more…]

How do you make decisions?

October 25, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment
thinking

Why don’t I know what I want to do with my life? Why can’t I figure out what I want to take in school? Why can’t I commit to a job or a career path? Why is it difficult for me to commit to life decisions? Why am I not brave enough to do what … [Read more…]

What an apology from SELF might look like…

October 2, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

We say we are sorry for so many things every day and most, if not all, of these come from PARTS of us. Along with the part that is saying sorry, there are other parts that are saying BUT. What parts are trying to do is shift part of the blame for the situation or … [Read more…]

Learning to juggle

September 22, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

Here’s an amazing video of a talented baseball player. There’s no doubt that learning to juggle baseballs took practice and required constant adjustments so he could get the result that he wanted. In a way, I think this is like life and our relationships with others. If the action of hitting a baseball is the … [Read more…]

Changing your perceptions

September 10, 2016 by John Falloon Leave a Comment

I believe that who we are is directly related to how intense our parts become, and how we are nurtured in our first few years of life and in our subsequent relationships; with others and ourselves. Unfortunately a lot of what I heard growing up was “you can’t do that because you have artificial legs”. … [Read more…]
