Dominique,

First, congratulations.  If you’re reading this, you figured out the riddle, “Not 2.”  Well done!

So, what’s this all about?

This is all about my frustration as a father that I’ve learned some things in recent years that I wish I had learned decades ago when I could have passed them on to you.  Nothing woo-woo or anything like that, but mental tricks or just ways of looking at things that have helped me worry less and stress less.  It’s more like the hypnosis thing you did.  So, a few of my posts might be helpful to you.  Or not.  Either way, I thought I’d share them with you.  Oh, and there’s some stuff for if you’re ever in a crisis and you’re not able to contact me.  And some stuff if you ever find yourself in a dark place.  And some stuff to help you deal with Meggie.  You get the idea.

What is this not about?

I’ll tell you what this is not all about.  I’m not trying to convert you.  I’m not trying to lure you into some cult.  Nothing like that.  I started this blog, “Nothing to Attain,” as part of my studying Buddhism.  I’m supposed to keep a journal for this certification thing I’m doing, so this blog is part of that.  The journal is buried deep in this blog and sometimes overlaps.  I do like to put down ideas on paper since I’m apt to forget them if I don’t.  Haha… no surprise there.

Love,

Dad
