I was noodling around on the Google keyword tool with a business coaching client the other day, and I discovered that 2,740,000 people per month Google search “How to be spiritual,” which kinda blew my mind. It made me think of my 5 year old daughter Siena, who we’re pretty much raising as a Buddhist who loves Jesus. My very Methodist mother wanted to take her to church one day and Siena, who knows how to meditate but hasn’t spent much time in Sunday School, said, “Nana, I don’t know how to do God.”

Last Tuesday, I was sitting on my bed, working on my laptop, when I heard a helicopter just outside my window. Looking up, I saw the helicopter carrying a basket, as it flew to the rocky beach and craggy cliffs where I hike every day. Boats were zipping around the surf, and sirens were blaring, as rescue vehicles drove up a fire road onto the cliffside coastal trail.
