Scott Patrick Erwin May 17, 2022 Do you have things in life you don’t want to face – fear, anxiety, emotions, pain, trauma, etc? We all experience them. Life is impossible to live without having them. Of course sometimes healing requires that you not dwell on them for a time. However, when you try and push them away for too long, they gain in power. They begin to become stronger. They begin to consume your thoughts to a point where they are impossible to not think about. And as difficult as it is at that point, thinking about them and honestly processing them is the only way to get relief from ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin May 4, 2022 Have you ever learned a life lesson from a spreadsheet? However unlikely that sounds, today I did. For those not familiar with spreadsheets, they are powerful software tools for gathering, manipulating, and computing data for needed analysis. Generally the data relates to large complex math problems where you input numbers, label the numbers, process them with complex formulas that you must write and create, and then use those formulas to get answers. For some time I’ve been struggling with a “math” problem of life in my head. To simplify, I had some data in my ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin February 18, 2022 Have you ever been stuck? Really, really, really stuck? I mean the kind of stuck, in a vehicle, where you are two feet deep in snow, sand, or dirt? The kind of stuck where you are alone, miles and miles from civilization, without tools, without the proper clothes, without food, and without cell service to call for help. It is just you, your vehicle and your situation. And you are stuck! Really, f#(%ing stuck. The only thing you can do is to face the problem and the solution to it – Diggin’ Out! This week, it happened to me. I knew better than to put myself ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin February 6, 2022 Do you have doubts? Do you doubt yourself? Do you doubt others? Do you doubt the world? Do you doubt God, the Universe, the Force, whatever you call your higher power? I have lived a life full of doubts. I have doubted myself. I’ve doubted my choices. I’ve doubted my worth. I’ve doubted others. I’ve doubted humanity. Doubt is a disease. When we doubt, we are expecting the worst. We are focusing on what can go wrong, in our life, in our relationships, and in our accomplishments. If doubt is your pattern, it can become a self fulfilling thought pattern. What ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin February 1, 2022 Today is the Tomorrow that we were not promised Yesterday. You see, someone died yesterday. Of course, many people died yesterday. It could have been me, or you, but it was not. However, someone did actually die yesterday. Not just anyone, but someone died as I was watching my own life slide down a road. It was in a place known for tragedy, near where James Dean lost his life in a fast sports car. Ironically, it’s named Cholome, meaning “Peace” in Hebrew. Now, a man no less important to the world to someone, to some family, somewhere, has died there too. I ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin January 20, 2022 Have you ever drawn a picture from a certain perspective? Perspective is looking at something from one point of view. That point is one degree on a scale of 359 other degrees surrounding the object, both horizontally and vertically. This is where the phrase, look at it from another perspective comes from. Life has many different perspectives. The challenge in life is knowing this, understanding it and living with the grace that we don’t have the full perspective of any situation. People live and react to life based upon their internal beliefs, interpretatio ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin January 18, 2022 Have you ever driven on a steep canyon road? The kind where it’s two lanes and only one way in and one way out? The kind where you have three ways to look, up at the hills on both sides, down the crevasse at the bottom of the canyon, and the narrow road ahead. Ok, maybe four, the road behind as well. I live on one end of a canyon. It’s a somewhat famous one. It has a Merle Haggard song written about the river at the bottom. It has hosted National and Olympic white water competitions. It has a sign at the entrance keeping track of all the lives lost to its t ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin   January 13, 2022 Have you ever thought about the complexity of our existence? Have you ever thought about the coordination of our existence? Life is a vast symphony of synchronicity. Life can seem so beautifully simple at moments and so infinitely orchestrated at other moments.  I am an actor and a writer. It is a second career. As an actor and writer, I have become a student of movies. Movies are layers and layers and layers of vast coordination.  In order for you, and me, to enjoy a two hour masterpiece of storytelling, there are hundreds of thousand ..read more

Scott Patrick Erwin January 13 2022 Have you heard the idea of a global Awakening? What are we awakening to? What are we Awakening from? If we are, why were we asleep? And if so, why now? Humanity is in a precarious situation. We are very near a tipping point. I’m not sure how long humans have been a species on this planet or a conscious self aware manifesting species. Science thinks we have existed generally in our current species for approximately 300,000 years. However, as self aware beings with increasingly complex intelligence , estimates put it at around 50,000 years. Yet, the planet ear ..read more

Do you fear success? Do you fear God? Do you fear death? Do you fear having fears? So many people, including and especially myself, have fears. It is a natural biological mechanism. Having fears is a normal part of life, holding on to fear is a choice. Facing your fears is a brave and necessary action to become your best self in life. Fear is an emotional response to a recognized danger in order to ..read more
