The Contemporary Taoist Monthly Print Column!
How cool is that? Special thanks to LivingNow’s editing team Elizabeth, Terry and Madeleine for giving me a go.
This month's article, 'The Tao of Cats and Dogs', is actually the first in the ongoing series, but somebody forgot to stick the general Contemporary Taoist title on it. But never mind - I AM STOKED!*
Go to the website to find out where you can pick up the new May issue. If you don't live in one of the major centres of VIC, NSW, QLD, OR WA (Australian states) you can get it posted to you each month for a very cheap price. I presume this goes for overseas as well.
Needless to say I am quite happy with my lot at the moment. I have had a number of pots on the stove for some time, and despite the odd stretch where my cook-top flames have died down some, little bubbles are now starting to form. Over the next year you will see some significant output: books (I have written one and I am working on two more), new (better) music recordings and more frequent live shows, meditation and personal development classes (starting again in July for those in Melbourne), and some other wacky projects that I don't feel ready to mention yet.
Also my web presence will be getting a thorough shaking up, including the introduction of www.thecontemporarytaoist.com - a proper website companion to this blog. Amongst other exciting things this will include some of the best TCT Blog posts and hopefully the older LivingNow magazine columns (the ones that are no longer currently in print).
For those that live in Melbourne, tomorrow I am doing a radio interview at 7pm - 7:30pm on Southern FM.
In closing - something odd happened this evening, I received an email FROM MYSELF THAT I SENT ONE YEAR AGO! It was sent via a website called FutureMe.org. I had completely forgotten about it. It read:
'Dear Future Me,
One year ago you were sitting around wasting time - what are you up to now?
From Me'
I am very glad to report that I am definitely not wasting time - and neither am I stressing out. I hope you are making the most of your time my friend, but if you ever feel that it is all too much, take a deep breath and...

*In Aussie slang to be ‘stoked’ means to feel very pleased about something.

Great news - shame we won't get your column over here in the UK.

Thanks Little Dragon :)
I will at some stage look into getting the column published o/s as well as here in Australia but until then I will be setting it up so that each month's installment can be read online after it's print month is finished.
Any suggestions which UK mag my ravings might suit?

Hey, wait a minute. How about America!? Aren't you going to follow in the footprints of Russell Crowe, Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman? [Not that I'm expecting you to marry Tom Cruise, get carried around by an ape and throw a telephone at anybody.]
LivingNow has TWICE the readership of Tricycle [60K circ; 200K readers], America's biggest Buddhist magazine. I'm not sure what American magazine would suit. Syndication in newspapers, might work. In California, they have particularly hefty newspapers with a lot of great syndicated stuff.
Seriously, syndication might be your way into the US market. There are magazine's more like LivingNow, here, but I think they are very small.
Anyway. You have enough on your plate! Congratulations! Now, back to work!

Btw, "stoked" is common American slang, too, meaning 'excited,' synonomous with "pumped." An adrenaline rush.

Really, Americans say stoked? Oops. I just assumed that was an Aussie thing.
MMmmmmmm. Egg on my face....

Congrats! Wish I could be there to see it, but glad you are moving along with the philosophy.

Thanks A.V.
Moving along yes. Like water ;)
Or in tonight's case - like beer.
Hey - it's the Tao of Saturday night!
Turning computer off ... now.
