Celebrating the Single Life
So last night I watched "The Way I See It”. That's the title of Pete Souza’s - Official Photojournalist for the Barack Obama presidency - documentary. Amazing images & heart-aching memories for a lot of us here in the States. Pete shared a random detail about the...
Thoughts on Becoming “Meta-Human”
My emotions felt pretty jumbled as I navigated through last week. I reflect now ( 5 October) on the moments that felt significant for me. What I recall is a strange collage of events that sparked uncertainty. Lately, the obvious randomness and chaos in the world is...
Looking for Joy
It’s all well and good for Wise Ones (my go-to writers, philosophers, light-workers and mindfulness experts) to tell me that Joy is the highest and most powerful energetic vibration there is. And that Joy should be my goal. For today. Or at least for the minute that I...
Choosing to Age Beautifully
I’m always checking-out “Trending Streams” on various platforms. Not just because I want to sift faster for my own viewing, but out of curiosity about what other people are turning to for diversion. Even before I read about its popular appeal, I took a dive into...
“When Can I Have My Life Back?”
It wasn’t very long ago that I scoffed at the adage, “Everything happens for a reason”. How absurd. I mean, how do you find meaning (for example) in the random death of someone you love? The meaning, wise ones say, can be understood through the loss and suffering. But...
Coping With Mean People & Primal Fears
This week I’ve had a few potent opportunities to face up to some truly mean people in my life. Which has meant coping with a lot of negativity. Verbal abuse. Intimidation. Tactics designed to zap my personal power and make me question myself. It’s also meant a new...
Seeking ‘better’, not a return to ‘what was’
Like a lot of other people, before the pandemic I had all kinds of creative plans for myself going forward. Now, of course, everything outside of my own small home - radius has to be pre-planned and executed strategically. “Essential activities” only. I haven’t hit...
“Relationship” in a Time of Social Distance
Yesterday I went to my favorite craft store for poster-making supplies. After suiting up (mask and gloves) I entered the large, cool cave of a place. Almost empty. The muzak was light and airy, for a vibe that was totally “Walking Dead”. Only a handful of people...
A Fine Line: Helping, vs. Enabling Others
I’m not going to make this Post about politics. The people here in the U.S. have some soul-searching and reality-checking to do. Choices, and decisions to make. It’s clear to a lot of us that it’s time to address our “issues” as a nation. Still, as I was thinking...
Why I Crave Travel
I’ve read about those who go to airports – not to travel, but to just hang-out: people-watch; eat; sit and watch the incoming and outbound flights. Soak up the hum and thrum of people going other places. If they don’t actually want to go inside, some people – so...
