Telling the Truth Can be Difficult by BB Webb Telling the truth can be difficult, the raw edge of truth. For instance, moving past the image of ourselves we most want to project, the attractive ones we cling to, but instead, into the depths of what it is to be alive, vulnerable, feeling at times [...]
A Next Chapter by BB Webb We’re all constantly writing ‘next chapters’ to our lives, to our routines through opportunity, inspiration, boredom, or misfortune, forced by death or coaxed by our own desires, ambitions, and curiosity. My last inspired big shift was prompted after a visit to Bozeman, Montana to celebrate my brother’s birthday and [...]
It's true. I have a new chef at my venue Carl House. His food....oh Lordy....his creations are rocking my culinary world. And I soooo love to be surprised. Tonight, I popped in to see how our event, a gorgeous wedding, was going on. We've certainly served polenta cakes before....but Terrell's were something from an alternate [...]

"Your cultivation of love and great compassion should not be left in a state of mere imagination or wish alone; rather, a sense of responsibility, a genuine intention to engage in the task of relieving sentient beings of their sufferings [...]
I wrote a piece, keynote talk, performance, I don’t know….called, ‘It’s Just Weather, Embracing Possibility Thinking or How to Find Your Twirl.’ In this piece I share stories about ‘moving forward,’ moving forward despite the obstacles, the rain, the stuff that gives one ‘pause.’ I performed it, rewrote it, performed it again, then put it [...]
