I have a dear friend who lives in Maine; I've spoken of her before, the lovely and talented Karen Montanaro, wife of my beloved late teacher Tony Montanaro. She is a seeker like myself. Our conversations would drive most anyone mad as we stay up late into the night bug-eyed considering thoughts in the realms [...]
Well, I am the person who just wrote about the challenge of my constant distractions. Yes, I am, (a dreamer....), I love to create cool stuff, can spend hours and hours in contemplation or writing about all manner of things, (useful or not), concocting adventures for sure, and entertainments, certainly dinner soirees with [...]
I'm amused, distracted really by my own distractions.. Distraction: Origin: 1425–75; late ME (< AF) < L distractiōn- (s. of distractiō) separation. See distract, -ion 1. the act of distracting. 2. the state of being distracted. 3. mental distress or derangement: That child will drive me to distraction. 4. that which distracts, divides the attention, [...]
I have something I'm wrangling with today...the notion of how to really love well. I was thinking today about how mothers or fathers, husbands, wives, in an effort to 'take care of' each other, children, often love 'too well' or really not well at all when they steal the opportunity for another to find their [...]

Much as pets and children can 'steal the show', heated debates around the aforementioned topics can reek havoc on relationships as to me, what I hear most is a fervent need to 'be right'. I am intrigued after reading my business coach's blog, The [...]
I’m learning the profound difference between listening and hearing. I listen well, just don’t hear some things. I'm noticing when my defenses kick in and try as quickly as possible to become curious about it all....as the defensiveness is NEVER about the other person, just li'l ole me. Quite freeing to realize this actually. I [...]
To me, we're brought onto the planet to create, to fulfill our individual soul's purpose....AND we ALL have the inherent ability to create on some level. Just my theory. It might be by being the best cupcake maker in your neighborhood, or that you build sky scrapers like Howard Roarke or to manifest epic films [...]
While in high school I took a part time job at a near by nursing home, (what is the politically correct term now, something or other care facility)?? WhatEVER they're now called, this placed was filled with really old people. I worked with a group of rather merciless seasoned nursing care folks who would test [...]
