...or in my case, 'BB-ing'! We all see through different lenses. I've escaped my 3 most pressing issues (and they are not small, to me) for a fortnight. Leaving town a moment with conversations and visits with a friend help to bring a momentary escape and rest to my brain. I'm thankful for that. [...]
I'm inspired by brilliance, creativity, talent, heart, openness, honesty.... which often takes uncanny courage....the kind where you REALLY take a look in the mirror, where you work to love yourself despite all the silly stuff you might have done in the past. I'm also inspired by people's willingness to shift, turn, grown and love despite [...]
When I was 11 and 12, (ugh....with absolutely NO breasts, skinny as a green bean), in preparation for school, my OH so patient mother would painstakingly help put hot curlers in my hair to make it bounce, as otherwise my very curly hair would have a plan of it's own and rebel conformity, (as if [...]
I'm thinking about how different something, an object, person, story or experience can look when you move around it to a slightly different angle. Black can become white or well, really any shade under the sun. I've been seeing a few things from a different view lately and as I do....holy cow....a new day [...]
People are so entirely fallible. I can live with that. What is harder is when they seem content or unaware within their own deep seated illusions. Or when I endeavor to tune into 'heart' and hear only static, or worse, nothing. I like talking about the elephant in the room. He's there, taking up space, [...]
Which is it. What do we do from one day to the next, moment to the next? SUPPORT...I'm all for that, giving it and receiving it. Support to me is giving someone the tools to do what they have the ability to do. We can give it and receive it...Support for efforts in growth, learning [...]
"Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin, Author and Activist Our greatest gift to ourselves and certainly to another person, is to see them spiritually....to see the person inside the humanity. This thought just lit a lightbulb in my head after sitting [...]
Today was like driving an old truck up a dry creek bed....the ups and downs of emotions like bobbing buoys at sea. A line of thought came to me today... ....steam, turns to water, turns to rivers, turns to oceans, salty oceans teaming with life. I'm only building up steam, washing away the things and [...]
I found myself today at the Duluth County Courthouse. I am guilty. I was going 60mph in a 45mph zone. I was hurrying, (typically my story), to a coaching session this past November, and honestly was NOT paying the proper attention to my driving. I still talk on my cell phone while driving, with an [...]
I'm at the airport, connected finally to the internet, waaaay early for meeting my sister-in-law in from Germany to visit during her layover, and somehow, (a first), I'm not interested in people watching....as the flood of emails has grown in being out of my office networking for two days. I'm wondering when it all becomes [...]
