Last year I set forth on a quest, a journey, a mission: that for which I am destined. I conquered a few things last year, like the back yard. In 2023, I’m on a different quest. It’s been tricky to narrow down what missions I want to make public. So in 2023 there are a…
Becoming
Inner life. Who I am becoming.
Transitions
The last four weeks or so have been about transitions. Deep winter is gone, and now we’re in almost-but-not-quite-spring. Even though the calendar says today is the spring equinox, living in central Michigan I know darned well there could be more snow. I hope not. I am so ready for daffodils and tulips. Bye Bye…
The Rona Visit
This is an odd bit of writing. In it, I am being as clear as I can and also deliberately obtuse; censorship is alive and real both in the USA and around the globe. And while this is my website, it is hosted; I’ve heard of sites being pulled down. Therefore, I’m being extra, extra…
On Calm in the Face of Fear
So if you didn’t know, I’m a big Star Trek fan. And my favorite flavor is The Next Generation with Patrick Stewart in the role of Captain John Luc Picard which is why, of course, I’m loving the new Star Trek: Picard. It’s a great story, both broadening the known Star Trek universe and endearing…
Up The Mountain
There’s an old Chinese proverb that goes “There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view is always the same.” Of course there are multiple interpretations of that, and this one from Hinduism is on my mind today: There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading in the same…
Ice Cream Is Evil
We love the idea that learning a new mantra, meditation, or yoga pose will cause great change in our lives. For me, I thought that if I just put up a pretty website and got busy with business-like things, my life would change. It didn’t happen. The mantra, meditation, yoga pose, and ‘business-like’ things are…
Menopause and Loss
Some time ago, I likened the transition from having a period every month to not having a period as a process of moving an ocean from here to there via teaspoon. Inevidably, you lose some water. I haven’t actually hit the officialy menopause mark, but I’ve been working my way there for fifteen years. Yes,…
More Money Than Sense
I’ve hit a point in my income earning where, every so often, I’m pretty sure I’ve got more money than sense. I buy what I want, when I want, with one click. It’s delivered quickly – no waiting 7-14 days. I use it, read it, try it, and move on to the next thing. Practical…
