  • is it true?

    I began this post last weekend. At this time, I cannot remember why I chose the title. A lot has happened this past week. It is difficult to conjure up context as to how I was interpreting Ellen Langer and Jeff Krasno. (actually…is it true? is a reflection of Ellen Langer’s research suggesting that all […]

  • winter doldrums.

    I began writing yesterday morning. I was hopeful to publish because I love the first day of a new month. Below is yesterday, followed by a continued reflection from today. It’s March 1. 21ish days left of the Winter season. Because of the yoga teacher training I participated in from August-November 2024, I added to […]

  • simple and complex.

    Tomorrow at 4:20 I will facilitate the content I have created over the last 12 years or so to a small group of teenagers. Because of the time of day, and perhaps the unconventiality of the content to the space (a public school setting), it will feel different than it feels right now. Right now […]

  • a better way. week seven

    Before I share this week’s excerpt from abetterway. using inner resources to create your own algorithm, I’d like to share a few inspiring podcast interviews that showed up in my algorithm this past week. Both podcasts are interviews with people I stumbled upon early on in my journey in day. Rich Roll interviews Ellen Langer, […]

  • a better way. week three

    It was depression that introduced me to the visceral experience of resistance. I did not want to go to work. I played games with myself to get out of the house. At times, it felt as if there was an energetic wall between my body and the door to leave. I’d bribe myself with Starbucks. […]

  • fire ant.

    When I open my laptop to write, I often/always begin randomly. Eventually I get into the flow of the post and delete the random. I think this first sentence is funny, so I’m going to leave it in: I love the idea of a personal assistant who is exceptional at everything I am not.  😅 […]

  • intensities.

    I slept in this morning. Out of bed at 4am. A lazy Sunday morning…. I love my neighborhood before 10am on weekends and during Bronco games. So quiet. It feels mostly still with the exception of big black crows and squirrels that always grab my attention when I venture outside to walk.   When I woke […]

  • fire.

    Bloggedy blog blog… It has been some time since I have published anything. In August, this fun little animal-card-monthly-blog-theme really wove itself into day. – my day.  Again, for context please read the January post deck. I noticed the fun messaging from the beginning. I often notice fun little messages showing up regularly in a […]

  • zebra.

    Do you have a favorite month? I love September. There’s just something about September… My love for September may be a throwback to growing up in the midwest. In Denver, September is HOT. However, the mountains in September remind me of what I experienced living in Illinois for so many years. This wasn’t what I […]

  • contradiction.

    Sometimes I feel like everything is a contradiction. As I am teaching my content again, I recognize interesting contradictions. Contradiction is a way of describing a world that exists within oppositional forces. Better said: a world existence based on oppositional force is set up to contradict itself. Self-awareness is noticing the contradicting nature of existence. […]
