Happy slightly past the middle of July. It’s catch-up Book Club season, and today’s excerpt from abetterway was originally published June 26, 2021. Next summer (2025), I anticipate taking a blogging hiatus in June and July. I seem to have taken a hiatus this summer, just not intentionally. It doesn’t feel good to be ‘behind’ […]

In the fall of 2005, I began a two year graduate program in Social Work at the University of Denver. I knew from the first day it was time to learn, time to absorb new information. I have a similar feeling currently. Summer 2024. 52 years old. Time to learn. Time to absorb new information. […]

I love context. When I think of context, I think of story. Every living thing has a story. An origin story. A timeline of situations, circumstances, and events that contribute to how one shows up and expresses oneself in a particular environment or setting. Is that true or not true? When I consume information (podcast, […]

I recorded myself spontaneously read today’s excerpt. There is much to say about sensual living. Speaking of, I can hear the chirping birds outside my window. Some days, the only time I am sensual is in Quiet Time. This morning I proclaimed (to no one, and everyone) that Quiet Time was the best part of […]

In Yoga, some facilitators will put you in a pose and then say, ‘full expression’. Put simply, this means to lengthen something, soften something, expand something. In the storyitell workbook, I describe the cues (lengthen, soften, expand) as superhero pose and connect it to Amy Cuddy’s interpretation of presence. In Amy’s popular body language TED […]
