  • 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 […]

  • same but different?

    Have you ever been in a situation where someone is helping you, or vice versa, on a digital device and you find yourself in a state of wonderment because of how the other navigates their device? In my initial experience of the above years ago, I assumed it was just a one-off, an interesting observation. […]

  • to know thyself

    In this blog post I share Andre Duqum’s year end podcast with journal prompts. It’s exceptional as is Andre. “As for me, in 2025 I’d like to allow what has sprouted over the course of this past year to continue its growth. I desire to be a patient daughter of the sacred soil of my own precious life experience.”

  • 2025 blog year

    The person was special. The person knew suffering and made space for other people’s suffering. The person was inclusive and made decisions that they felt were equitable and humanizing. In my experience, people mattered to this person and this person mattered to people.

  • something more. week twenty six

    I am a bit behind on my Book Club posts. As I attempt to get back in sync with Sunday (abetterway) and Thursday (something more) excerpt shares, I need to play some catch-up. Today is a excerpt from Something More. Connecting to the pulse of a Shared Humanity – power. June 27, 2020. First, a […]

    Something more. This morning marks the 16th week of the 2024 blog year. This means that for 16 weeks I have been posting on Thursday morning from the book: something more. Connecting to the pulse of a Shared Humanity. Each post includes the excerpt/weekly blog post that was posted four years earlier. I did the […]

  • a better way. week fourteen

    Life is a series of situations, circumstances, and events that are often unexpected.  Are you ‘onboard’? Do you agree? Using the strategies taken from part III of storyitell: tips, if I am resistant to an idea and block it without awareness (mindless), I’ve missed an opportunity to be curious. When I’m curious is when I […]

  • a better way. week twelve

    “Today is the sixth day of spring,” she says to herself with a big smile to confirm that she is in on her own game. Growth. I notice growth in my thinking when I can recognize an unhelpful thought and know it’s not necessary to hold onto at the moment, knowing it’s not going to […]

  • a better way. week eleven

    In the event that you (reader) pay attention to particulars, I titled last Sunday’s book club post week eleven, then changed it to week ten. Today’s post is the official week eleven (wink). I’m certain I have mentioned it, but I suppose I find it fulfilling to mention it once again: each excerpt from abetterway […]

  • something more. week ten

    Patterns, patterns, patterns everywhere. Today’s excerpt from something more. connecting to the pulse of a shared humanity, was posted four years ago on March 7, 2020. My beloved Kindness Yoga was a few weeks away from shutting down its physical spaces and go online. It was a few months away from being shut down completely. […]
