The State of Fear

August 26, 2010

“Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open.  You’re able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment.” Ralph Marston I had a conversation with a friend today that disturbed me.  I found myself tensing up as we talked.  I felt [...]

Strengthen the Life Around You

July 1, 2010

July already.  We’ve been in Georgia for only two months, but it seems like a lifetime ago that we left the northeast.  Odd how time flows.  Interesting that I have relaxed so easily into the comfortable lap of Georgia after 25 years away.  How good and right it feels to be here.  Life strengthens me.

May 13, 2010

There are many bluebirds where we live.  Seeing them reminds me of this fellow.  I had the wonderful opportunity to connect with him up close for about a week.  What a joy to see him everyday and have this kind of intimate encounter with him.  I felt truly honored. True connection is an honor and, [...]

Reflections on Regret

February 17, 2010

“Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. The third is to be kind.” Henry James I don’t have many regrets in my life, although if you were to look closely you might think I have reason to feel regret.  My life has tumbled, [...]
