I have two cats and in my home there are four cats, the other two belong to my older daughter that’s living at home again for an undetermined time. The work of introducing mine to hers has not been easy and has ultimately resulted in the house being divided into two areas where the furryContinue reading “#8 – Love Your Work”

I start and end each day with the words “Thank you”. Sometimes I’ll spend time voicing specific thanks to whatever comes to mind, while at other times the two words are all that’s needed. This morning I’ve been giving thanks to my physical body – in 46 years and with all that its experienced IContinue reading “#8 – Love Your Self”

No matter where you live, there’s probably a park of some sort near you. Perhaps it’s even a national park, there are 63 in the U.S. alone (with legislation in the Senate creating a 64th having passed in 2022)! The picture above is from a waterfall in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, where I hadContinue reading “#8 – Love the Earth”

I was listening to this podcast recently and was reminded that while we, as a global society, are no stranger to conflict and how to resolve it, what we do seem to have less “knowledge” about is how to prevent it from continuing to occur. In some ways we really can’t know EVERYTHING that’s onContinue reading “#8 – Love the Unknown”

With 8 billion people now inhabiting the planet, communities are everywhere! I’ve been considering all the different ones that I’ve been a part of lately since the month I’m writing this in marks the 30th year I’ve lived in Pittsburgh, longer than anywhere else I’ve lived in my life. But something I’ve realized over allContinue reading “#8 – Love Your Community”

Through a series of recent developments I’ve welcomed two additional feline friends into my home and while they are both male to my male and female couple, the biggest difference is that the white boy who has come to live with me is just a wee 5 months old (and was recently neutered which isContinue reading “#8 – Love What’s Fun”

There are so many things we will never know. For some, including me, the idea of loving the unknown seems rather preposterous and I’ll admit, this “way to love” is probably the most challenging one to address; mainly because it involves hope and trust more than anything else as part of the process and theseContinue reading “#7 – Love the Unknown”

As I write this, we in the northern hemisphere are settling into the winter season – and for those of us in the northeast region of the U.S., but particularly in the westernmost part (like Western Pennsylvania), the temperatures are what seem to be the average for the beginning of winter, somewhere between the midContinue reading “#7 – Love The Earth”

I’ve been taking a stand up comedy class at this venue for the last month and it’s been interesting, enlightening, and not as much fun as I thought it might be. Ha! I’ve learned that while I’m curious about *many* things, that doesn’t necessarily translate to having fun learning about all those things. Yes, it’sContinue reading “#7 – Love What’s Fun”

In the last year I’ve considered the work that I’ve come here to do. As a teenager I had many interests, but more than anything I wanted to just live in the world and have my life and see where time would take me. As I moved through my late teens and through different statesContinue reading “#7 – Love Your Work”
