I recently spent some time with a new friend who was celebrating her birthday by having folks over for a bit of creative painting and taco consumption. There wasn’t any theme or instruction for the painting, just follow your vision and have fun…which is JUST the kind of launch point I like! Loving the EarthContinue reading “#6 – Love the Earth”

We will do all kinds of work in our life, whether for money, advancement, or self discovery – all because we are unable not to produce something for even our smallest efforts, such is the wonder of our ability. What love has to do with this is about the pleasure we experience from working –Continue reading “#6 – Love Your Work”

There is a LOT of advice floating around on how to foster a sense of community wherever you are and that’s great if you’re somewhere where you feel there are others that have similar views about life as you, but what do you do when you are the odd one out? Do you just keepContinue reading “#6 – Love Your Community”

Ok, maybe bowling isn’t your jam, after a couple games and even alternating between using both hands it’s not particularly fun for me either (and I like bowling!), but for today, the idea around fun that I’m inviting you to explore is one of reconsidering that which you may not think could be fun.

Today is another opportunity to view your self from a different angle. This is another way to love your self, though some may say it’s just another way of looking at your self – either way, sometimes we have to look at our selves differently in order to love our entire self.

We all experience perceptions of what others think about us in our lives and have reciprocatedContinue reading “#6 – Love the Unknown”

I spotted these words painted on a house in Philadelphia when I was visiting there recently and have shared them with many friends, family and clients since. Today I’m sharing them with you for a few reasons. Certainly, the message couldn’t be truer for many, this much is clear and in some future entries I’llContinue reading “#5 – Love What’s Fun”

I received news the other day that a friend from high school had passed away, by his own hand, though there was nothing directly pointing to that being the cause – perhaps some of my former classmates and group of friends were in on the conversation offline or elsewhere, but it seemed clear enough thatContinue reading “#5 – Love the Unknown”

For the last few weeks I’ve been participating in a training that was born from the book Active Hope by Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone and one of the most recent processes that I engaged in inspired today’s entry. While it wasn’t about sleep, I was directed to sleep as a result of the processContinue reading “#5 – Love Your Self”

I took a trip to the other side of the state this past weekend to enjoy my younger kid’s first concert featuring some pretty lovely up and coming youths. While I’ve always enjoyed visiting Philadelphia and all it has to offer, once I returned to Pittsburgh I felt the strangeness of being here speak toContinue reading “#5 – Love Your Community”
