I’ll be fifty next month and throughout this year my word/work of the year has been “Distill” (last years was “Release”) because my life has been quite full, especially in the last 25 years and not always in ways that have felt helpful to the overall work I’ve determined to be mine to do whileContinue reading “#15 – Love Your Work”

#15 – Love Your Self
As a business owner for close to 30 years, early on I implemented a mailing list and adding folks to it as their contact info came my way – some were clients, some were not, so they obviously didn’t ask to be added, but…I wanted them as clients and figured if they didn’t want myContinue reading “#15 – Love Your Self”
#15 – Love Everything
I recently started an EMT training program through a local initiative called Freedom House 2.0 and sometime in the first few sessions of class we were working on developing motivational interviewing skills by taking turns thinking of our favorite something while the rest of the class asked open ended questions to ascertain the answer. ThankfullyContinue reading “#15 – Love Everything”
#15 – Love the Earth
I was driving home from a class this evening and as I came around the bend in the road near my home I slowed when I saw this bird off to the side and all the thoughts starting coming into my head; is it injured, can I get it to my favorite local emergency wildlifeContinue reading “#15 – Love the Earth”
#15 – Love The Unknown
Sometime in the last year or two I started getting what felt like pretty comfortable with the unknown. Most of us have considered the question that if we could know our future would we want to and I’ve vacillated between yes and no until more recently. While I can’t really know what’s ahead, I haveContinue reading “#15 – Love The Unknown”
#15 – Love Your Community
The other night I was out with a dear friend for the 100th anniversary of the Martha Graham Dance Company performance, where I crossed paths with a few other folks I’ve known, as one does after living in the same city for over thirty years, including my old friend Richard Parsakian, proprietor of the infamousContinue reading “#15 – Love Your Community”
#14 – Love Everything
I celebrate three new years: the Gregorian, the lunar, and my birth one. This book started being written years ago (on this platform) so it spans some time, and of course, many new years. With all these new years to observe I can sometimes get turned around with where I am in the course ofContinue reading “#14 – Love Everything”
#14 – Love Your Community
A friend recently shared with a group that I’m a part of that today is “Blue Monday”, something I’d never heard of (and rightfully so, as it got its start in the UK, where my friend is from and I am not!) but have been thinking about since yesterday when I learned of it. WhenContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Community”
#14 – Love the Unknown
This morning I was reviewing my photo library and came across an image for the rules for being human (according to some ancient Sanskrit and that also seem to vary from nine to twelve rules, not surprised there’s a variation on this🥴) and I’m sharing them here, all twelve rather than nine because who doesn’tContinue reading “#14 – Love the Unknown”
#14 – Love Your Self
If only we could do everything…where would we be? What would we be? I look around most days and wonder if where we are as a result of everything we’ve done is merely a result of everything we have become. I think you can appreciate the sentiment behind this statement AND the sheer frustrating realityContinue reading “#14 – Love Your Self”
