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”

There are 5 of us in this temporary community for the next several days and we’re in a forest cabin where the silence inside is a welcome change from my moreContinue reading “#7 – Love Your Community”

Every year around the time of another passing into a new age the energy of death looms large and I generally welcome it. I don’t want to hold on to anything that no longer serves me, butContinue reading “#7 Love Your Self”

I was awoken by 5 gunshots at 3:30 today and a few minutes later, after having notified the police, another single shot fired. I called 911 again to report what I’d heard and then lay in my bed marveling at the timing of everything. I had signed up to complete a half day online silentContinue reading “#7 – Love Everything”

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”
