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”

I’m at a retreat as I write this, it’s centered around releasing the past and it involves a number of journey and regression sessions. 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”

I was looking through some old pictures recently, as my daughter and I both had birthdays in October.

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.
