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 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 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”
#13 – Love Your Community
Being a citizen of the world can often mean that we spend as much time outside of our homes as we do inside. It can also mean that we can go through periods of our lives not having or perhaps even wanting a home. With a home, whether renting or owning, comes even more responsibility…toContinue reading “#13 – Love Your Community”
#13 – Love the Unknown
Throughout my life I’ve been gifted with the presence of at least a dozen or so cats. Never have any of them been given so many additional names…which is telling, for me, given I’ve never cherished these three beings as much as any of the previous pets that have moved in and out of myContinue reading “#13 – Love the Unknown”
On relating
*Previously published via The Sober Knights Chronicles Substack Refreshing my understanding of the how things, concepts, and/or people (including my self) are connected to me (and I to them) as of late has taken me into the past, since this is where a significant amount of inquiry and understanding of such was born. My firstContinue reading “On relating”
#11 – Love the Unknown
For the most part as of late, I awake each day and express my gratitude for another 24 hours affording me the opportunity to love big, share joy and create beauty or some variation of the three, for this triad is my purpose here and also keeps me full to overflowing every moment I breathe.Continue reading “#11 – Love the Unknown”
