I just watched the No Impact Man trailer. I am relating to the wife: I cannot do this. I cannot carry around every dirty diaper and wipe I just used today. I get it. It’s a lot of trash. With the baby struggling in her elimination the way she is – so much crying andRead the Rest…

Completion and Creation
Use this guided process to make a powerful ending of your year to set up 2012. Each December, Seven Stones offers a process to the community to complete the year: using the principals and practices of exquisite sufficiency such as telling the truth about what happened and didn’t happen, successes and let-downs, any associations that are called to be celebrated or mourned, and distinguishing actions to be taken. In addition to annually, this process can be used monthly, weekly and even daily!
Loving-Kindness a Practice of Sufficiency? (1)
September 19th, 2011 - No Comments
Metta is a Pali (the language the Buddha spoke) word that most teachers translate to English as Loving-Kindness. In Sharon Salzberg’s book of the same name, she translates it is as “gentle friendliness.”[1] While on retreat last month I was taught metta for the first time. Do I really need a love practice? In theRead the Rest…

September 14th, 2011 - No Comments
A breeze started Right before All was still The leaves gently swayed until I heard their crescendo at the peak of rustling The moment of climax for the trees is the first moment can I feel the wind It caresses my skin A kiss from Mother Nature It holds me and then lets me goRead the Rest…
In the News: Hurricane Irene
September 9th, 2011 - 1 Comment
How would I tell the story about Hurricane Irene if I were a reporter and standing in exquisite sufficiency? In our consumer culture, news is crafted to sell and entertain as much as it is to inform. While listening to the hurricane reports I heard: Reeling Devastated Washed away Damaged “It’s not worsening but it’sRead the Rest…
How to Balance Work and Life
September 6th, 2011 - No Comments
Does balance exist? I was interviewed about being a working mother and received the infamous question about work life balance: How do you juggle it all and have some sense of balance? I so wanted to tell women what we all want to hear: That I have found a formula for having it ‘all’, andRead the Rest…
Celebrations and Limitations
August 25th, 2011 - No Comments
We are led to come face to face with our limitations in our investigation into what is enough. Today, I recognize – with the help of community – that I am doing too much, that my body is experiencing stress, and that my resisting my limitations may be effecting my ability to produce enough milkRead the Rest…
Dormancy
August 23rd, 2011 - 1 Comment
Are we as a people becoming dormant, similar to the trees in Arkansas in this season of drought? It has not rained in Arkansas in over 45 days and you can see this clearly. Everything is weeping or barren. Every plant is going into dormancy as a survival mechanism. When I hear the news andRead the Rest…
Vacation Inventory
August 23rd, 2011 - No Comments
Vacation is a word that we have said many, many times this month. Mostly because each of us at Seven Stones has taken some time off and many of our business projects and client work are “on hold” until after Labor Day. We noticed at that vacation is both a state of mind and aRead the Rest…
