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!
Response to the Debt Ceiling
August 5th, 2011 - No Comments
As investigators into what is enough? – the crucible of sufficiency, the obvious response to the debt ceiling legislation passed Monday night is, “Really? This is the best you can do?” According to our elected legislators, it is actually the best we can do, at this time, in this context. The thread of the soundRead the Rest…
Time Is On Our Side

“There isn’t enough time.” “If only there were 30 hours in a day, then … then, I’d get it all done.” “I wish I had more time.” Have you ever said these statements before? We hear this from our clients all the time. And I just said it yesterday to my child, which caused a major,Read the Rest…

Is there such a thing as reality dreaming? We are thinking about dreaming at Seven Stones, the dreams we create in our waking lives. Some of us call them goals, plans, intentions or resolutions. My dreams have included: qualifying to run the Boston Marathon, competing in the Olympics, coaching a track team, becoming a collegeRead the Rest…

Our bank about was about dry, a bit embarrassing to admit. What to do? Call those late on their invoices, panic, drum up business quick, complain? None of the above. We instead, 1. Held a meeting and engaged in inquiry. We asked ourselves: What is out of whack? Where are we not paying attention? Where areRead the Rest…
Create Something Big For Yourself
June 8th, 2011 - No Comments
Talking is an action that we all do. When we talk we share feelings, stories, thoughts, ideas, inside jokes, and at times, regretfully our words will be used for hurting the people we love, like in the cases of talking about the mistakes of co-workers, the bad management of our jobs, or gossiping about others.Read the Rest…
Distinguishing Scarcity, Choosing Sufficiency
May 25th, 2011 - 1 Comment
This second child business is really testing out my edges of comfort. Starting out with the context of exhaustion as the foundation to every day, add a splash of 4 year old messes everywhere, a total lack of routine and the rest of life continues to happen. For us that has meant stomach bugs (justRead the Rest…
Resolving the trap of ambivalence – Part 2
May 18th, 2011 - 1 Comment
Last week I started to talk about the phenomenon of ambivalence and how it plays out in our different roles, at work and at home. It can cause varying degrees of mess or missed opportunities or fray relationships in its unclarity. So, how do we unravel ourselves from the bind of this trap? In workingRead the Rest…
All or nothing, the curse of ambivalence – Part 1

It is Monday morning, the regular time for our Seven Stones staff meeting, and I am not on the phone. Instead I am preparing for a walk with a baby wrapped around my body. In this baby carrier, I look like I am still pregnant, and I may as well be. It’s the fourth trimester,Read the Rest…
