Parenting with the principals and practices of sufficiency have long been an interest of mine, though it all started with my head in the sand. Application was all academic to me, a good idea in theory. Most of the wisdom, I’ve come to discern, comes through a tough moment or day, in which I seeRead 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!

May 4th, 2011 - 1 Comment
It has recently been revealed to me that the more I let go and allow for others to participate in my life, the less control I have, but the more connection. I have always known I was a control freak, the typical kind, trying to manage exactly how things are done around me, with myRead the Rest…
Pushing the Edge – deepening the experience of Exquisite Sufficiency
May 2nd, 2011 - No Comments
As usual I am pushing, pushing myself and pushing the edge of this conversation I was introduced to ten years ago – what is sufficiency? Where am I inside the context?

We also budget our time. We often do this less explicitly, unless we take Rosemary Tator’s courses within her More Time for YouRead the Rest…
How Sufficiency Changed My Life
April 27th, 2011 - No Comments
For twenty-three years now I have lived a life devoted to trying to do enough. Examples are helping out friends, avoiding excess consumerism, intensive composting, supporting local businesses, buying second hand clothing, recycling, biking…the list could go on and on. Or does it? Is this even what it means to “do enough”? My view ofRead the Rest…
Sufficiency, how it changes
March 9th, 2011 - No Comments
Sufficiency is so not a right or wrong thing. It is a declaration and a practice. It is elusive and concrete. It is a paradox, a box for Pandora to laugh into, hollow and full, all at the same time. It is a mindset, a set of actions, a moment, a set of moments, aRead the Rest…
Corporate Tithing: Step 1, Inquiry and Calculating the Truth
March 7th, 2011 - 1 Comment
At church last week, our guest minister preached about generosity. He spoke of his practice of tithing (to offer one tenth part as an offering). He and his wife give 10% of their gross earnings as gifts each year. 5% to their church and %5 to organizations that do work in the world that speakRead the Rest…
