I had a full week that included much client work, phone calling and meetings. I also took a trip to Arkansas for a weekend retreat. As I am sitting on my return flight wondering what to write for this week’s blog I witness a wonderful exchange. Two men in first class give up their seatsRead the Rest…

Why Have Kids?
December 8th, 2010 - No Comments
The current discourse on parenting seems to follow some particular trends including parenting is hard, parents these days overparent (i.e. helicopter parent), and being a bad mom is ok (whatever bad means). Parents from other generations like to criticize those of us doing the raising these days, and we in turn like to criticize howRead the Rest…

November 29th, 2010 - No Comments
I just finished the first round of edits of our latest forthcoming publication. It is our next booklet tentatively titled A Journey Continued.

Scarcity has dominated my mood. No one is good enough. Things not are said right enough. Expectations are not being met. All I see is what I don’t like, what is not working, what I wish were different. I am hitting the most common, my most utilized weapons of scarcity – resistance, complaining, frustration, whatRead the Rest…
anatomy of a breakdown
November 3rd, 2010 - No Comments
I still regret my mistake. I don’t prescribe to “everything happens for a reason.” Though I didn’t accidentally end a life, what I did stinks and was wrong. Sometimes that happens. And, we were able to acknowledge, adapt and learn. These actions are the foundations for coping with uncertainty, for an ever fast changing economic (and political and social and climate) landscape, and for shifting into a new paradigm.
cleaning house: why wait? (part 2)
October 27th, 2010 - No Comments
Why did I wait? I waited out of fear and avoidance, distraction and disillusion. I was scared. I was in scarcity-thinking. These are some of the powerhouse weapons of scarcity I use most. I think now I can claim that when something piles up and hangs around in my space, that it’s an indication I am relating to it in scarcity, not like it’s wrong or bad, but that it might be starting to suck my energy and drain some attention from what I care about.
cleaning house: why wait? (part 1)
October 20th, 2010 - No Comments
My family is preparing to move out of our house and into a new space. This requires, as you are most likely familiar, a sifting through some many number of years of purchases, piles and files, corners and drawers, bins and boxes. It’s an odd exercise, I am finding, but has its satisfying moments. BagsRead the Rest…
learning from a louse
September 8th, 2010 - No Comments
I am a louse. Not the Elizabethan insult Shakespeare invented. But the bug. That is what I am thinking as I comb through my daughter’s hair looking for eggs. That’s what I have been thinking about a lot lately. Myself and Maxine and three other families from our school have head lice. I would notRead the Rest…
