Pass or Fail? Before the week of the No Impact Experiment, I stopped focusing on the game. Basically: I got sucked into the vortex for attending to my sick children, who ended up with ear infections over the weekend. Upon reflection of the week, I am left with several inquiries and insights. It’s difficult –Read 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 (2)
September 26th, 2011 - No Comments
Last week I wrote of my introduction to metta, and I asked, “Do I really need a love practice?” I have found that the answer is a resounding yes. Within Loving-Kindness I have found a stance for social justice, creating a sustainable life and an overall experience of living a peaceful life. Over the lastRead the Rest…
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…
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…
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…
How Sufficiency Looks, Christmas Time
December 21st, 2010 - 1 Comment
Here’s a look at how standing inside of sufficiency can look: I like to call it our deconstructionist decorated Christmas tree. We are an interreligious family – we light Hanukah candles and spend Christmas with family. Having a Christmas tree doesn’t really flow with our small home and active child. However, we love the feeling of Christmas,Read the Rest…
Love & Time

“The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.” ~Barry Long What is the relationship between time and love? I began to wonder about this when it dawned on me that I was trying to escape my child who was having a series of breakdowns that were explosive andRead the Rest…
