Inclusivity: Back to Basics

May 26th, 2010    -    No Comments

I am ashamed of myself. I feel as if I am five years old. I have let scarcity rule. I am part of a pack of moms that leave music class and head to a local coffee-muffin joint with the kids. Many of us have known each other for years, some less, but there isRead the Rest…


Birthday Reflections: Intervening in the Scarcity Spiral

May 19th, 2010    -    No Comments

Last week it was my birthday. I had no special plans. I thought I was beyond needing to have a special birthday. After all, I thought, “I’m too old to care.” I’m not three, like my daughter, who co-opts any birthday she can within arms’ reach of a set of candles to blow out. WhenRead the Rest…

We are coming off of the third Global Sufficiency Summit. In truth I have had this sadness lodged in my belly all week, felt tired, and kind of hung over.

I’ve noticed several more fascinating things about entitlement I want to share. 1. It keeps me focused on and addicted to what I don’t have.  2.  I observe that I am not so hot at receiving, taking in, drinking up, resting in what I do create for myself. 3.  My entitlement is righteous and hungryRead the Rest…


Cancer journals #2: bargaining for false safety

November 14th, 2009    -    1 Comment

I made a deal with the devil and I did not even know it, not until my husband got cancer. (I know I told you all Id write about currency.  That is coming but now I’ve been thrown a curve ball by life and want to share the insights from it.) So here is theRead the Rest…
