A Story of Sufficiency Here was a moment in time when it really did look like there was not enough money. In fact, if we did not do something fast, there really and truly would not have been enough to cover our expenses due. This is what we call structural scarcity. The scarcity – theRead 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!

To Be or Not To Be Satisfied
November 1st, 2011 - No Comments
Being satisfied at work is a no-no. Really? In the past week I have spoken to three senior executive women who are actually satisfied with where they are in their careers. Refreshing, right? Here comes the twist: each of them feels that they have to hide their satisfaction, that it would give the wrong impressionRead the Rest…
No Impact Journal: Final Reflection
September 28th, 2011 - No Comments
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…
In the News: Hurricane Irene
September 9th, 2011 - 1 Comment
How would I tell the story about Hurricane Irene if I were a reporter and standing in exquisite sufficiency? In our consumer culture, news is crafted to sell and entertain as much as it is to inform. While listening to the hurricane reports I heard: Reeling Devastated Washed away Damaged “It’s not worsening but it’sRead the Rest…
Vacation Inventory
August 23rd, 2011 - No Comments
Vacation is a word that we have said many, many times this month. Mostly because each of us at Seven Stones has taken some time off and many of our business projects and client work are “on hold” until after Labor Day. We noticed at that vacation is both a state of mind and aRead the Rest…
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
July 27th, 2011 - No Comments
“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 thing as reality dreaming?
June 28th, 2011 - No Comments
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…
Walk the Talk
June 23rd, 2011 - No Comments
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…
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…
