Thanks For the Gift of the Challenge, Bradley Will!
It was a bit like having thirty little mystery packages to open one at a time during this thirty-day blogging challenge with you, Bradley. Each day was the unwrapping of a little box in my mind to see what was in there and what wanted to come out and show up through words. There are…
Read MoreThe Powerful Combination of Commitment and Accountability
It is and I am nearing the end of this blogging challenge. The powerful combination of commitment and accountability to the group for a specific amount of time and blogs created the fuel that kept me in the game and resolved not to miss one day. For me, that kind of challenge gets my staying…
Read MoreBe the Light
I love Yogi tea. The tea itself is one of my favorites. The additional bonus is finding the message on the tag. I was mulling my blog for today and was settling in on how we have the opportunity over and over again to see people’s faces light up through special or unexpected connection. That…
Read MoreNew Year’s Evolution
This blog came to me as I thought about the inspiring, light up the world woman who asked me how I choose what I write for my blog. I have been following her life and evolution this year since leading a workshop she attended last year that was titled exactly this: A New Year’s Evolution…

Read MoreHills One Step At A Time
Hills… one step at a time… going up. A walker, not a runner, I have been challenging myself the last couple of months to complete the 2.7-mile path I love by completely jogging it…no stopping…my goal: by January 1, 2016. I have either been jogging the flat parts and stopping when I get to hills…
Read MoreHow We Serve Clients: An Aspect of Caregiving
(For those who never experienced this…a phone switchboard) We are caregivers of our clients, whatever our business. More examples come to me all the time, tiny or big, of how we are caregivers or care receivers all along life’s continuum. The first couple of years of my college summers I sat up high in my…
Read MoreInvitation to You to Share Wishes
This happy Wishes tree is on the lawn of a home of across the street from my walking path. Some who are local Facebook friends pass it each day and have perhaps contributed wishes to the branches. I finally stopped today to read and participate. So many of the sentiments moved me as well as…
