I've been working with women for close to 30 years. Two things that have always stood out in my ever-deepening conversations with them: they are often shocked and terrified by the depth of their own rage; and they are pissed to discover that their well-honed and practised 'appropriate-ness' will not take them where they want to go. They are ... Continue Reading >>

Creeping Reality
“Reality!” We say that like it is an absolute and we all share it. Yet, I know ‘reality’ to be fluid…. fickle… at times even, whimsical… and unwilling to be boxed. There is the one that is visible to me through my personal sensing of it - the one for which I calibrate as I look out my window and notice the hills in the distance, the rising sun and the ...

Vegan Awareness Moment : Cultural Coma of Food
Wow... two posts in one day. That's got to be some kind of record for me.... in my retirement! I came across this short video clip (3:18) that addresses plant protein sources vs meat.

The task of tracking the inventory of the seemingly insurmountable. I recognize the need for it and I also recognize that none of these are representative of why I exist at ... Continue Reading >>
Voices Rising
I'm really getting the twists and turns of this 'retirement' thing! Have to admit: I am settling in nicely. Now a first-time Gramma (with the most adorable Little Human in the world within easy smooching distance!), I greatly appreciate the pace of my life as well as the proximity to all that is meaningful for me, within it. And right at the top of that ... Continue Reading >>
A Storied Existence
We are a species enamoured with and mesmerized by our own stories. Our myths and unwinding recollections permeate not only all that we do but all that we seem to become. And yet, ’story’ can only live in the past or the future while our body can only live in the moment of the current breath. We live in the ’now’ where there is no story - there is only the ...
