My conversations with Dean Walker of The Poetry of Predicament podcast always open doors to my own as-yet unexpressed thinking. This one proved particularly potent for me. For some time, I have had no interest in speaking, blogging or even journaling. Every thought I have seems to be one that I've had so many times before. As I listened to the podcast ...

Mindful Choice vs Habituation
Far more important than any single, particular choice is the underlying - and far too often, invisible - process for choosing that determines the way we move through the world.

Deb Gleason: A Journey of Self-Reclamation
"I’ve come to discover that when it came to reclaiming my life, there was something much more powerful than willpower available to me. What I’ve discovered is the power of willingness. The willingness to find instead of eternally seek. The willingness to speak my truth, at the moment that it presents. The willingness to stand alone, and to sit in my ... Continue Reading >>
