Whatever we face, there is always a version of it and then a lighter version. The degree to which we are both willing and able to tolerate an assault on our existing structures of beliefs/values/attitudes (i.e. reality) will dictate which version we choose for ourselves. Personally? I have always preferred the deep end of the pool. Given this particular ... Continue Reading >>

Wise Women ~ Wise Words
It helps to have something to think about that expands potential rather than compressing it. It's a choice, really, and that choice shapes your world. It has long been understood by many: we become what we think about. Here are some things for you to consider thinking about. And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>
Simple Choices – Complex Results
In my retirement, my attention has turned to recognizing, acknowledging and deeply appreciating how immensely fortunate I am to have family and friends that I cherish. For decades, I was drawn to engage in what was, for me, the only way I knew how: caring about and focused on how we, as human beings, were expressing so far below what was possible for us; and ...

Deep Dive: Day 2 – Perception, Judgement, Creation
Thank you all, for being here. It is evident to me that the collective mind that we are, knows something. It is evident to me that we are willing to know what we know, in the face of the absence of any evidence for ‘it’ to be known or ‘real’. I am reminded of a summer storm. The sun is still out… but the wind changes. It ‘feels’ different; blows differently; ... Continue Reading >>
Finding my tribe…
Perhaps, if we can find grace in our own mortality, we can find courage in our day-to-day expression of Life. One of the great benefits of ‘retirement’ is a redistribution of time. Same number of hours in a day - different allocation of how I embrace them. So often, I would be frustrated by the many, many books, articles, videos, podcasts, etc. that I ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 9
Good morning! Day 9: the penultimate, in this journey of inner exploration. We are almost complete, ever mindful that we can begin anew anytime we choose. There is never an end - only pauses along the way to live out discoveries and re-awaken the desire for yet another deep dive into the unclaimed possibilities. How does it go? The purported Chinese ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 7
Good morning! In my own life and with others, I became aware of patterns and how these patterns, themselves, become the very fabric of our existence; aware that they come to shape our very lives into what we come to call ‘reality’. These patterns come to be relied upon as not only the right thing and the appropriate thing, but the essential thing for our ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 6
Good morning! It has been the longest 5 days of my life! :) Great surges of insight! Deep undulations, reminiscent of those from so long ago. Churning and swirling and twisting….. constant movement of the Soul, as is to be expected when a Great Journey is undertaken. And in this moment, calm. This is what it must be to enter into the eye of a ... Continue Reading >>
Whispers from Within: Day 5
Good morning, All! Today, I feel the wrenching. And the truth is: sometimes, when something has been fixed for so long, the wrenching is required for it to be dislodged. A very, very old wave activates as I notice an inner voice speaking to me, in the timbre and cadence of a much younger me, chastising that I have gone too far. That I have asked too ...
