5/20/26 Greetings Creators, Collaborators, Focus-Finders, Habit-Breakers, and Hope-Bringers! Some dear friends of mine introduced me to the game of pickleball a few years back. And let me just tell you...I fell in love with this game. For so many reasons. Here’s one...deployment of a Jedi practice. For those who may not know: in pickleball, you can only score a point when you’re the server. But here’s the catch—if your serve doesn’t land cross-court inside the correct boundary, it’s a...

5/06/26 I’ve been thinking about thinking lately...and also about routines we create and repeat each day to navigate necessary tasks. And then the habits that often seemingly just default out of the routine. I’ve wondered just how long...how many months and years will we continue the same repeatable patterns? How long or even what does it take for us to awaken from our habitual slumber? Without question one of the answers is major life-changes like job changes, divorce or loss of our pets....

4/15/26 Hello Wild Souls, Song-Carriers, Quiet Listeners, and Those Tuning Themselves to What Matters! Image by Kev from Pixabay.com Happy to declare—April is officially my favorite month of the year. Why? Yesterday (and a few days before that), I was serenaded by a Carolina Wren. He perched himself on the top railing of my deck and sang at the top of his lungs. It was mesmerizing… watching the soft feathers on his throat trilling as he called out.He’d sing—then pause, as if listening.Then...

4/1/26 Greetings Wild-Hearted Friends, Deep Feelers, Gentle Healers, and Sacred Pausers. My life completely changed forever last week. On Wednesday, Pieces and Willis both crossed over. I have seen this coming for months as they were both 15 years old….so I did have time to prepare myself. But some things you just can’t prepare for...some things you just have to wing on the fly. I shared more of their story—and some of my favorite photos—here if you’d like to see:...

3/18/26 Greetings Wildhearted Wanderers, Hope-Dealers, Bridge-Builders and Bringers of Light! I’m going to blame homeschooling. Yep. My junior and senior years of high school, I was homeschooled. And it was during those years that I realized something important: once I finished the required coursework each day, I was free to study what truly fascinated me. Ahhhh… exploration! The problem was, back then, there was no internet and resources were scarce. Mostly, it was the Encyclopedia...

3/11/26 Greetings, Wild-Hearts, Truth-Tellers, Light-Followers, and Builders of a Different Kind of Life. I too crave a different kind of buzz. From the very first time I heard the song Royals by Lorde, something about those lyrics captivated me. The words felt gritty and messy but also deeply real. I could sense there was truth hiding in them… but I struggled to understand the metaphors for a long time. If you want to get a better sense of what I’m talking about, take three minutes and...

02/26/26 Greetings, Wildhearted, Cycle-Keepers, Light-Followers, and Brave Becoming Ones. If you were to ask me what my favorite season is you’d hear me say, Spring. Spring is that time where things come back to life...and awaken from the long slumber of Winter. The smells, the return of the color green, longer daylight, warmer temps, the return of the songbirds. I think much of my appreciation for Spring is because I love to be outside...and Winter restricts outdoor adventuring a bit. And...

Patterns within myself and the subtle spiritual hygiene of attention. image from litfuck.com I’ve been noticing some things lately. If you happen to be a facebook user...you likely have a facebook routine. (Instagram and Tiktok apply here too.)

02/12/26 Greetings Creators, Edge-Walkers, Hope-Dealers, Bridge-Builders and Light-Bringers! Slipping into the comparison mind-trap. In our current world, where attention is currency, the competition for my and your attention is a fierce battle! There’s a whole plethora of courses being taught on how to quickly gain and how to longer hold our attention via social media, via news headlines, via random tiktok videos and on and on. Pretty, not pretty? I am an observer...and many things can be...
