CREATING A DAILY PRACTICE OF JOY

Nevermore: The Fall of an Empire

October 14, 2018

. . .it is my profound fear that we have become a senile empire and that our leaders are waging war on the world with a bellicose frivolity that many of us believe may lead us to where Austria found itself — become a dinosaur empire filled with relics of an overwrought past.

So what happens from here? Well, what happens is what always happens. The eagle turns out to be a raven that wisely knows nevermore.

Something has to change. Something has to stop. And those of us who have the voice to speak have to find means to speak to that change in ways that feel true to ourselves.

Reflect, Refresh, Rejoice!

May 1, 2018

Over these past three years, I have shared my various joy practices here in a variety of ways, but it has always been the honest truthtelling that has resonated most for all of us. So that's what I'm going back to. . .My weekly blog just honestly sharing where I'm at, in the hopes that my words and my experience will land where they need to for anyone else who needs them. So while this website still has access to everything that I've posted these past three years, the focus going forward will be one weekly blog. I've rebuilt this website to reflect that. I hope you enjoy it. You see, I realized that's what I've been missing. Our weekly "conversations" about heart, joy, love, life, struggle, redemption, learning, living, being, becoming.

Monster Vitamins: Old Voices or New Choices

April 8, 2018

Studies have shown that 85 - 90% of what we spend our lives fearing NEVER comes to pass.

Let me say that again: The VAST MAJORITY of the things we worry about never transpire.

And yet, we spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about these imaginary disasters. And when we worry, we behave and feel and live like the things we fear ARE going to happen.

Keeping It Simple

November 10, 2017

Maybe I'm all talked out.

Maybe I am needing to mirror autumn, and just let my leaves fall and my branches go bare for a season.

Maybe it's just too hard to write about joy when I read about so much that is joyless -- worse than joyless, actually. Heartbreaking.
