Meditative Hiking
We are not makers of history. We are made by history. ~ Martin Luther King Jr. Being out in nature can soothe the soul. Weather it's watching a beautiful summer sunset, or a winter sunrise that turns into mist and fog, or crossing copious streams and puddles from heavy rains, nature never fails to put…Read more Meditative Hiking
Working from Home: Week 46
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~ Plato Today's quote struck an accord with me this morning. When we talk with friends, family, coworkers or even people we live with, how much do we really know what's going on behind the scenes?

2021: The Year of Opportunities, Possibilities and Listening

Celebrating Life with Burt
Celebrate life. To truly live, celebrate each day of life. Let each day be a festival of joy. It's Friday again! How did that happen? In some ways time moves faster wfh, and in other ways it feels slower. No matter how I perceive time to be passing, it's still important to celebrate life. Did…Read more Celebrating Life with Burt
Working from Home: Week 6
We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. It's week six of working from home, but this week I'm on vacation from the day job.
