to be around? That’s easy. People who are kind. Kindness is more of an active state than a personality trait as I see it, so I guess what I mean is, I like to be around people while they are acting kindly. I’ve seen enough instances where a grumpy someone switches to being kind, oftenContinue reading “My Favorite People…”

Growing up in Canada, hockey was part of life. My earliest memory is going to a game that my dad played in. I mostly remember being freaked out by the blood and all the men with missing teeth. I learned to skate as soon as I could walk. My hockey coach grandfather bought all theContinue reading “I remember”

For joy. For reasons that are bigger than what I know. I paint. Before yoga, before meditation, before I knew about breathing, before I’d ever heard anything about a parasympathetic nervous system, I painted. I paint to drop into a feeling of flow.

My paintings are currently in a gallery in LaJolla on Prospect St. Does it matter that I spent two and a half hours in almost stopped traffic in the much neededContinue reading “Living The Dream”

Ah sweet, sugary, colorful c a n d y My favorite has always been chocolate. I like chocolate by itself, on or with most anything. Does it count as candy? Candy, the colorful kind that makes any candy store beautiful and magical, was weirdly, when I was young, something I loved, but didn’t care toContinue reading “Candy”

Years ago, my best friend found a philosophy that was centered around what the originator called ‘the three principles’. She studied with his protogies and it became a cornerstone for her own life philosophy. I, (I don’t remember why), often argued against it. I don’t think I really disagreed so much as I didn’t wantContinue reading “Energy Challenges”

The most important invention is my smart phone. Before I had a smart phone, I had to spend hours at my local library and Barns and Noble. I had a need to read and before my Kindle, these were my only options. I love physical books, but my reading speed is thwarted by page turningContinue reading “For me”
