Word Ban…

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? WordPress/Jetpack, is now coming up with these little prompts to get users to open conversations and write about things to provoke response amongst readers. I have been avoiding jumping on this prompt pushing, as I am more of a free flowing, talk about what speaks to me, topic…

Distractions

Our society has been so focused on being highly capable of doing it all, to the point that we are not only spread thin but our output may be lacking a bit of girth and substance. A person’s worth and success has been tied to what all they have been capable of managing and doing, while achieving, growing, nurturing, and adding to the already…

I’m (NOT) Back!

While I have been absent from social media, I realized a couple of important things. I love people and I love to see what is happening in their lives…but I don’t think our interaction with humanity is meant to be done so largely through technology.

I chose this photo of Maria to serve as the embodiment of…

Empathy, the signs are all around

This was a memory from yesterday’s date, a few years ago.

There is an urgency for healing, for clarity, for releasing the old things, because we are all going to need room for the new. We are building to…

Love your inner child, & outer adult

There’s a lot to be said about becoming a mature adult, and adversely being an immature adult, but we aren’t really going to talk about that today. Nope, we are going to instead clarify how embracing your inner child, is essential to your life. This isn’t to say you need to be immature to be childlike, but you can embrace the child you in…
