Stop shooting the “stars”

My daughter just fell asleep after 45 minutes of tears or what I call, the wave moving.
I am struck tonight with how our society likes to shoot our “stars.” Tonight at Guides, I watched as three adults (including me) approached my daughter and told her to share the computer with her partner. [...]

The skates aren’t comfortable and they don’t fit!

Talking to a WEL-systems colleague, today, I was struck by “skates” as a metaphor.

Today we made another step to living fully in the present

We did our wills.
Hang on to your hat, this is another “the truth of my experience for me”. I can’t believe how freeing it was and I am still metabolizing the experience. I thought that I had thought it all through and yet there was many questions that I had never considered. [...]

Our children get lives

Today, when I arrived back from a gathering, our daughter was home. I was curious and asked why. My partner told me that she was not comfortable with the substitute teacher, so she put up her hand and asked to call her mother (okay, my cell phone was shut off as I was [...]

“My” Women of Intensity gathering is

This week and last week I have been attending Marie’s RELAX INTO…Journey of Discovery… and I am finding so much more.
Today I got really clear on what “my” Women of Intensity gathering is, as usual for me, it is easier to get clear on what it is not. It is not [...]
