Deep listening is a skill desperately needed now as we deal with crisis and public unrest. This became particularly evident when two painful events unfolded around me. I realized I had to move out of my cocoon of familiar thinking and understanding to see the bigger picture of what these events mean. I had to […]
Change is essential to demonstrate that black lives matter – locally, we’ve had 10 days of marches and protests – it’s that important. But in truth inequity is everywhere; I’ve seen it my entire career. In 2017, blacks represented 12% of the U.S. adult population, but 33% of the sentenced prison population* In the mental health […]
Is the unrest and underlying political contrast or contradictions creating distress for you? The turmoil in our nation is deeply disturbing, a result of long brewing issues. While I don’t like to talk politics, this is a time to take notice. What can we learn from these events and how can the contrast to what […]
The first time I understood the notion of our pain-body, and how being present was its antidote, was over 20 years ago when I read the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, * I am re-reading it with my supervision group and it is just as powerful as it was then. This book was responsible […]
When I wrote ways to be resilient in tough times 4 years ago, little did I know what we would be facing now. So, I’m re-posting it with relevant changes because it contains some helpful points. We’ve all been hit by the curve ball of the pandemic. What’s allowing you to get through difficulty with […]

It was a sobering thought that will take more contemplation, but it made me wonder. Is this in fact what is needed now? Later, while taking a walk, a friend called […]
The image of aging, when I was young, is sure different than the reality. Now, I’m aware that there is so much more to getting older than getting old. Thankfully, there’s a world of new attitudes out there about aging. I had a birthday in the midst of the Covid-19 restrictions. As a May Day […]
With the shutdown changing our lifestyle and a new pup to care for, I’m noticing we have an opportunity to rediscover the obvious – our true nature. This has become apparent watching the instinct driven explorations of Bodhi, my 3.5 month old puppy. It’s making me aware that we too have basic traits that define […]
Being in the “pause” made this a great time to get a puppy, but what’s been an interesting bonus are the timely lessons. My brother, a vet, texted; “LOL – oh, so you got a comfort pet”. Well yes, now that you mention it. But in the week we’ve had our pup, it’s turned out […]
It has been amazing to hear the comments of gratitude from people in the midst of our surreal Covid-19 lifestyle. It appears to be the most helpful perspective for coping with the restrictions we’re all under. I have found this to be particularly moving since some of the people I work with are in really […]
