Now is that moment for more Wilding
Hopefully I’ve nudged you toward the notion that bringing your whole Wild self to work and encouraging that in others…
Where does it go?
Where does it go? The crisis from work, when you’re home; the drama as you left the house? The relentless news cycles…
Seeds
It doesn’t matter how many decades I’ve been doing it. Every single year, when I plant vegetable seeds the size of a pin…
Busy Season
Busy Season
Fall Equinox is upon us. When day and night are equal in length. When long summer days give way to earlier sunsets and cooler temperatures. School is back in session. Holidays aren’t here yet (despite store displays to the contrary). It’s that window of time, post-summer, to dig in, to work hard. It’s fourth […]
When the fog lifts
When the fog lifts
Socked in.
As clouds touch down.
As the sun rises
filtered by fog
to a gentle glow.

It’s the perfect temperature

in order to see.
In order to be seen.
Fog can settle restlessness.
Can ease the strain of […]

We can and we do tap into our inner spirit
especially if we make room and pay attention.
But what if our […]
Being there for others and ourselves
Is there anyone NOT managing challenging circumstances outside of work right now? It seems like everyone I know…myself included…is juggling really hard stuff at home, while also needing to be at the top of their game in their work life.
Thus, we are left to balance and negotiate. To prioritize and then toss plans up in […]
The Light Today
Air thick with humidity.
Sun hazy but blinding still in its glare.
Today holds ease in its harsh light.
Ease in that we best not rush,
the heat will overwhelm.
Move slowly—unlike everything we ever hear
in our human to human exchanges.
Walk carefully, pause in the shade
so that you might drink in the beauty of this day.
Move too fast and the […]
Where does it go
Where does it go? The crisis from work, when you’re home; the drama as you left the house? The relentless news cycles of shootings and war, of a planet critically out of balance? How do we hold the news of our world and the deeply personal pain and grief that we all carry? What are […]
