The winding roads of spiritual practice often cross paths with the more practical minded subcultures interested in practicalities. Doing a thing can be more enjoyable than documenting a thing but documenting turns out to be quite helpful in helping others learn to do things. As we knit together our individual experiences our capacity to measure […]

A well dressed, tall, friendly looking white gentleman tried to join me on an otherwise empty blue velvet couch that I had deliberately planted myself in the middle of to avoid socializing. All that was missing was a “closed for business” sign around my neck. I had attempted to tell him “no actually this seat […]
I am no spring chicken. That’s why we bought some spring chickens this weekend. I kid I kid. I do however have a forever 35 face. I come from a line of women who age well sure but I have very consistent habits. I’m lucky to have an ageless look. My husband would say I […]
Yesterday I was really struggling with pain. It was all I could do to scribble up an appreciation for my 18th anniversary using WordPress for my writing.

As I’m heading to our nation’s capital soon I am taking extra care with my “run of show“ as I’ll have more varieties […]

It’s a very compelling piece of writing (or maybe it’s just reading), which I believe is well received by normal people especially older […]

Day 1846 and Doctor’s Orders
I have had a lot of experience with doctors over the last few years. A chronic autoimmune condition isn’t the sort of illness that gets “better” like a virus. It can only be managed. I have come up with endless ways of collaborating with people who far too often believe they are more informed, powerful […]
This Thanksgiving I am feeling particularly grateful for the exceptions in my life. My world is filled with the exceptionally rare. Rare people, insights, businesses, and outcomes are part of building something genuinely new. I suspect I’ll have to justify my faith in investing in and introducing new technologies to the world. We are doing […]
