Always learning
It keeps dawning on me that no matter what I’m doing, thinking or with whom I’m interacting, I’m learning, consciously or unconsciously. A question I’m now asking is: What am I learning? To challenge my thinking or argue that I’m right (again)? To argue my logic or listen from my heart? To hold my breath…

Read MoreThe Problem with Thinking … Only Certain Thoughts
I just finished reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Regardless of the mixed reviews of the Pulitzer Prize winner, I loved it. The last 10 pages got me thinking about thinking.

Read MoreWhat’s your word for 2014?
I have a collection of dictionaries and I’ve been known to read them. (No, not all the way through! Not all at once, anyway.) Nuances, subtleties, double ententres, etymology, layers of meaning – they all get my juices flowing. (Balderdash, anyone?) I write poetry, dabble in Haikus and blog. I snap pictures of bumper stickers…
Read MoreBeen nudged lately?
I got a D in English when I was a sophomore in high school. I don’t remember who my teacher was or if I liked him or her. I don’t remember who I sat next to in class. I don’t remember being yelled at by mom or dad; it’s likely they expressed their deep, deep…
Read MoreFind your edge, Ring your bell
When visiting last week, my two AZ nieces demonstrated the job of a kid: try stuff and see what happens. It’s a job for adults, too. The 7 and 10 year-old were in constant motion – boogie boarding, cart wheeling, tree climbing. We took them to the Pacific Edge. Fearlessly and with big grins, they…
