I’m Musical Wanderings: Black Sabbath to Simple Minds & Beyond
What is your favorite genre of music? Recently on the commute home, listening to old-school FM radio, The whole spectrum in 30 minutes, Simple Minds, “Don’t You Forget About Me”, then Black Sabbath, “War Pigs” … just wow, wow wow.

Peaceful Vigil
Our mom is dying; elderly, disabled, 87, she’s nearing her time. We know not the hour or the day, but the hospice team says it’s “eminent.” Didn’t know they had a word for each level of the process of dying. She seems at peace; I haven’t asked her explicitly if she is, just seems so. …
Eminent Status
Eminent Status, the term they use when a patient is nearing the end of life. Things soon to change. My mom has been in hospice care for the last several weeks. As I think I’ve shared elsewhere, my mom is 87 years old and a 29 year stroke survivor. So she’s lived a long time …

A Little More Good,
Inspiration is a funny thing. I think a fundamental goal should be that we seek it everywhere, be open to the spark from any side, any event. Listening to Jonathan Groff talk recently, by happenstance, listening to his story before he became a successful actor, and all of his work in the arts, and his …
Seeking Inspiration
After 36 years working in the business world, the theme bubbles up more frequently now, Seeking balance to the 24/7 pace of the for profit world, in a role that quite literally could often never sleep, Service and support and immediate action the marching orders most days, many of the items in the email inbox …
Expanding Further On Anxiety
So earlier, I had a post about an expanded view of anxiety. And that’s true, I’m feeling more and more that’s my perspective, and expanded view. On that last post, I had shared a note that I have on the wall that that correlates anxiety to coping with discomfort… And maybe that’s true also… But …
