Master List
Back in the Fourth Grade I remember the class, "Study Skills." It was the first time I recall being taught the concepts behind good learning, good practice, instead of the topics themselves. From then until now I've been on a periodic yet constant journey of trying to make the most of my time. I've found …
All Saints Day
Deep dive into spiritual practice? Not sure how deep, but yep, let’s go. These two most often come to mind when I think about saints: Ignatius of Loyola, and Francis of Assisi. They’re my two guys. I pray frequently, daily really; sometimes multiple times a day; sometimes constantly it seems. Depends on what’s happening in …
Lyrics Post: “This Land Is Your Land”

Lions Work: Saturday Service Project – Greenhouse & Garden, Cupertino
A couple hours is all it took. We were set to gather up some compost and complete delivery. Simple enough. A simple path to a little more GOOD. The destination? A greenhouse and garden beds in need of good soil. This Saturday morning work was a short chapter in a bigger, new project underway from …

A Dad’s Life, Friday Night
Long week in the rear-view, some challenges, some big news, some fun, all in the wake. This morning’s random breakfast, left-over kid’s dinner plus a cheese stick. A Dad’s Breakfast. Fortified for the day. Twelve hours later, whirlwind workday done, lots of learning — always good — and glad the day, the week is done. …
The Face of a Good Attitude
This is the face of a good attitude. School day. Not thrilled. But she turned it around. A little sassy, but in a good and playful way. Inspired by what’s possible. And thankful.
