As the new year gets under way I recall a couple days back, standing in my garage, listening to the rain subside, looking out through the door to the darkness in the backyard. There I was, shapeshifter, projecting forward, writing about the past. My own little take on shape-shifting, maybe more seer forward, looking back. …

Fresh and Forward into 2022
Year Two, Covid, in the books. Big family changes, personal shifts, completed, new patterns established. Plenty of challenge and opportunity for growth at work; intent and planning, all systems go to take it to the next level; hopeful the stars further align, more pieces fall into place. And personally, well, it’s all personal with me. …
Write Way
A reoccurring theme this year, over several years, really the whole of my life, or most of it. As we close out the year, reflecting back, the last couple, ‘20, ‘21, quite a doozy they’ve been.

The Grandeur of Littleness
Snippets for a while from Francis’ Christmas Eve Homily, 2021, This to begin, “Today, all is turned upside down: God comes into the world in littleness. His grandeur appears in littleness.” So simple, so profound. Reset your mind, your soul to this truth. Seek, Embrace, Love the littleness you encounter, you live, God is in …
Moments
Trying to make them when I can, moments for the kids, moments for fun. Not a big thinker most of the time, more an opportunist, open to make it happen if the desire and window of time opens. Case in point? Mid-Sunday afternoon, at a local park, kids playing, then someone has to go potty, …
Safe Mode
Sometimes Safe Mode is necessary. Sometimes it’s the right call. Sometimes it's ok to shift to Safe Mode, to only attend to the essential things that require immediate attention. Safe Mode allows us to narrow focus. Safe Mode strips away the extra, the "bells and whistles", the things that might slow us down, knock us …
