February 22, 2021 Stream thinking. I practice it every day. Once a week though I set it free so that we can learn how to trust in its presence. Ten minutes. Write whatever you feel. No editing. No judgement. Put it out there! All that’s in your head. The power of stream thinking. Living in the presence of Now. The subject this week is communicating. Ha! Oh my God who does that? Ha! Communicating b...

A day, a moment, a place, an idea.  Why do we elect to work more than we play?  The fear of failure?  A physical presence of fight or flight?  An act of survival?  Life isn't a luxury.  We are challenged to be greater because we have the capability to become.

February 19, 2021 Well they did it! NASA put Perseverance on the planet Mars. Its mission is to locate the potential of there once being life. Potential? The child in me giggles. It knew at seven years old that Martians exist. Part of the modern day conspiracy theory is that Covid 19 is actually an alien that’s invaded our way of living. Who says creatures from outer space have to look like us or...

Calming the monster.  Might it be a collection of many invisible attackers willing to unlock the gates of self control?  At times it reminds me of the photographs sent around the world on January 6th.  The image of the attackers on the capitol.  I remember thinking, "Those images are how these inner monsters are brutalizing me."  My father was always angry or silent. &nbsp...

Charlie Vega is a lot of things that her mostly white Connecticut suburb frowns on: smart, funny, Puerto Rican, and fat. Undaunted, she follows her writing dreams, resists her mom’s weight-loss schemes and even falls for the cute boy from art class—until she realizes that he may be after her bestie, causing all kinds of messy, everything’s-on-fire, growing-up drama. Like Charlie, Latinx author Cry...

February 18, 2021 Numbers. We just can’t make it through a day without somehow getting tangled up in numbers. The government with a trillion dollar aid package versus the number of vaccines being delivered during a pandemic. And it’s because of that monster we’re introduced to even newer numbers. Last week scientists revealed that each of us are three years older due to the stress we’ve been endur...

One of my favorite animals on this planet is the pink flamingo. From their fabulous pink color to their simultaneously elegant yet awkward posture, courtesy of their lanky legs and necks, they are like no other creature on Earth, and I find that fascinating. So, naturally, I was thrilled to hear about Spanish filmmaker Javier Polo's new documentary, The Mystery of the Pink Flamingo, which sets out...

February 17, 2021 Trusting what you write. We see it every day on social media. Those who post trust their personal expressions. As a daily writer I’ve spent the past twenty eight years learning how to trust what falls from the nib of the writing instrument. Some days I like it. Others prove to be an eye opener or an impossible challenge. Yesterday, and for some reason it didn’t seem to come up on...

What we see as challenge isn't always change.  We decide to keep living in a past we'd like to rewrite.  Doesn't that fall into the description of self culture cancellation? And is it healthy to convince ourselves that time itself has ben erased and or replaced by the way you saw it versus the way it actually was?  Cancel nothing.  Make available everything.  The important...
