This week is a busy one personally and professionally. In addition to going over the notes I have been provided with, by our hardworking village staff, I am also sharing something i found from 1994.

I see it as a pulling back of the veil or curtain, to reveal the wizard of oz, as simply a pe...

In today's waterfowl podcast, episode 32, I read from a library book by Paul Born. Community Conversations had lots of interesting tips like future search and open space. This is something i had adopted, without knowing that it was already a practical technique or formal process.

This discussion is part examination of outliers attitude, enthroned power b...

In my family, we are so lucky, to hear stormy tales of the west coast and what it is like to be a tug boat captain from tofino. Over dinner conversation at granny sue's we get to hear uncle Ron (granny's boyfriend) talk about travelling the world by sea and air. He can navigate...

I was asked to prepare a brief bit about compassion. As I researched this topic, i began to see it and it's inverse everywhere, as if I was magnetized towards noticing.
