Keep It Simple, Sweetpea
Right now, it is time to KISS (Keep It Simple, Sweetpea). We are at the high point of Spring. There is plenty of energy, and almost too much abundance. Balance yourself with a focus on simplicity. Simplicity = focus on what is already strong and structural within you. What are your most basic building-blocks? There’s ...
Pilgrim, Where Are You Walking?
Not everyone has a friend walking the Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James, mostly in Spain). Read my friend Nicole’s blog within the next few days, however, and you will. Let her struggle and achievements help you see your own. Nourish yourself from her journey inner and outer, and her moving photographs. Then ...
How to Have An Opinion
Too many opinions are created “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short,” as Hobbes’s famous phrase (about something else) put it. How to have an opinion we can all enjoy?

Crowdsourced Post #3: Can We Crowdsource the Beloved Community?
This post only asks you one question instead of two. Because really, if you answer “yes, we can crowdsource the Beloved Community,” there is only one question left: HOW?* Thanks for your contributions. –Beth *Although the next question is surely, for a person who has patience issues like me, “When?” PS: This is our third ...
Crowdsourced Post #2: Is Patience Truly its Own Reward? Can We Expect Others?
I have learned, at 52, that building the Beloved Community requires patience. I am willing to believe “patience is its own reward.” Two questions: Is this all we can expect from patience? (Does asking this, especially without counting it, make me impatient?) Is patience truly respected when patients so seldom are? NOTE: This is the ...
Crowdsourced Post #1: Is It Workaholism if All Your Work Feels Like Play?
Introduction to these posts This is the first post in a series I hope will be crowdsourced. (Here is the second post in the series. Here is the third.) They are deliberately short on my end to encourage reflection on your end, sent as a Comment to the post. I have got to a place ...
Forgiveness, Freedom, and Fun Learning I Am in the Wrong
It’s a very good day when I learn so well I am in the wrong. This post is dedicated to D, with whom I opened this earlier post. D is a dancer. I honor her in this post with this stunning simple illustration of Loie Fuller doing her “Serpentine Dance.” I know it’s late and ...
Illness and Earning Power: Birth = Worth Interview now Published!
Dudes! Here is an amazing piece of work–a conversation about our intrinsic value, our real worth. Joan Friedlander and I talked last week with lovely guests present on her Lifework Chat teleconference. Joan has just beautifully edited the teleconference and created a blog post presenting it for all of us who like it in print ...
So What?: Action
Well, ok, I’m still alive after witnessing to you about this ascension experience, I guess you could call it. It feels so arrogant and wonderfully freeing to align myself with the Christ: THIS IS THE LOVE I CLAIM. AND OFFER. One reader has asked me why I felt the need to witness: Wanting to embody ...
