Doing vs. Being

This is the time of year that many of us feel more like human doings than human beings. Yesterday afternoon, my husband and son went out to work on costumes for one of my husband’s upcoming Samba School gigs. I had been looking forward to…

Ripe

I just returned from Big Bend National Park Sunday night with my husband and son. I sat out under a million stars, galaxies and a moon so bright it hurt my eyes. I experienced deafening quiet. I walked across deserts and over boulders until…

Stardust

Imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions.--Albert Einstein I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of creating something out of nothing. I just spoke at and participated in RISE global week (grassroots, city-wide, peer-led…
