Land in this mess, get dirty, notice the places that are not dirty, get them dirty, lay in the muck, and when it is time to rise, shine your bright self forward dirt and all.... I absolutely love the acronym that my teacher, Jillian Pransky, gave to landing. LARLAR It sounds either Norwegian or Icelandic [...]

We are back in business.  I've dropped the ball in updating my website programs and suffered the dreaded look of a website gone mad.  Technology used to be my forfeit but I am not sure where I fell behind.  I marvel at the [...]

Home for the HolidaysRemembering my Pop Pop Mullins on this day. A true Navy man, in it for life.  He served onboard one of the ships at Pearl Harbor and made it to shore safely.  One of the lucky ones. So while I am proud of him for his service to our country, I also [...]

This has been a pretty rough week thus far.  I don't need to rehash why.  But where does one turn when the world seems a pretty rotten place.  How do we heal ourselves and others?  First step is inward and then outward.Our approach to the inner realm must be slow, gentle and filled with compassion [...]
