Friendship

There's something about their occasional non-chalant, but loving companionship that I've found to be sincerely emotionally healing.

To me, loving animals is not just only about how they make us feel. It's an act of seeing them with as much compassion and clarity that we can at the time.

Food is something we all have in common. It comforts us. Cooking and sharing food is one of the most "human" things we do. It's about connection.

When we tear ourselves down verbally long enough, we may start to make choices that can lead us to places in life we don't really want to be.

Granted, we want to stay safe. But we can reach out to those we love or reconnect with friends. "Presence" will mean than any new gadget ever will.

It was a really great day. Lovely weather, chatted with a friend, and life felt good. BUT, a few days ago? It was a different story.

Someone had drawn a heart in the sand. Just about a foot away they'd written the words: "You are loved. We're gonna be okay."

There are core issues being debated--some of these issues have wreaked havoc on the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens for hundreds of years.

When you step into your personal power, you're giving other's permission to do the same. Not that they need it, of course. And that's the point.

Do your best to re-frame the argument where instead of "you against me," it's "us seeking what's true."
