Most of us know a lot about setting goals. There's something you want to accomplish, you identify it clearly, set objectives, which are like building blocks to move you toward the goal, and then action steps. Having identified and written all that down, you can establish a time line and hold yourself accountable. You may … Continue reading Setting an Intention

If you've been reading here for a while, you know that I love Christmas. Actually, it's time again for my annual Christmas music shares. But before that, let's talk about Winter Solstice. It's December 21, a few short weeks away. The time when the night is longest, right before the earth turns to longer days … Continue reading Preparing for Winter Solstice

Have you ever eaten too much candy - or cake - or whatever treat really excites you? And then after you've kind of gorged on it (gross word, but so descriptive) then you feel kind of half sick and you sort of wish you hadn't done that? That has definitely happened to me.

Yesterday, I met Jon Masters. Well, cyber-met him. And he asked if he could add the Dominant point of view to the brief scene I'd written the day before. I was delighted at the idea, and even more delighted when I saw the finished work. See what you think. The story now starts: Jon had … Continue reading The Whole Story

Rebooting III because I used the title “Rebooting” on a post in 2020, and again on a different post in 2022. But things change, my life changes and here we go again… I’ve decided that I need to actually retire someday and not work anymore. This is a huge change. Previously, my “retirement plan” was … Continue reading Rebooting III…

Warning: If you were googling Buddhist something and found this, this is probably not where you want to be. This is an irreverent look at the (mostly imaginary) intersection between Buddhism and kink. I hope that it is done with enough respect that it's not actually offensive. Continuing my journey at the Buddhist temple, I … Continue reading Don’t Laugh… too much

Sunday, I went to a Buddhist Temple. I guess that might be a bit strange all by itself, or seem strange to some of you. But I've been thinking about it for a long time and I found a place not too far from where I live. It's fairly new, which is nice. So I … Continue reading A Strange Thing Happened…
