Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay  I am paying attention to how gosh darn often I find my thoughts judging “those people” who are bad and wrong. “They” do not share my perspective, “they” are irrelevant, “they” are a threat. Maybe you know “those other people” too. Othering occurs when I view or treat a person or group … Continue reading “Who are you “othering?””

Did you catch a glimpse or see pictures of the bright light appearing in the sky when Jupiter and Saturn aligned near December 21st? I have enjoyed star gazing my entire life.

Sometimes I enter a new experience or encounter and prejudge how it is going to go. I have attached meaning and a story that is made up in my mind.

Deeper than the external preparation, there is an inner readiness occurring as waves of … Continue reading “How Are You Preparing?”

We have an unprecedented opportunity to create a world that supports optimal expression and experience for every human being and all we cohabitate with here … Continue reading “Imagining Our Future Together”

I feel a bombardment daily trying to convince me that focusing on our differences and making the “other” who does not think like me, look like me, or believe like me is “bad and wrong.” A constant stream of news and social media encourages divisiveness and polarity. I am not buying it. Since I was a small … Continue reading “Bridging the Divide Towards Unity”

My heart is broken open, again. We, here in Minneapolis and around the world, are mourning the murder of George Floyd. This tragic death has ignited pain, anger, destruction and fear. I have taken a deeper dive into conversation and action with my diverse community. Do we NOW in this society, this country, have the … Continue reading “Candlelight Vigil”
