Newsletters

Happy Monday! I hope you all have had a great couple of weeks. My family went on a trip to Sicily so I didn’t send out a newsletter last week. It is always amazing to visit new places, learn about a different culture and see ancient structures from the 5th century BC. We went to beaches, ruins,…

Happy Monday. I hope you are all doing well. As I have shared, these last couple of months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. There have been lots of lasts in preparation for new beginnings for both of my children. It is a lot to hold.  As I look ahead to my…

I hope you are all doing well. As I write this I am flying to North Carolina to attend my second graduation ceremony in 24 hours. My son graduated from high school at 4pm today (Sunday) and my daughter will graduate from college at 9am tomorrow (Monday); perhaps just as you are reading this newsletter. My…

He said that the school had taught him how to SERVE and how to CELEBRATE.  I absolutely loved this message and quickly jotted it…

As I write this newsletter I am in New Orleans getting ready to travel back from yet another college visit. This has been a very busy month and with senior events, impending graduations and a family trip it is set to continue that way for the next six weeks.  For myself, a routine is important…

I hope you all had a nice weekend. Usually at some point during my week, my message for the next week shows itself; sometimes it’s through meditation but more often it comes from mindful attention in my life. Last Monday, as I was getting ready to teach, I realized that nothing had come to me to share.…

I hope you all had a nice weekend. Last weekend I went to visit my daughter at her college for the last time before she graduates. I went to the airport and was thrilled that security was quiet. I breezed right through until I got to the TSA agent. He scanned my boarding pass, looked…

I hope you all are doing well. My son is in the final weeks of deciding which university he will attend next year. He has been blessed with several excellent choices but with that blessing comes the difficulty of making a decision. We all have our own strategies when it comes to decision making and…
