I prefer to share uplifting n positive stuff. BUT.....upon coming home from school, I'm told that in S.A.G.E fashion there was a discussion about "the India thing" (as we like to call it around our home). I am very grateful for S.A.G.E and its commitment to focus learning partially around global issues. It's my choice … Continue reading “The thing in India”
A day full of quinoa
One of the really cool things about my "job" is that I am both the teacher and the student. In the words of Henry Ford: Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. In coaching … Continue reading A day full of quinoa
Beyond the studies……cutting
Just as the perfect storm gathered last week within the environment, as well, the perfect storm within my walls was created. Unlike the likes of Sandy and those just as powerful before her, my storm, I didn't see coming. I had no idea. Winds, moisture, pressure, temperatures and even the moon, a merging of weather … Continue reading Beyond the studies……cutting

If you want to "eat better, look better, feel better" check out her program. There is that challenge between living in the present and planning ahead. "Those who plan ahead get ahead". We're not just … Continue reading Do Dare Dream
Kids, Self Esteem and Summer
The best journey to take your kids on this summer is the trip to "self esteem". School is wrapping up and I hear the itineraries of the summer filling up for the kids. How about "going back to the lab". A term I use when the focus is taken inward. A time to reassess and … Continue reading Kids, Self Esteem and Summer
Juggling
A story I would like to share. Although I read it in "Invisible Miracles" the identity of the original author is unknown. This may be of particular interest as we proceed through the Triduum; a quiet time of reflection. "When the circus juggler drops a ball, he lets it bounce, picking it up on the … Continue reading Juggling

“Funeral – Remember the first 3 letters”
“Remember the first 3 letters in Funeral” I’m sure someone else said it first. But today I heard it for the first time. I will always remember where I heard it and the circumstances. A place, with circumstances that I have visited just a little too often lately. As Father prepared to read the Gospel … Continue reading “Funeral – Remember the first 3 letters”
