The Everyday Mind

On Purpose

Guided by our last posts engagements, let’s talk about the idea that what we don’t change we choose.  Consider this sentiment, challenging as it is true: No matter our circumstances, life is still a series of choices.  As some life-choice series seem harder than others, there is no way to equalize external […]

Shed

I consider myself called to post on a  subject when I’ve had more than a few opportunities to discuss it in a short period of time. Collective energy and all that. So in this year of nine and the snake, where we collectively shed old skin, let’s take a dive […]
