Sitting with fire
I have strong impulses for things in my life. Some of these impulses cause me great stress. What I call an impulse, others might refer to as a “sturb” (as in a disturbance in the emotional body) or a reaction. When they are present for me, I usually find my self in a placeContinue reading “Sitting with fire”
Do we stumble when we look up?
I am on this kick about what it means to thrive in the world today. It’s been in my conversations (many others apparently have this question as well), my readings, my audio books…even my walks are consumed by this topic as I navigate the trails near my home. I feel like myself and so manyContinue reading “Do we stumble when we look up?”
The unsustainable
“Well the word that comes to my mind is…thrive” my friend throws out during one of our weekly check-ins.

He goes for itContinue reading “The unsustainable”

How drugged are we?
I am on my second day of no caffeine. Let’s just say, I’m not exactly a spark plug in the morning. I started this process to help my gut heal; a short-term step to improve my health. But this experiment has me looking deeper into why I like coffee and the impact it has onContinue reading “How drugged are we?”

A quick glance through the internet and you’ll see countless programs focused on youth mentoring programs. Inc. magazine regularly covers stories on mentoring in the workplace and why it’s important to their overall culture. So much demand for mentoring, yet very little in reference to “building mentors”.
