Keep Hope Alive

Yesterday at meditation we had some lively conversation. On the drive home, a Katey and I mentioned something we had both previously learned from Brugh Joy: Release the need to understand.

That idea is shared in his book, Joy’s Way: A Map for the Transformational Journey. An Introduction to the Potentials for Healing with […]

Two Shoes

It has been said a picture is worth a thousand words. This one certainly is:

The photo was taken at 10:14 pm on Friday, December 6, 2019. I had been so focused on the 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle I was working that I did not notice I had on one sandal and one slipper. […]

Life Itself

How each of us views life differs slightly, but the themes of life itself are universal.

Years and years ago I studied dream interpretation with a man who had trained at the C.G. Jung Institute. One aspect of dream meaning is to notice a theme that is emerging as an initiating dream.

Three […]

Everything Holds it’s Opposite

I grabbed this image from a Zen practitioner. Have you ever wondered what makes someone decide to make a commitment to something like Zen? For the most part, we want to be the best we can be.

Today has been a productive day.

I got so much done, I have energy to […]

Use Your Bird Brain

I was writing in my journal how it seems otherworldly that we don’t plan to be back here in our Michigan home until April 6. As I write the question,”What would you have me know?” I hear in my head:

V: Wherever you are is home. Notice how the selfing tells you this is home, […]

Calamities

Patience is needed with everyone, but first of all with ourselves.

~Saint Francis De Sales

One of the daily thoughts I receive comes from Neale Donald Walsh.

This one was was especially poignant:

On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know that nothing is ever as bleak as it […]

Relief!

The Comcast saga came to an end late yesterday morning. Today my fingers are on the keyboard of my PC and I am connected to the SCS domain. The solution was actually simple. And it is what Donny, my customer service agent at my local Comcast store, suggested to me weeks ago: Swap out […]

What Love Can Do

I could begin this article with an update on my SCS-Matters domain still being unavailable here on my home WiFi router, or that our underbelly of our mobile home is not yet insulated or ‘closed up’ as they call it and there is snow on the ground this morning, but I will instead […]

Grief and Relief: RIP Aunt Sharon

Tender emotions here…. Some of the emotions are frustration. I have spent the past two weeks without resolution to my WiFi/Domain not speaking to one another. Twenty three hours on hold with Comcast, Comcast, Comcast, and Bluehost.

Monday evening, Aunt Sharon Basham passed. I met with her family on Thursday evening, went to visitation […]

Bare Perception

At the time of this writing, I am still holding space for resolution with the issue of not having access to the SCS-Matters.com domain using my Comcast WiFi at home that began 10 days ago. This morning I was successful logging in using the unsecure Xfinity WiFi hotspot, and I am on my laptop at […]
