I thought it was important, and hopefully useful, to hear how I’ve learned to watch for patterns and marketing hype in our midst. The hot topic du jour is sure to be replaced by another in a couple of weeks. When we stop focusing on the details and start looking for patterns, our manipulation is evident and

Over time a language, unique to the bond that is ‘them’, forms. We learn to read each other’s mannerisms. We can find frustration in a tone and hurt in the shrinking of touch. As a woman, raised in the time of “a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”, I grew up with many destructive narratives around women and relationships that can be drilled down into

A woman came up to me out of the blue and said, “Climate change is real, you know”. I was a little taken aback. There had been no conversation around the topic. She didn’t know what I thought nor was she asking. There was no invitation to conversation. Just a statement, like a dropped …

It had taken years of planning, saving, preparing, and searching before we finally bought that farm. I felt good. I felt secure. We finally had land. We were finally in a position where we were fully responsible for ourselves. Come hell or high water, we knew we had what it took to be independent and sovereign stewards of the land

It seems to me the whole point of why we’re here, what I’m being called to do. How can I evolve and grow into the meaning of my life if I don’t use what I’m being shown to do? And lessons, as I’ve learned, don’t seem to come in ease and joy. That’s the letting down your hair and taking a breath part. The lessons come in waves, before there is to be any letting

And who, pray tell cooks for you, my fine feathered friend?” It’s going to be another jam-packed day as all days at this time of year are. This is harvest season for us.

I’m not that old that I think all parents are raising their kids by running them from class to class, screen to screen, event to event, but there most definitely has been a shift in the collective view of child rearing. To be bored has been transformed from “well then do something” to a quasi-medical emergency. As if a

We live in an extractive society. We want to know what parts of the whole are the ones to focus on. Quick and dirty - give us the bullet points. All around us, the whole is increasingly being fragmented with a peddler for every part. Promises offered for any malady. Solutions for any problem. A guru for every subject. Everything, including you, broken down into its effective parts.Some people have chalked up the failings of our time to politics or corporations or evil. I think it’s probably all of
