DON’T GET PIZZA WRONG: The disc must be chewy, and the red drippings must be the perfect balance of tangy […]
If I Were A Ghost…
IF I WERE A GHOST… Could I still be haunted? Could I still be daunted? And I would still get all jealous and sour when people flaunted their shiny objects and expensive trinkets?

What Are You Saying A Resounding “Yes” To?
Geez, I don’t know. First thing that comes to mind is that I’m saying yes to being broken. I have a broken tail bone and I’m embracing this down time. I’m going with the flow, learning and growing, right? Or am I simply escaping into television and cannabis? Am I crawling out my life and […]
Describing the Most Beautiful Sound I’ve Ever Heard (A Sensory Piece)

Existing Infinitely (Verbing Adverbally: The ‘Core Values’ Coaching Tool In Action)
In Martha Beck’s new book The Way Of Integrity she talks about using a verb + adverb phrase to discover your core values.
