Hah! There’s a world out there! For me, this will be the biggest challenge in the weeks and months ahead: How to stay calm, untriggered, not angry and get my work done in a world that will progressively be closing in on me. CEO, pipeline, person with friends…. For an awareness writer and a virtual […]
As executives in humanitarian-philanthropic organizations, we’re going to be called upon to make decisions and give our reasons for them. Others in the organization will also be charged with making formal decisions and stating why they decided as they did. Have we a model to follow, fully knowing that it could be used as a […]
Part One. I have a conference call in a short while and I asked myself: “How do you feel?” And the answer that came back surprised me: “I feel insecure.” Not “unsafe.” I don’t feel unsafe on any level. Michael has my back, front, and sides. But insecure. The distinction I make between them is […]
It’s so hard to leave off following the news, even though I know it simply reinforces my dualism. It’s like a daily fix. No wonder we hang around in Third Dimensionality so long. Using duality or polarity, we get to feel right. We get to feel comradeship with those who agree with us. We get […]

I suggested earlier that we all help the planet out and voluntarily quarantine ourselves for two weeks. (1) Well, here we all are, voluntarily and involuntarily quarantined, in a laboratory experiment in isolation and social distancing. You’re free for the evening, right? Humor me then. Let’s pretend we’re sociology students. I’m exploring what the impact […]
You Were Made For These Times By Clarissa Pinkola Estes https://tinyurl.com/ufpkvdo My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily […]

Magazine, March 24, 2020 https://tinyurl.com/u9rmla7 How can we stay SANE (strong, active, neighborly, and energetic) during this crisis? With love, careful planning, and care for others—and total lockdown. The end of the tunnel may be a long way off, but if we treat it […]
In putting together the book on the “constructed self” (identity, false front, mask, etc.), I came across this article on all the tools we might use to encounter and deal with the novel and strange, from 2013.
