Miracles at Work: Turning Inner Guidance Into Outer Influence
•
The first book of 2026 is a pretty good indication of what’s occupying my mind. This book by Emily Bennington is wonderful whether you’re familiar with The Course in Miracles or not, but even a small familiarity might be a bit helpful. Here’s how this book helped me: a reminder…

State of the Blogger
•
State of the Blogger and not of the Blog because I think the state of the Blog is pretty apparent. I’d summarise my current state as letting go but not giving up. I just realised that if I’m ever going to move this ship forward I have to let go…

A More Interesting World
•
I’ve been thinking a lot lately how some people live in such more interesting worlds than I do. They see ghosts, see the future, can talk to spirits, guides, angels. And they do these things so convincingly. I live in a world where when I smell fresh cut grass I…

10th Marathon Complete
•
My sixth Big Sur Marathon and tenth marathon is all wrapped up. Didn’t really train, but I did get those two long runs in. They did enough-I finished under the 6 hour mark. Wasn’t my worst marathon but it was my worst Big Sur, as far as time. The run/walk,…

Run/Walk Timer Temptation
•
I actually opened the Amazon App today because I realized I need a run/walk timer for a road race tomorrow. I figured it would be under $20.00 so what could it hurt? Sure enough, found the run/walk timer and sure enough, it could be delivered today. But then I started…

Especially when they started offering opportunities to diverse businesses and providing products for a diverse shopper I felt like they represented Minneapolis well. The Minneapolis I have called home the last 20…

Man, This is Tough
•
Seriously. However long the time has been since my last post I’ve thought about logging in daily. But man, oh man. I’m having a tough time. It feels like the world is a little upside down and there is so much sadness. It’s kind of all I can do to…

Be the Change
•
I had to delete a few posts because I realized I wanted to really try to focus on finding the prettier side of things. It’s hard and I’m not there yet. Target announcing they were backing down on DEI was confusing, sad, frustrating and one of the posts I deleted…

Products I Need to Replace
•
This is so overwhelming. But baby steps, right? First up, I need to replace my laundry detergent. I’ve used Method Ginger Mango for years now and I love the scent. Not overwhelming, slightly sweet. Fresh. Alas, Method Products rate 86% in republican contributions. If you’ve stumbled on this post and…

Road to Big Sur
•
I had my first blog around the time I ran Big Sur the first time. It was simple and fun and took off in ways I didn’t expect. It became overwhelming and I abandoned it completely. Lately I’ve been wishing I kept it going and all these lessons I’m learning…
