Beauty comes in so many forms!!

Not sure if this pic shows how totally epic this spider web is ?! This beauty (spider about the size of a quarter) made it just this evening clinging between our giant backyard tree, the fence and the driveway pavement … a span of at least 10-15 feet … magnificent.

Super sad news today … my daughter had to let her pup Rue go over the rainbow bridge. Pneumonia and a heart condition was just too much for her little body. She has been a HUGE part of or family and events team .. there is a hole in our hearts tonight.

We knew this when they approved him. This guy was always the wrong solution to the right problem … how to evolve our sick-care to healthcare.

Dottie said PLEASE can we walk so the grand girls and I pulled out all the rain gear and took our afternoon constitutional! #rainydays

Ever hear of Landmark or Forum? Guess what? It's almost pure Scientology in all of that and has been from the beginning with Est back in the 1970s. Here's me and @alip2.bsky.social breaking it down. Enjoy! youtu.be/5InEtgkumQw

Well it happened …. ICE picked up someone we know. A construction worker here quietly going about his life. Planned to work one more year till his 65th birthday and then head home to El Salvador. No criminal anything.

Thanks for putting a spotlight on!

Being a Giver in a Transactional World Some BIG stuff has been going on for me personally as I work to get my Dallas area home of 22 years, longest I have lived in any home ever, ready to sell.You’d think I’d be excited—we’re moving

Started writing again … I love this medium above all … you get time to capture the thoughts and ideas down exactly the way you mean them … this one has been on my mind for awhile ilumn8.life/library/bein...

I try to read at least 5 pages each day from one of the many books I have stacked around me. Today’s selection Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmer .. Today’s wisdom “Not everything should be convenient” … what am I willing to be inconvenienced by today? How about you?

How do we do it?

Made it to Friday .. some weeks it feels like a triumph.

Super bummed to see the news today about the cancellation of Colbert … I think this is the last straw for this former CBS fan. Planing to cancel cable Monday and contribute that bit to PBS … hopefully Colbert will turn up someplace we can watch without feeding corporate monsters. Dottie agrees 👇

How poetic would it be if the current regime losing about and being unwilling to release these documents is what finally breaks the hold?!

Everyone pray for my grand dog Rue … she is in the hospital today trying to get fluid out of her lungs and slow down her heart degenerative condition. Vet says if she responds she can have several more happy playful years.

Enjoyed the McKinney, TX #nokings rally. Inspiring to see what was estimated to be 3k people stretched a couples miles. Hope is alive!

Dave sends me pics each morning from my future home back in PNW … love these foggy rainy days for movies and knitting 🧶 #everydaymatters

Happy 3rd Birthday to my granddaughter Izzy … she sang happy birthday along with us … don’t think she really knows it’s her birthday but she was happy to open all presents!

The Apostles of Mary of Magdalena (what tiny bit survived) are fabulous… rumor is he appeared to her and Peter took the story as his own … sound familiar?!

Chris did a fabulous job in this short episode of explaining the ways coercive control happens AND what we can do about it as an individual as well as group. Our biggest weakness is iur assumption that we can not be fooled, manipulated or controlled.

Question … do you think you change your mind on things? If so WHAT comes along or happens that precedes the change? Please respond from your personal experience vs explain information on the question. Reading Jon Atack’s book Open Our Minds and pondering deeply much of what is offered there.

Bernie Sanders is calling it OUT right now in CNN town hall. Says the corruption we gotta deal with isn’t middle class government workers or poor people on Medicaid it’s campaign finance. Nothing like some truth bombs to get through hump day.

Lost a dear friend today, Dwight Frindt. Here we are the first time we met in person (2020) when Dave & I met up with Suzanne & Dwight in Haiti to develop a leadership training for a NGO there when no other consultants would do it unless they could own the program …says a bit about who Dwight was.

Best sunrise pic of the week from the new property where we are building … plus some Raccoon prints … retaining walls going up.

Good trouble!! Thanks to Cory Booker for stepping up.

The foundation work continues… this time next year come by for a drink in the deck and kayak ride in the Puget Sound!
