There's something to be said for Kitchen Table Wisdom - you know, like in the old days when people sat around the kitchen table after a meal and talked about life, the universe and the meaning of it all - as well as the gossip doing the rounds in town...

Well, that's what this place is - a place to share common wisdom, thoughts and feelings about things important and unimportant, that bring us joy, laughter and happiness and that trouble, sadden, confuse and anger us ...

What I write here is what's 'real' for me. It won't always be PC or 'nice'. We're missing out on true connection and chances to grow and change because there's too little authenticity, too little honesty, too much holding back what we really feel and mean.

Welcome to my world...

I used to have a copyright claim here, but I've removed it...

Ideas don't belong to anyone -

they come to those who are receptive and are to be used for the well being of all...

I find images and movies and music all over the web

and I use them to accent/expand on my thoughts and understandings...

Oh, the Power of the Word



In the beginning there was the Word, and the word was God….

That’s very old code for: You are the creator of your own life and experience, and the thoughts and words you use create that reality…   Powerful concepts, filled with the wonder and thrill of endless creativity, but also with the responsibility for the consequences that come with the act of creation…

I’ve been playing with words a lot lately, and the idea of truth telling…

Do you speak what’s real for you and can you just let that out, or do you censor yourself, choose the words and the timing of saying what it is you have to say?

Words have power – the power to create or destroy, nurture or wound, empower or disempower…   How much do you think about that power that you’re wielding every time you open your mouth to let out those small or big , hard or soft words?

It seems to me that for many of us the challenge is to move from a place where we were too intimidated to speak up and speak out to one where we are committed to expressing who we are and what we really think.   For others, it might be the reverse – learning, deciding that at this point in our lives we might become quieter, more deliberate, more reflective…

Where are you on that continuum?
