uncommon thoughts to unthink the common life

Is There Wonder in This Woman?

Is There Wonder in This Woman?

Someone once said, ‘if you tell the truth you never have to remember what you said.’ I loved that. So true. It’s this thought that crosses my ever-moving mind as I ponder the  ‘attacks’ that seem to sometimes come my way....

Even a Tiger Has a Shadow

Even a Tiger Has a Shadow

Tiger Woods is out of the shadows. I know. Disappointing to say the least but seemingly true. Not one to subscribe to media babble, I tried to ignore this story when it first ‘broke.’ My gut knew something was up but whenever it blared through the box, I wanted to...

Plastic People

Plastic People

I have a friend who is convinced that 5000 years from now they are going to dig up our remains and call us the ‘Plastic People.’ Our artifacts will substantiate the title and the new (and, obviously, much wiser civilization)  will scratch their heads in...

The War of Art

The War of Art

Here is a shout out to all of my artist, writer, and entrepreneurial friends....and anyone else who really wants to do create something. Read The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. This is my second go around with this little gem....

On a more personal level I am a believer – in the planet and its people. I believe that life is meant to be full and joyful, people are inherently good, and that every living thing simply matters.

I write because there is so much to say. It’s my fervent desire to open hearts and minds to the possibility of another way of being. To show both sides to a story…the duality of life.

Welcome. I’m happy you are here and I hope we can both find a way to see outside of our own common thoughts.
