“I am…”, Week 9 MKE, 2019

I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy. What a beautiful gift in Haanel this week. This has been on repeat for me for 3 years now, it comes in whenever a moment of doubt tries to gain prominence. It works and it’s a beautiful reminder of the simplicity of this work. And […]

Battleship, Week 8 MKE, 2019

I was envisioning the ship this morning during my sit. Haanel in week 8, I always love this exercise. It’s applicable to every single thing. Door, wall, car, window, building, organization, person–each one required something to be born in thought first, idealized and given nourishment to be made likely first into words before actual matter. […]

“Up a storm”, Week 7 MKE, 2019

We had an interesting car conversation last night about the meaning of “up a storm”. We were heading to dinner after an appointment, and I mentioned that our kitty who had been sick was now “eating up a storm!” What does that mean, the kids asked. We speculated on the meaning of the phrase which […]

So startling, Week 6 MKE, 2019

I love the Part 6, Section 19 from Haanel: The possibilities of attention when properly directed are so startling that they would hardly appear credible to the unititiated. How amazing is that. What a promise and hope for us all! He goes on: The cultivation of attention is the distinguishing characteristic of every successful man […]

With love in my heart, Week 5 MKE, 2019

The beauty of my little Clare turning 7 on 11/1 this week is the most wonderful joy. To remember the week that brought her into the world, Hurricane Sandy having just landed in NYC area, but we made it to the hospital (barely) and she was born 45 mins later! In a flash she was […]

Doing the work, Week 4 MKE, 2019

It’s a process, any personal growth. It’s iterative, forward and back. Sometimes I am on top, sometimes not as much. We are leaving Sam’s memorial celebration today to head home from Ohio and it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Overriding it all is the feeling that I’m happy to be with the people […]

WOW, Week 3 MKE, 2019

I have been a frequent flyer in October–work trips all over the east and west. I met 30 city environmental leaders from 20+ states this week alone! I am also fully enjoying my time even more with Scotty and our kids (who all have birthdays in the next 8 weeks!) when I am home. Everyone […]

Rainbows, Week 2 MKE, 2019

It has not been all rainbows around here, but maybe it has despite tough times. And yesterday I drove through the middle of a big one on the way to the airport for a new project interview in Cleveland. My neighbor posted a beautiful shot of it, and this is my street! Photo credit: Malinde […]

Sam, Week 1 MKE, 2019

This is blinking blankly and I wish I were writing a tribute to the start of Jewish New Year and an MKE year and the sale of a rental house this Friday on YOUR street that has eluded us for two years and the first of my 9 grants that I have so vigorously talked […]

March 2019/Cleo

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. Our 5-year old William said it at the end of February and has he been right! Weather-wise, yes, but the storms of life raged on the very first day of this third month of 2019. Our friend and her dogs had been staying with […]
