I’ve written about this before, but it’s on my radar, again, this week because we are working with middle schoolers, today. When we were fifteen, my friends, Bill, John, and I learned Transcendental Meditation (TM). Our parents drove us to nightly lessons, probably for a week, to lectures about TM and, eventually, to receive our …
It’s Sunday and we’re sitting in the second row of a UU Church in Danbury, CT eagerly waiting folksingers Sally Rogers and Howie Bursen to begin their show. We met Sally over 20 years ago when Beth and I were active in the Children’s Music Network. We stayed with them at their home in Pomfret, …
Tomorrow marks one week since I removed Facebook and 100 other applications from my phone. Since that time, I have not visited my FB account via mobile or desktop. I’m proud of that success and I look forward to continuing the journey wherever it leads. And I sure as hell hope that it doesn’t lead …

It’s 8:15pm and I am sitting in our RV, enjoying the energy that’s in this 22’ home on wheels. Beth is facilitating her Reiki Circle (Tuesday Nights, if you’re interested), so I came here to enjoy a call with a fellow traveler (ACA speak for another member). I think I’ll come back. The heater works …
Today, I woke up with a case of the “blahs.” This is not unusual. The holidays are over and it’s back to work for many of us. In my case, it turns out that the pain I was in (mentally and physically) was soothed by taking some positive actions. In today’s video, I tell the …
Here’s a video message: https://youtu.be/74sIlEQHjao I hope it works!
When we visit a school, there’s usually a song or a moment that sticks with me when the residency is finished. Sometimes, it’s a student (or a teacher) who had an “A-Ha” moment when they offer a lyrical line, a melodic phrase or some sort of hook that makes the song sing. It’s always pleasant …
