I often dive into the D&I pool to agitate for a much more humane discussion focusing on love & harmony.

Wellbeing Philosophy ~ Asking Better Questions
Time for the wise feminine philosopher to take the stage.
Wellbeing Philosophy is a customized area of inquiry seeking to highlight a methodology of thinking about what makes a human life full of wellbeing.
Take the old chicken versus egg dilemma. I have never understood why it seems so difficult. Yes, the question begs us to feel helpless in this conundrum; but when you learn how to use Evolutionary Logic, the foundational methodology of Wellbeing Philosophy, you can see a clear answer to which came first.
And once you can sort which came first, you can clearly decide your next priority in changing your world to make things more humane & life-centric.
The Colorless Problem of Race ~ early draft
I agree with Dr. Kendi. Either a person is bluntly anti-racist or just a closeted bigot. That is the American reality of 2019.
Let's INTERCONNECT ~ Why I'm attending the IONS conference
I believe there is an easy answer to the hard problem of consciousness and I am looking for mentors. meetings in the Bay Area during mid-July and financial backers to help me spread a message of light, love, and the basic flow of being a human that happens when we can live in a world that is setup for all life to flourish.
What is a Personal Wellbeing Narrative?
My niche is helping unwell people create a coherent narrative so that they can communicate precisely with medical practitioners of all sorts. I firmly believe that unresolved trauma, especially in people who haven't realized they were traumatized, creates a rift in the bodymind that produces a tendency to manifest certain diseases in reliable patterns until the suppressed trauma is resolved.
1st Things 1st ~ Optimize Your Oxygen Intake
“How much air should we breathe for optimum health? Wouldn’t it be fair to surmise that air, even more important than food or water for human survival, must also meet basic requirements?
The quantity of the air you breathe has the potential to transform everything you thought you knew about your body, your health, and your performance. What if healthy breathing habits were just as important as healthy eating habits in fostering maximum fitness - or, in fact, even more so?”
The Downward Search for Nuance
Looking down on it, as I so often do, the room seems alive. A bit dark, but that's only because the man who lives there has went out to get dinner and has shut all the windows and doors, save mine, so as to guard against burglary. Normally it is so vibrant. Maybe that is why my mind resides there. I can find the vitality and freedom that is lacking in my actual surroundings. And even though I do nothing but gaze down into that window during the evenings, I feel as though I lived there for years.
The Reality of Virtual Relationships
The world of social media is allowing us, as a species, to communicate in a manner closer to pure consciousness than we have had the chance to in our recorded human history.
Let's face it. Bodies are complicated. We all have physical needs, wants, quirks, and awkwardness. It takes a lot of trial and error to bond with a person when bodies also have to be sorted.
But when we get online and we type, is it not the case that much of that body overhead can be put aside? It is for me.
Mourning Broccoli
In a moment of sheer genius or intuition. I plopped that huge broccoli stalk down in front of her. Assuming I'd pick it up, untouched, after my dinner.
She immediately started sniffing it. Then she started eating it. My dog LOVES broccoli. Raw broccoli. Preferably the stalks. She will get around to eating the florets, eventually. But she starts at the hard, dried out bottom of the stalk and works her way up. When she does get to the florets, it is a treat for me, because she starts shaking them apart like prey.
Deja écrit ~ How do you experience what you've already written?
deja écrit - the sensory experience of reading something you wrote yourself some time ago
I believe I am not alone in realizing the fact that I spend too much time fretting about what I am writing. I would like to encourage myself – and maybe you – to get on with it a bit more.
Beginner's Mind Thoughts on Mindfulness vs Meditation
" I practice mindfulness to learn to be present in my life and I practice meditation to step out of the bounds of my life and experience the wonderful awe of being alive and in possession of the miraculousness of consciousness."
Healing Sound
After a post of full frontal honesty, nothing clears the mind like clearing the mind. My journey with Tibetan Bowls started around a dozen years ago.
She loosened me up for around 10 minutes and then said I am going to place something on your back.
That something was the most profound healing tool I have yet encountered.
A Tibetan bowl.
No More Sweet Little Lies
By refusing to ever again tell myself sweet little lies, I step into the emotions of my present, in order to feel them and become free to chose to express my love for life and others with the unbounded joy I squashed as a child, who was taught that sort of exuberance just wasn't part of life.
A Deeply Felt Testimonial for Cyndi Wilkins
The simple act of caring for someone, their pain, listening to what they need to say, is not often part of the lives we live today.
When this capacity is bundled within someone with a talent for massage, therapeutic results skyrocket.
I urge everyone to consider surrendering to the powers of massage with Cyndi. You just may be joyously surprised at what else will unfurl in your life.
A Wrinkle in Time
This book was a very strong instigator of the way I have played the game of life. I am not afraid of inquiring about the mysteries surrounding our existence. I feel it a privilege to dwell in the uncertain and unknown. And I find it a gift to be able to bring just a sliver more clarity to the extent of what is truly possible, when we unleash our minds to travel each day, open to being WONDERSTRUCK!
Yes, Jo, there still is a library
This is just a quick peon to the place that houses books. I am so very proud to say that my very first ever job was in a library. I still feel lucky to have entered the world of a paycheck in a place that surrounded me with the tools of the trade of a philosopher and reader and now 30 day challenge writer.
Today I am content
The world will heal if we are all mindfully ensuring the proper expenditure of our energy.
In the midst of radical, life-enhancing, and yet quotidian changes, there is a masterful power in being present to a fleeting moment of contentment.
I am searching for a writer's retreat
A situation beyond the centers of grinding commutes. In a place with a different tempo. Where silence is surrounding. Conversations flow. And simple joy can unfold. Finding a place to breathe fresh salty air and be rejuvenated by access to water is my primary objective.
