This week someone made some very harsh accusations against me via Facebook – I hate Facebook. I had known things were not so good between us for several months and since we were parting ways I wanted to send a note that gave a blessing for the future and an apology for whatever I did (I’m still not … [Read more...]
Reducing Problems
Two years ago I had to pull out the power tools because I needed to do some major repairs... unskilled worker with tools? This always turns out well... for other people who want to laugh at someone hurting themselves. The repairs were on my family’s tree house... no, we don’t live in a tree like in … [Read more...]

One of the best lessons I’ve ever learned is in the book The Spirituality of Imperfection.
