From Volume 16, Issue 1: I’m taking the liberty of re-publishing and article that first appeared in May of 2019. It paints a picture of how things go when trust is not present. A line between a data point from May of 2019 and one from today I believe points in a disappointing direction. I pose the question “What can be done to enhance trust in our American culture today?” Build mass-flourishing?
From Volume 17, Issue 5: Archie Bunker was, for some of us, hysterically funny even though he was a bigot. Similarly, Blazing Saddles ripped through sacred social territory paying absolutely no attention to the rules of society of the day, still leaving us in stitches.
I’ve been reading about three sources of humor:
From Volume 16, Issue 1: While the concepts of love and hate are supposed opposites, yet mean what they mean to each of us, I’m thinking common ground is needed to reconcile the two and bring internal comfort. It may help us to understand why love and hate are two sides of the same coin, so to speak. Or why love and hate actually live along the same continuum.
From Volume 16, Issue 1: It takes two to tango! If “here we go again” describes conflicts with folks close to you, you can take charge of fixing that!
In the tapestry of our daily lives, we often find ourselves caught in the intricate weave of Knower/Judger-patterned behaviors. These behaviors, while providing comfort and familiarity, can also limit our growth and potential for change. Trigger-events and conversations tend to be the loom on which these patterns are woven, but they also offer a unique opportunity for us to break free from these cycles and embrace something different.
From Volume 15, Issue 9: Have you ever seen yourself? In my experience it doesn’t happen very often; but every once in a while I catch myself behaving in some embarrassing, or emotional, or offensive way.
From Volume 15, Issue 9:Sometimes when being approached by a prospective new project, I’m not sure the person I’m interviewing (or who’s interviewing me) sees or understands the difference between a coach or advisor. I’ll try to explain that here.
From Volume 12, Issue 3:When I sought out a standard definition of “clarity” or “clear,” I found synonyms like “coherent,” “intelligible,” “transparent,” and “pure.” Pretty understandable, right?
I suppose these synonyms work for a good general explanation of what clear means. But, I actually find them a little… unclear.
