Sites to get Good News

2024/06/18

Good News Awakening Recently, a friend sent me to another place where I can find Good News. It is called Fix the News. I appreciate this site. I don’t listen to the regular news because it is too negative. (Remember the news motto is “if it bleeds, it leads!”) As a Reminder, here are the other Good News sites I have shared before, along with Fix the News. The Good News Network | https://goodnewsnetwork.org/why-good-news/ Greater Good Science Center | https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/… Read more »

Living in a Harmonious World

2024/02/09

Last December, John and I enjoyed a mini holiday in Quebec City. It’s an absolutely beautiful town. While there, we decided to explore the Museum of Civilization and saw two fascinating exhibits. One is concerned with ecology and the environment, and the other with Hip Hop music. I learned a tremendous amount from both, but the one I want to explore this month is the one on ecology – Our Time on Earth. The Barbican, an arts, learning, and conference… Read more »

Interestingly, our initial visits didn’t reveal its presence. I can’t help but feel that this tree, in its wisdom, guided us to this place without my husband or me seeing it. The… Read more »

2023/12/05

Welcome to December! This year is closing out with a bang! You can only guess what I’ve been up to from my November newsletter these past weeks. The three phases of transitioning – beginning, neutral, and ending — continue to influence me to relax more, knowing it’s all a process. This month, I planned to introduce many of you to Brian Swimme. The way he thinks — I find fascinating. In his autobiography Cosmogenesis, he remembers things from his past… Read more »

Transitions and the 3-phases

2023/11/09

Welcome to November! This month I thought the topic “transitions” would be interesting to discuss. We all go through changes in our lives. They can be stressful, life changing, and scary. They can cause anxieties, sleeplessness, and more. They can also be fun and exhilarating. It seems to me that, somehow in life, the only thing that is constant is change. William Bridges (1933–2013), an authority on change and transition, describes transition as… “…the inner psychological process that people go… Read more »
