Just running a little test post.

Sitting outside on a blissfully cool morning in central Florida, reading, meditating, and drinking coffee; I’m not sure that life gets much better.

I’m so grateful.

This one kicked my butt. #challenge

I am beginning to learn that to love well demands a letting go of ego as much as it is an embracing of the other.

In so many ways, the former is way more difficult than the latter.

On Tuesday evenings I host a time of intentional conversation. I’d love for you to join me on Tuesday, March 14 at 8 pm.

It’s hard to believe that this was 16 years ago. But now, here we are. Both of these two little ones are grown and living their best lives. Ethan is spending his Spring Break playing baseball. Libby is spending hers on the beach with friends.

Amy and I are joyfully resting.

My favorite feature of the house we are staying at in FL may be the patio ceiling fan. This area is always shaded and this fan makes it so comfortable when you’re done with the sun.

Sitting outdoors and enjoying a cuppa, a good read, fresh air, and sunshine may be my favorite way to start a day. #goodlife #emptynest

I’m intrigued by indieweb rsvp. But, I’m missing how to create an event. Where does one do that?

I forgot yesterday’s #3goodthings!

So, #3goodthings for March 1, 2023:

  1. I cleared a pre-travel to do list
  2. I enjoyed time at my favorite coffee shop
  3. We had bowling league last night and it was a great time with good friends

A well deserved nitro cold brew with some heavy cream at my favorite coffee shop, Cafe Liv in Ypsilanti, MI.

Self-care includes doing things that make you feel tired and sore and gross.

My favorite discussion topic from last night’s Tap Room Tuesday conversation was, “Name three things that bring you joy.”

I would love to know yours!

Mine were:

  1. Being outside
  2. Being in an intellectual flow
  3. Helping others discover something new

#3GoodThings - February 28, 2023

  1. I got to drive with Amy to and from work today. It was quality time.

  2. I had three fantastic conversations (two with groups and one individual).

  3. I get to host a conversation tonight of intentional discussion.
