We recently held a marketing class for Songbird practitioners with business coach Roberta Ryan. One of the things she discussed was the difference between a puzzle and a mystery. A puzzle has a fixed set of pieces and a clear solution when you assemble the […]
I was recently asked to speak about meditation to a group of students at one of the SSU dorms. Immediately my inner judge started telling me, “I can’t do that. I don’t like talking to large groups. Meditation isn’t my specialty. Nobody else from Songbird […]
I grew up on a street that was lined with plum trees. Unlike this year, where we have had so much sun, most of the winter would be rainy and overcast. Around this time, we would have a burst of sunshine, and the trees would […]

Last week I visited my family in San Diego. While there I started thinking about the different ways we can live our lives. My dad lives in a retirement community and eats dinner there. However, he has chosen to eat his other meals on his […]
Last year at this time I was in the middle of my seven-week retreat in Damanhur, Italy getting clarity on keeping Songbird open. I’d love to be able to go on another retreat like this, but this year I have been too busy to do […]
