If you could have dinner with any philosopher, who would it be? This a question today took me back to college study days… I delved into Socrates, Aristotle, Wollstonecraft, and others. Philosophers think deeply, who systematically study the fundamental questions concerning existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Across history they were even persecuted and…

Fear and self-doubt can make us question our worth, our direction, and our ability to keep going. I am certain that at some point, we all find ourselves on the edge of these things and work to pull ourselves back. I believe that strength is often built in quiet ways, at least for me, it…

What’s a moment that made you question reality? To be honest, and I am that if nothing else… I seem to be having these moments daily for nigh on 10 years now. I would like the reality of life to be less offensive, less crazy, less insane… I would like reality to align with what…

I am no minimalist—at least not yet. But the older I get, the more I feel drawn to that kind of living. After my parents died, and after seeing firsthand the weight of too much stuff through my hoarder sister, I felt a new urgency to clean out, let go, and pass things on. It…

As a child of what I still believe to be “the best of times,” I grew up in a world untouched by screens, notifications, and digital distractions.
