Balancing Global with Local When I was an undergrad at UC Davis in California, I spent a lot of time on the American river walking, birdwatching, identifying plants, and searching for the meaning of “sense of place.” I struggled, and still do, with the the borderland place we humans live in between this natural world […]

Ah, the Endless Search for Easier to Digest How-to Info Sometimes I feel like every new thing I want to be able to do takes a huge amount of study or familiarizing before I can get to the good part.

Happy New Year! How are you bringing in the new year? I’m hanging out in a hotel room in Ashland, Oregon on my way home from almost two weeks in Castro Valley, California visiting my partner’s family. On the road, I am. I’m imagining this coming year to be a pattern-breaking journey of ever-deepening self-discovery. […]

There’s nothing like time in Remembrance to temper a hot deadline! This week we’ve been pushing hard to complete our Heart of Business home study course. You know, one of those weeks where Monday and Friday look like two sides of a smashed Wonder Bread sandwich. Where did the middle go? I have to admit, […]

All you need is love, bah, bah, bah, da, bum. All you need is love, love . . . Love is all you need . . . Yeh, but from where, for why, and how to makes such a huge difference in the way it plays. The Beatles just landed in my brain for some […]

Everywhere I Look These Days, People are Raking Fallen Leaves Golden, yellow, red, and orange flakes of shed purpose. Only to be shuffled, piled, and moved to perform another. I couldn’t help but think of our businesses as we move from one stage of growth to another, from one system, one offer, one client to […]

There’s a farm just outside Portland on Sauvie’s Island that grows many acres of corn each year. After harvest in the fall, they create a huge maze in the corn field. They give you a sheet of paper with questions that lead to clues as the only map for getting through it. It’s great fun, […]
