  2. The Existential Shift

    DEC 21

    The Existential Shift

    Sometimes I give a conditional "yes" to life, based on circumstances. The existential shift is to START with "yes" and go from there. The story of my life is no longer the foundation of my life. It becomes an expression of it. The difference may sound subtle but it makes a night-and-day change. To find out more about the Facing Up Club, go to facingup.club.

    Find the Meaning IN Your Life

    Thoughts from the Trail

    If you want to try something NEW, you gotta let go of the OLD. For years, I have made my backpacking more difficult than it needed to be. All because I stubbornly clung to "the way I used to do it." Maybe you need to let go of something to in order to enter the fulness of life.

    Thought from the Senior Center about Death

    In my day job, I direct a Senior Center. I love the job. It gives me the opportunity to think deeply about life's greatest chapter. I also have the privilege of seeing some great examples. Here is a reflection I wrote for the St. Helena Star, the St. Helena town newspaper. To find out more about the Facing Up Club, go to facingup.club.
