Having kicked around this game of life for seven decades should mean I have lots of life experiences to use as ‘good advice’…you’d think. Not!
Not only am I no expert on anything, most of what I’ve ‘learned about life has no relevance anymore. We could have some lively discussions about what I’ve observed, however. Most of that isn’t truth and a lot of it has certainly touched my heart and soul, so it’s always a great ride!
I’ve raised 4 beautiful children, spent a couple marriages, am a grandpa of 9 and now, a great grandpa of 5.
My years have been a bucket list of things I’ve been involved with…..
…….highway and power dam construction, chemical manufacturing, experiencing positions of Supervisor, Technician, Human Resources Mgr.
I’ve been trained in communication, team development, and other personal development work.
I spent a year studying philosophy in the seminary.
The latest piece of work in which I’ve participated is an inquiry/retreat into discovering my passion and life gift. More later.
I have training in massage, shiatsu, qigong, Reiki, yoga and meditation.
I’ve taken lessons and soloed a small airplane, owned a sailboat, and played the athlete role for many years.
I love music, play keyboards, and keep fit with walking and lots of exercise. Wanting to express myself in the world requires stepping into the stream (Or is it stepping out!) but whichever, it works best with others who want to play! I love to get stuff started in my community.
Someone once said that the more diversified your experiences, the more valuable you are to your community. I certainly hope that continues to be my mantra. I have a long list!
Everything I write here comes from real life experiences as I walk this journey. There is no goal in it, except to un-conceal what it is my soul wants to express, and then to do that. That’s where real life blends into the wonder and the magic of all we try so hard to deny.
That’s what matters.
