August
For Pondering: August is taken from a Latin word meaning: noble and majestic. What/who comes to your mind when you hear the words noble and majestic?

Floating
For Pondering To simply float about....eyes closed...laying back...completely relaxed...Aaaaaahhhhhh. That could be you this week, right now in fact, even if you don't have a pool. Simply close your eyes and let your imagination take you there. Aaaaaahhhhhh!

Independence
For Pondering: As we celebrate our Independence Day, we celebrate the high price of sacrifice that earned it. And we recognize the necessity of living in a world of interdependence, and the high price of ignoring it.

Memorial Day
For Pondering: One of the great archetypes of mythology is the Warrior. The Warrior defends the boundaries, stands up for what is right, and is willing to risk their life for the common good. What boundaries will the Warrior in you be willing to defend this Memorial...

Solitude
For Pondering: This week may you find the solitude that is generative, the solitude where you discover you are not alone.

Resistance
