[I wrote this article for the August 2016 issue of Hilton Head Monthly magazine.] Even those who believe that human activity is contributing to global warming and climate change do not want to ponder the likely ramifications of rising sea levels —intense flooding, shoreline erosion, and frequent and violent storms like hurricanes — because it is […]

In Defense of the Ego

I like the chakra system and think about it often. I know it’s not an exact science (heck, even science isn’t an exact science) and there are variations, yet I’ve come to understand an energetic system that makes sense to me based on what I’ve learned from others and what I’ve learned from myself through […]

During my second year of college (c. 1988) I deliberately did a very unkind thing to a stranger. One day as I was jogging I found a beautiful Banana Republic floral silk scarf on the sidewalk. Naturally, I picked it up and took it home delighting in my rare luck. A couple of days later […]

Bulls don’t […]

Putting Valued Principles into Daily Action

On November 8, 2015 I became a member of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Lowcountry (UUCL). I have been familiar with Unitarian Universalism (UU) since the 1990’s when I attended the Unitarian Universalist Church of Savannah as a regular guest. I moved away from Savannah, got divorced, got remarried, had a baby, started a […]

How Sentient Are You?

Well, shoot, if I knew what the word even meant I could tell you how sentient I am! I don’t even know how to pronounce it correctly: sen-tee-ent or sen-schent. That’s what I once declared and I still don’t know how to correctly pronounce the word. So I went researching… Sentient means: having the power […]
