I had a young man working in my organization not so long ago. A tall, good looking, sweet and capable young man. He was caught drinking Carl House alcohol on the job. I had to let him go. In letting him go, I offered that I would not abandon him, but rather walk alongside him [...]

Oh That Junction Where Creativity Meets Vision!

During my several moons of travail over the last several years....I have for about a year and a half envisioned a new website for my Carl House business. Sadly, I had not only NOT found the right person or business to help unfold the vision inside my head, I wasted money attempting to FIND that [...]

And so it goes…drip, drip, drip.

One drip of consciousness into the next....our slow awakenings. Mine come slowly and then periodically, in solid and sudden bursts. BOOM! We see. We hear. We know. We know, on NO uncertain terms we see ourselves, our path anew. And the awkwardness of ambivalence and compromise leaves. The choice to love oneself becomes stronger than [...]

I'm enamored (is that the correct word this morning) with the process of being human on this planet. Enamored isn't the best word, but it'll have to do for the moment. I felt a net lift from my myopic view of the world this week. Some things became crystal clear. And if not CRYSTAL clear, [...]

I woke this morning, oooooh, after a long and luxurious sleep, my favorite...to a kind, thoughtful, sweet and loving note from a new friend. It was so different from the sort of communiques I've received over the past many years....in many ways. I sat with it, considering the sort of person who might write such [...]

And then we die…

I've been thinking a good bit about death lately. Of course we're all GOING to die....I don't know anyone who ultimately won't or hasn't. Certainly there are folks who work ardently in defying it....working to look young, stay healthy....all that. Well, I certainly have a measure of vanity and would prefer being a good looking [...]

Twelve Years Ago Today…and then, Today.

2010-07-15T23:26:49-07:00By |People I Admire|

Twelve years ago my world flipped around, me like a cat in a dryer....a sturdy Maytag, adament on keeping me tumbling for some time.... Twelve years ago my mom died. Kathryn Royer Vogel Myers Banta Richards Richards Vogel, left the physical plain and I was catapulted into 'adulthood'. Feeling her soul leave her [...]
