Still Love in Hard Times
There is idea that is attributed to the German bishop Nicholas of Cusa that goes like this: “The first thought that goes through your mind is what you have been conditioned to think. What you think next defines who you are.” It’s also basically the dual process theory of cognition, where we first make quick judgements […]

I used to be very good about setting intentions and goals on the first of the month and then seeing how many of them I accomplished. But then, I got too ambitious and eventually was getting to the point where I would only achieve half of the goals I set for myself. Life is funny […]
Trails and faith
I like to hike. And while I often revisit the familiar, I also like to explore places in my little swath of the Midwest that are new to me. But sometimes, the paths meander and I get lost, like we all do. I find I have to retrace my steps and find the correct trail. […]
