Tapping into the Power of Love

February is often referred to as “love month” so we’d like to offer a perspective on the power of love.  When we give loving attention to another… another human being, a pet, a project, a cause, or a nation… we are in the process of exercising our greatest power. Try it right now. Take a […]

Is It Time for Gifts Yet?

Here we are at the beginning of a holiday season like no other.  Wrapped in a pandemic, uncovering the gifts of this season will require a bit of effort, but will also offer opportunity!  In the true spirit of Wonder and Possibility, we invite you to approach the weeks ahead with curiosity. If the holidays can’t […]

Is There an Upside?

The long and winding road offered in our last blog appears to continue with no real end in sight, but as we travel this road together, we promised to offer some suggestions for finding opportunities and gifts along the way.  A good starting point involves reframing this pandemic experience. We recognize that each of us has our own unique situations that influence our […]

The Long and Winding Road

It’s been quite a while since you heard from us, but we’re eager to reconnect and see how everyone is faring.  Most of us did not imagine that the Giant Pause would go into Acts 2 and 3, but here we are. Now, in addition to COVID, we have social unrest, political madness, and natural […]

After the Pause, Embracing the New Normal

How are you doing?  As recent restrictions are gradually lifting are you feeling some release, some relief, perhaps even some joy?  What’s happening in your world?  How are you adjusting?  We really love hearing from you, so take a moment to drop us a quick note and share your story! It seems we’re hearing a collective SIGHhhhh […]

Grateful in the Midst of the Giant Pause?

In the words of beloved singer/songwriter, Joni Mitchell:  “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.”  Those words couldn’t be more true today! As our routines have been altered and our freedom to move about has been limited, we have been given the chance to discern what really matters to us and why. We’ve been wondering… is it possible to […]

Embracing the Giant Pause IV

While flowers are starting to bloom along with budding trees, many of us continue to be confined to shelter in place restrictions.  There is still of a sense of pause, when we consider how to proceed with work, family routines or connections in our outside world.  For some areas, getting back to the “new normal” with places starting to reopen requires […]

Embracing the Giant Pause III

Hello Wonder and Possibility Friends, Yes, in most places it’s another week of staying at home. It seems we are slowly establishing a new normal, but knowing this is only temporary helps us to hang in there.  We hope you are embracing the pause with many forms of self-care and to that end, we’re happy to bring you some […]

Embracing the Giant Pause II

In the spirit of thriving during these trying times, last week we shared with you a variety of resources on our website and FaceBook pages to help tend to your body, mind and spirit.  We also included a dose of humor and some ideas from a fellow sojourner.  We hope they were helpful! As promised, […]

Embracing the Giant Pause

Hello Wonder and Possibility Friends, What curious times we’re living in!  When our world is turned upside down, it’s hard to know how to make sense of it, what to think, where to focus.  Our new normal is disorienting, at times even distressing, but we believe that in the midst of all this change there […]
