What's This?

Many posts address How to Live a Good Life (Ethics, Spirituality, Self-Care) and the practices that sustain the Good Life.

I draw from Positive Psychology, Stoicism, Wisdom Literature from many traditions (including pop culture), and life experience, mine and that of others I have observed.

I avoid platitudes. I prefer stories. Most people know the parables from the New Testament (regardless of religious background), e.g., prodigal son. Why? Because we feel a story's truth in our viscera, in the pit of our chests, while abstract statements rarely penetrate our skin.

I practice Gratitude formally (to me, the exercise of gratitude is as important as physical exercise). I'll share my gratitude experiences, and hope other bloggers will too.

I want to share technology with kindred spirits. I'll discuss new stuff that I'm using (or more likely, learning to use), e.g., podcasting.

WARNING: I'm fairly irreverent in the face of human folly, that of others, and my own. To me, death happens when laughter stops.

To help you navigate my blog, I'll post with labels like:

TechCheck
Good Life
Goofy Girl Goofing Off
Ah, the Children (parenting tidbits)

so you can cherry pick among the pearly bites.
