An adventure reveals something about yourself, to yourself. Even if the day is structured around work, childcare, or eldercare, the adventure is in how we relate, how we move and speak, and what we choose to attend to from one moment to the next. One part of getting older is that I can appreciate the…
I Never Knew a Seed I Didn’t Like
"Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout." -Morihei Ueshiba As we crawl with bated breath out of the desolate winter landscape and into the sunny and syrupy relief of spring, consider checking out our fabulous Seed Library that runs through the end of April (or until seeds run out!). We have a…
Part I: Writing For Its Own Sake
Imperfection Journal writing since I was a beanpole of a pre-teen gave me a way to say the most horrible and ridiculous things at that tart age. At 24 my journal entries revealed a messiness, at 34 there was still messiness but a glimmer of clarity, and now, well I can say that the boat…
Tell Me Why Chips Aren’t a Meal
Just kidding. I know exactly why they aren't: because there is pitiful nutritional value. As I round the end of my fourth decade on this good green-and-blue earth, I consider my relationship to food.

LPLks.org Resources Understand what's "under the hood" and maybe even attempt to fix that loud-clanging that you currently ignore by turning up the music (sounds oddly specific, right?): Auto Repair Source. Discover…
Emotion Maps and Mental Health Resources
Atlas: a collection of maps. It grants the viewer a representation of surrounding terrain, informing decisions and supporting a person's confidence to act. (This last part is my definition.) Brene Brown's Atlas of the Heart appeared overly ambitious. Although her previous work is impressive and hugely popular, how could she possibly find a way to…

Kansas No State Constitutional Right to Abortion
Currently, this amendment would alter the Kansas Constitution by removing the legal right to abortion. Simply
It’s Your Truth
Once you really understand something to be true, there is no placing the butterfly back in its cocoon, or cat in the bag, or potato in the potato can (now you have a sense of my dietary preferences). The more time I spend on this precious green and blue sphere, the less the compulsion to question…
