The Attitude of Play
The attitude of play = cultivating the possibility of delight in any moment! We're innately wired to play, then learn to postpone it: til recess, til the weekend, til the kids are grown. It becomes a habit to put it off, and it's easy to forget how to become present to creativity, beauty, awe, and silliness. It's essential for our well-being. As an artist, home remodeler, and gardener, there's lots of ways to talk about how I reconnect with the attitude of play, and I invite you to consider: what lights you up, how do you play?

Soul Laughter, with knee slaps and tears.
Well this was unexpected! I recorded this episode quite awhile back, and was gifted with a huge wave of Soul Laughter -- a rare unicorn of mirth that bubbles up from my very soul. Roll on the ground, knee-slapping, haw haw laughter. Better than...

Dreams, creating, and what the attitude of play really is.
Had a luscious dream that water was dripping in. Oh no! But the ceiling was different, so I knew it was a dream. Woke up and told someone about the leak, knowing it wasn't a problem, because it was a dream, then I woke up. It...
