Welcome!

With 50+ years of experiences initiated at times with serious consideration and at other times a substantial lack thereof, I’ve come to the simple realization that living a life well-lived is a rather good way of going about things once you’ve worked out what well-lived means to you.

This site is here to serve as a preservation of thoughts and observations for you to traverse and consider at your own pace. Think of the site map as a compass beginning in the north with the Self, which is inclusive of not only who I am or who you are, but the world in which we live and function. In the east is Agency, how we act with intention to shape our world. The south is the Journey, where we are going based on where we’ve been and where we desire to be. And, the west is Meaning, why we and what we do, matters.

Appreciating experiences and being grateful for what I have in my life are staples of my being. I am a high hope person with an enduring love of learning driven by my curiosity. I strive to be honest and humble.

I am a ‘Resilient Seeker.’ Walking, reading, writing, thinking creatively, and sharing my knowledge and experience with others is when I am most in my element.

In the early days of social media, I ran a ‘community website’ or ‘placeblog’ and was a part of the early ‘citizen-journalist’ movement. You can read all 3,249 posts about those days in my hometown of Nazareth, PA on NewsOverCoffee.
