Remaining Human In A Digital World || In Between The Stories

Hope this finds you in good spirits? Today I'll be solo-bolo for an 'In Between The Story'. We're going to talk a bit about the "feels" and the importance of not losing our humanness while navigating through this New Age of Intelligence. A topic that always seems to come up with me. So, hopefully moving forward we'll continue to build meaningful dialogues and explore ways to better live, and to be, embracing our individual experience. Something I've done for far too long is shut off, ignore and run from emotions. So much is taking us away from the moment, ourselves, and the experience of it all. To live, and to be is truly becoming a lost Art. Infrastructures have been set in place, specifically to hi-jack reality, and to skin our sovereignty and sense of self bare. And the digital space has only exaggerated this truth. Let's about talk reclaiming our own unique human experience. Share your own thoughts if anything hits home with you. I'd love to hear or read them. If you'd like to read the blog itself?

My Involuntary Journey with Multiple Sclerosis and Ocular Melanoma || Rachel

Real stories, told by real people. Happy New Years!! Hope all is well, It's good to be back with another sit down, we've got another Story to share. Today Rachel joins us, and she has a story to tell. "From a Kick in the Head to a Kick in the Ass" is the name of Rachel's memoir. Initially, it was only meant for her two boys. She raised her kids without telling them exactly what was going on with her health wise. From infusions to Ocular Melanoma diagnoses and therapy treatments, she kept her condition hidden from both her boys. This memoir was Rachel's way of giving her boys a peek behind the curtain. An explanation to those treatments, therapies, and, in her words "so they could see life wasn’t bad and, as a family, they made my life a lot easier to navigate." Listen to Rachel's optimism, and her refusal to "throw a pity party" , the joy and love she has for life, and for her family, and the resilient spirit which no diagnoses, disability or medical condition can choke out. I'm pleased to introduce another GIANTS AMONGST US. Hope you enjoy the conversation, and feel free to share some of your own thoughts on any of the platforms listed.

The Dangers Of A "No-Effort, No Pain" Doctrine || In Between The Stories

We're back!!! And it feels good, too. On this new installment of 'In Between The Stories' we'll talk a little bit about the "quick fix." And, it's great exchange that promises to give us something for NOTHING!! In his book The Art of Being, Erich Fromm outlines two modes of existence - having and being. The first, having, primarily possession-centered i.e. objects, status, desires; destructive or not. Is a life focused on consumption-we acquire, use up, discard, then repeat. And its complete opposite, being, is a mode which is more activity-centered (experience, feeling). As with love, reason or productive activity. It cannot be bought, collected or hoarded. One of the barriers when learning the art of being, writes Fromm, is the "no-effort, no pain" doctrine. From methods of education, with courses made to be as easy and pleasant as possible. Thus, studying too, should be felt as pleasant, and not forced. Where comes this idea of "effortless learning?" Fromm claims it's rooted in the advancements of Technology. Let's break bread!! Share some of your own thoughts on any of the platforms you can find us on. I'd love to hear from you.
