There's a difference between being nice and being kind. One is reactive, the other often takes a lot of courage.

The full transcript of my response to the facebook commentor from Aug. 5 is available to paid subscribers.

But, why?!! you may ask/lament/complain. The bottom line is that paid subscriptions help me pay my bills so I can keep creating the words, music and videos you enjoy. So, paid subscribers are always going to get access to the extra goodies.

Think of it this way: For the entry level subscription ($8 per month) I’m pretty sure you’ll find something more nourishing and longer lasting than an upscale coffee drink or a pint of craft beer. Plus, I can (almost) guarantee my posts won’t add inches to your waistline.

No matter how you subscribe, thanks for doing so!

All is Love,

Kit

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the difference - the fine line - between self-awareness and self-absorption. And do we know where that line is in ourselves?

Thanks for watching!*

*As I continue to learn the ins and outs of Substack as my soon-to-be new One Mind Wednesday host, you’ll probably see some differences in where the OMW logo shows up on the page, or if it shows up! You’ll also see (at least this week) there are buttons on the right side of the video itself. Play around with ‘em and see what happens. ;-) . I value curiosity and the desire to keep learning new things. I’m glad you’re with me on that.

Hi Friends,

So...the adventures of life continue, eh?

I made a vow at the beginning of this year to keep up to date and informed about what goes on in the world but not let myself get caught up in what I see as the intentionally designed chaos and divisive rage baiting that spews from billionaire-owned media companies that profit from keeping us all at ea…

When was the last time you visited a library?

Today I stopped by the main branch of the library in my recently adopted city to get a library card.

When I moved to the area several months ago, one of the first things I did was get a library card in the community where I now live. I found out recently that this library is an independent one and not on the …

An ad came across my social media feed for an app that promises to help bridge the “gap” between “where you are and where you think you should be.” In other words, it promises to help people who know they’re intelligent, talented, full of creativity and great ideas but are unable to maintain focus or the motivation t…

When I logged into my Substack account this morning, I found myself heaving a humbled sigh when I realized I hadn’t published anything since the end of November.

My formerly all-powerful inner judge, jury and executioner started to pipe up with, “You’re not trying hard enough to do this writing and posting thing consistently…” but, curiously and gratef…

I’ve got a lotta gratitude every day for a lotta things, but being that this is a holiday about giving thanks, I’d like to express just a little of mine.

First and foremost, I want to thank you for who you are.

Thank you for not losing faith or hope (or at least not permanently). Thank you for choosing to tune out the noise and lean into love, kindness, h…

Look, I made a bouquet! (Yes, these are roses from the backyard)

At my former home in northwest lower Michigan (the “Mitten” part of the state) the previous owner was clearly an avid and accomplished gardener. Me, not so much. The most I did in the 8 years I owned that home was to religiously mow and trim the grass in summer (as all good Midwesterners do…

Last night, while scrolling through the offerings on a couple of different video streaming services, I came across an Academy Award-winning music documentary from 2013.

Twenty Feet from Stardom is a moving, deeply respectful, energetic, joyful and occasionally heartbreaking tribute to the passion, talent, and hard work of the A-list backup singers whose …

The 53rd annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is taking place this week here in New Mexico.

Today is the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 2025.

I wasn’t paying attention to any specific dates a few weeks ago when I managed to score a couple of “new patient” appointments for a primary care physician and oncologist in my new city/state. But the Universe/God/Spirit/Infinite Intelligence (you get the idea) loves well-timed humor and I w…
