Author, lecturer and coach William Kenower inspired me with his interview on Episode 19 of Dante's Old South radio show hosted by Clifford Brooks. I wanted to know more.Kenower's website is packed with his articles and other resources for writers (and all human beings). Two of my favorite examples are an article he wrote for The New York Times blog and one of his posts for The Good Men Project. My Autistic Son's Lesson: No One Is Broken Using a practice called "joining," Kenower and his wife … [Read more...] about Curated Inspiration: William Kenower

Eating Well: What We Eat Becomes Us
If I shop at a large grocery store in suburban Atlanta on a Saturday morning, I see other women marching through the doors in a rainbow of spandex and other bright, body-hugging materials.

"And then we buy kale!" Exercise tones our bodies, but what we eat becomes us. The food we consume, including … [Read more...] about Eating Well: What We Eat Becomes Us
The Grace of an Exodus Experience
The longest journeys don't begin with "a single step." They start with a deep pain that's full of Grace. Without such pain, we can limp along for years in a situation that is not quite bad enough to force our departure. That's a soul-withering position, my friends.

The Feng Shui of Spiders
I don't like wasps, but I hate to see anything struggle. That's why I freed one from a cobweb on my porch, as a spider trotted across her tapestry with eight-legged delight. Watching the small red spider retreat to her usual spot in an upper corner, I felt more like a Big Jerk than a hero. The next day, I got a chance to set things right after an unseen bird dropped a grasshopper.

Vimeo or YouTube? Why I Chose Vimeo
The decision to launch my video channel on Vimeo was simple for me. Both Vimeo and YouTube have some unique advantages, I'd explained to a client whose needs are slightly different than my own. Based on your business or personal goals, your best choice might also be different than mine, and there are many options to consider. (You can even use Vimeo's video maker to create a video that you share directly to your social properties, including your YouTube channel. I build my videos using Animoto, … [Read more...] about Vimeo or YouTube? Why I Chose Vimeo
