Wendy – Hey, Boomer I am putting down my Super Woman Cape. I actually put it down many years ago, when I was a single Mom and desperately trying to be everything to everyone. A good employee, a great mom, a good cook, an advocate for things I believed in, a fun person… Finally, I […]

This time, I have an interesting subject. I want to talk about Shadow! What is that? According to Carl Jung, we push all the traits we have, the desires we have that we judge as not positive, into the shadow. And there is also the shadow gold, the so called positive traits that we do […]

In the last article, I wrote about moving from competition to collaboration. In this one, I would like to talk about moving from mono-culture to appreciation of diversity. We have monoculture on many levels, be forestry or food production, but also culturally and with ethnicity. I remember as a teenager in Germany when an influx […]

Wendy – Hey, Boomer I agree with Anne Lamott.  “I don’t feel old, because your inside self doesn’t age.” Anne Lamott published a story in the Washington Post today titled, It’s not so ‘terribly strange to be 70.’ Turning 70 was an awakening and a reset for me. Interestingly, it was not as traumatic as […]

Wendy – Hey, Boomer In a recent Boomer Banter, community members engaged in a thought-provoking discussion on the First Agreement put forth by Don Miguel Ruiz in “The Four Agreements“: “Be impeccable with your word.” This profound notion inspired a lively conversation about the power of self-talk and the influence of words on our self-perception […]

Wendy – Hey, Boomer Back in March of this year, I wrote a blog and did a show about Taking a Pause. I was rereading that article and I thought it was pretty good. I also thought that there were parts of it where I wanted to go deeper. Steven Tyler from Aerosmith sings Amazing, […]

Wendy – Hey, Boomer Thankfully, I am not estranged from my children. But there is no doubt that my relationship with them has changed over time.
