Revisiting “two lives” with Ted Lasso

It is hard to not enjoy the wholesome goodness that is Ted Lasso. I could definitely do without the language, but I have enjoyed the storytelling and altruistic approach to life that Ted Lasso has. Late in the first season it humanized the main character in a way that let you know that while he … Continue reading Revisiting “two lives” with Ted Lasso

Wabi-Sabi

While reading a book about Ikigai, or the Japanese concept of our sense of purpose or reason for being, the end of the book brings a new term called “Wabi-Sabi” to me.   Wabi-Sabi can be explained as “wisdom in natural simplicity” or “flawed beauty.” This concept was introduced at the end of their book where … Continue reading Wabi-Sabi

70-20-10 | A pattern for self acceptance and growth

Who reads the Foreword to a book?  Not me, at least almost never.  I love to delve into Professional Development and Organizational Excellence.  There is something about learning a new concept, and then helping others put it into actions that keeps me coming back for more.  Because of that I found myself recently reading a … Continue reading 70-20-10 | A pattern for self acceptance and growth

Turning Red

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdKzUbAiswE In the middle of a movie that talks about a girl finding her place and owning her own truth I found connection in the way ABDLs search for acceptance and understanding with ourselves and those around us.  While no story or relationship can be completely apples to apples I feel there are some common … Continue reading Turning Red

Now what? – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 13

We did it!  We’ve made it through “You’re Not Broken” or you’ve at least made it through my hopefully coherent ramblings about self acceptance and growth as an Adult Baby Diaper Lover (or ABDL).   My question to both myself, and to you, is “where do we go from here?” What have you learned?  What have … Continue reading Now what? – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 13

Looking at it a little differently – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 11

It was interesting to read this chapter because I was not the target audience.  I had to change the lens in which I saw and consumed the information.  Perhaps this is appropriate because when I shared this part of myself with my wife early on I’m sure she had to do the same.  This is … Continue reading Looking at it a little differently – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 11

Not really a book review.. The Midnight Library – The choices we make

Audible recommended a book to me recently after finishing up Project Hail Mary with my kiddos called “The Midnight Library.”  It sounded interesting enough so I downloaded it and began giving it a listen.  It is a shorter book so I figured it would be fairly easy to get through, and not lose track of … Continue reading Not really a book review..

Working through uncomfortable growth – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 10

Laying the foundation is essential for success in most of our lives.   Want to be good at the piano?  How often have you practiced your scales, learned to read music, and given the effort necessary for success?   Want to be promoted?  Are you laying the foundation of recognized (and unrecognized) effort to build into the … Continue reading Working through uncomfortable growth – You’re Not Broken – Chapter 10
