EMPATHY HAPPENS, EVENTUALLY

The man in the tap house said, “Empathy happens,” and he reminded me of how important it is to stop in for a beer when the occasion calls. I’ve known him for years, just not the way my wife knows people. She’s knows people like no one I know, so she asks questions that she […]

OREGON EMPATHY IN THE WILD WEST

Oregon empathy is all we’re asking for from our border states and beyond. Try and feel what it’s like to be in our shoes. We’re trying to stand up to the harsh words and divisive actions aimed directly at our way of life, but for how long? How many more pumpkins must go to rot […]

HOME COOKING THE OLD FASHIONED WAY: BRINED TURKEY

Home cooking sounds like a memory. Who doesn’t have dreams of past food? Ma’s mashed potatoes; Grandma’s gravy. Maybe it’s time to move those memories up a notch with a brined turkey?

EMPATHY FEELINGS? LET ‘EM OUT

The first time I wrote out ’empathy feelings’, spell check went to ’empty feelings.’ Empty feelings might be a better key word, just not the one I’m looking for. But I got an empty feeling scrolling through twitter, through yahoo news, and every other post was red hat related. Honest blogger that I am, it […]

DEDICATION, DEVOTION, WRITING A BLANK SCREEN ALIVE

BoomerPdx spam is very encouraging with kudos for dedication, devotion, and persistence. Persistence, not pestilence. For the most part I work to promote persistence in whatever field you find yourself in. You didn’t get there by accident. It may have started from an accident, or happenstance, but once you settle in, keep going.

COMPLAINING COMPLAINER EXPLAINED

How does a complaining complainer solve problems? First they complain. Then they complain some more. To wrap things up they add a little more complaining. There you go, problem solved. Or is it?

LIVING LIFE TO DIE? THANKS RILKE

This is the guy living life past my bathroom window in Cannon Beach, Oregon. A man playing slide guitar in a slick suit felt like a Coen brothers break from reality. Since I like listening to slide guitar, I also saw him as an omen for good things in the future. That’s how that works. […]

OVER EMPATHETIC? YOU MIGHT BE A BOOMER, OR BOOMER RAISED

Empathetic, or over empathetic? Save the whales, or save the oceans? Boomers raised their kids with more awareness than any generation before or since. At least that’s what the narcissists in the group claim. They alone have persevered through the murky swamp we all sprang from Boomers build this world by themselves? Or, boomers are […]

EMPATHY SUPERPOWER: THE NURSING TOOL KIT

I know empathy superpower when I see it. Why? Because I’ve felt it. I had a headache when my brother got hit with a bat. If I could have, I would have donated my knees to Joe Namath for playing football in white shoes and long hair. I feel things with people and let it […]

HUMAN CONNECTIONS YOU SHOULD NOT IGNORE

Human connections are the ties that bind us together. Whether we like it or not, we can’t look away from others like they don’t matter. At the same time, it takes an effort to realize what caring means. Why would anyone care about strangers in a strange land? If you find yourself confused by the […]
