Your Excellent Adventure

Thumbnail image for Your Excellent Adventure by Brooke Leigh Sheldon

A few weeks ago I was standing off to the side in a quiet airport. I overheard a man talking with his friend. He was recounting all the things he wanted to do “someday”. The list of items he noted was, in many ways, fairly typical of ideas that people have about improving the quality [...]

How Can I Help?

Thumbnail image for How Can I Help? by Brooke Leigh Sheldon

Humans are by nature a communal species. We tend to enjoy participation with others. This is not to say that we do not enjoy our alone time. It is simply that when we help or assist others we share an experience, which can be enriching for all concerned. I receive requests from people asking me [...]

The Photograph

Thumbnail image for The Photograph by Brooke Leigh Sheldon

This picture arrived in my email box the other day. When I saw it, I was struck by the emotions it conveyed. In writing this I thought about the numerous ways I could attempt to offer you the profundity I find in the photograph. However, each time I would look back at the shot, I [...]

What’s the square footage?

Thumbnail image for What’s the square footage? by Brooke Leigh Sheldon

The age of the McMansion has become passé. The overblown contest of house size, “Who’s is bigger?”, has found it’s new location in the circular file of public consciousness. Perhaps the time therefore has come to keep in mind that the size of the house matters least. What makes a house a home is not [...]

Give Yourself To Love

Give yourself to love. Never be afraid to love. Love the tender young, the wise old, animals (big and small). Love the tiniest of plants to the largest of trees. Love the air, earth, the water, the energy all around you. Love new acquaintances and lifelong friends, men, women, your ancestors, your children, your parents. [...]

When You Remember, You’ll Want To Remember

Thumbnail image for When You Remember, You’ll Want To Remember by Brooke Leigh Sheldon

Each year we have what seems, more and more, like only snippets of time to share with the ones who mean so much to us. Therefore, I am asking you to consider giving them the gift that matters more than the “latest” or “greatest” newly designated “whatever” that some Madison Avenue think tank is pushing [...]

The Open Prosthetic Project

This story is a Google search story, one used to help you understand the power of being able to search for what information you need or want in the moment. I happen to be an information and trivia junkie. So, when it comes to learning something new, I’m kinda like a kitten and knowledge is [...]

Reflections on Black Friday

Thumbnail image for Reflections on Black Friday by Brooke Leigh Sheldon

Yesterday I was reading an article about a Black Friday event. The piece was reporting on one of those incessantly advertised sales at a large retailer. You know the type, one of those scenes where people wait outside in line for hours, sometimes even days, to get whatever discounts the retail store tosses out as [...]
