Hello TSJ Peeps, For many of you this is a happy time of year. A happy time that is mixed with sadness. There are those good byes to the teachers your children love, the bitter/sweet tears of seeing your oldest graduate from high school or college etc. On the flip side, it is also tough for …
Hello TSJ Peeps! Solomon (our Big Mind) and I have been in a frustrating dialogue. My problem? So many things to share. Solomon’s concern? The usual. That you receive one thing of soulful value for you to reflect on. Sigh. It is so hard for us to allow “the one thing needed” for this moment in …
Hello TSJ Peeps! What does the word “father” mean to you? Since this Sunday will be Father’s Day, it is a good time to reflect on the men who father us – whether they be our personal father or a special father-figure to us. Fathers, like mothers, are human. And Father’s Day is a day to …
Good Morning TSJ Peeps! It is Wednesday! I am on the deck as I write this (with my helpers, Solomon and SJ) and SJ wanted me to take a picture and post it. He is fascinated with media pictures. Solomon – not so much. It is never his desire to be in the media spotlight. …

Hello TSJ peeps! Happy WW day! “Sir Solomon” and little SJ are in their WW spots. Yes, Tom remembered today is their day to get some attention and to remind us all to live wisely and playfully as much as possible. Especially on Mother’s Day weekend! Since today is my mother’s birthday and Sunday …
Hi TSJ Peeps! It is time for our WW. For new readers, I wish to remind you that my aim is to take everyday events and use them as object lessons or analogies for the less visible and often overlooked ways of seeing with our hearts. Solomon and Solomon Jr. help me keep it earthy …
Dear TSJ Peeps,t I am wondering . . . Have you ever had a very bad day or gone through a very bad time in your life that surely seemed to make no sense (at the time anyway)? Of course you have. And it may not even have been personal to you, but it could …
Hello TSJ Peeps! I know many of you who are teachers and married to teachers are on vacation this week. May it be a time of peace and harmony wherever you are and may it restore your souls! Here at TSJ, we are getting caught up on “stuff” as Tom is on vacation. He is …
