Hello TSJ Peeps! Do you remember what you read and hear? Do you remember what you see? What stays with you most vividly? For most of us, our best learning uses both our auditory and our visual modalities. They go together like yin and yang or peas and carrots or ice cream and hot fudge …

Greetings TSJ Peeps! Many of us are not only experiencing the fatigue of a long, hard winter, but are also in the season of Lent, a time of intentional reflection about life, love, death and new life. For Christians it is a time to celebrate resurrection, the ultimate victory of immortal life over mortal death. So Solomon and …
Good Morning Dear TSJ Faithful Peeps! You know how “they” always tell you to take it one day at a time when you are in difficult times? Well, I think that is simply good advice for every day. And SJ told me that is what Solomon taught them while they waited for me to come home. …

Good Morning TSJ Peeps! I am delighted to welcome aboard new Wednesday Wisdom readers! Today’s theme is about feeling lost. Have you ever been lost? Truthfully, I am seriously directionally impaired, get lost a lot, and could get lost in a paper bag. On many occasions I would call Tom and somehow he always figured …
Good Morning, TSJ Peeps! At least I am starting this in the morning and may have to finish it later. But I am thinking about our TSJ community daily. This will be a bit longer because I am offering a personal update as well as our Soap Lesson (story). Update on SJ and Solomon. If …
Dear TSJ Peeps, “The Boys” and I came back from a sorely needed post funeral and post holiday week of recuperation with family in New Jersey filled with love and care and some necessary sleep.
