I have all kinds of thoughts while I am driving. As long as I’m moving and not stuck in traffic I enjoy driving. I often have some of my best ideas while driving. Today as I was rounding the 42 curve I was imagining what my afternoon would look like after I got home and…
First Monday – What is Sandy Reading?

At other times I listen to audio-books and other recordings such as educational seminars and workshops. Lately I’ve been listening to Pema Chodron’s Comfortable with Uncertainty:…
