Thursday, September 27, 2022 was an labyrinth adventure day for me, and my third and final stop of the day was at Country Homes Christian Church, located at 8415 N Wall St in Spokane, WA 99208. I was pleasantly surprised to see a man ahead of me walking to the labyrinth. He wasn’t there very…
Tuesday, September 27, 2022 Wyakin Park was my second (semi) successful labyrinth walk of the day. It is located in a wooded nature area near 6701 N Assembly St. in Spokane, and was created by Friends of Wyakin Park. I arrived in mid-afternoon, around 3:15 pm. and I have to confess that it was less…
As much as we tout the virtues of honesty, it can be a double-edged sword. Many of us remember what it is like to be on the receiving end of backlash for telling the truth- hence the phrase “Don’t kill the messenger!” 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? – Galatians…
February 11 – February 17, 2024 Last week flew by, and it’s crazy to believe I have just over a week left in Edmonton. By now, you’ve noticed that every travelogue update isn’t full of daring adventures; there are ample examples of the small moments and experiences that make up my day. But it’s…
I’m departing from the format of my previous Therapy Thursday posts. In past TT posts, I shared some of the lessons I learned in therapy sessions with my awesome (former) therapist Ken. Sessions were full of unbiased perspective, thoughtful lessons in humility, and reminders of the importance of grace- for myself and others. All those…
Labyrinth location: The Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist; 127 East 12th, Spokane, Washington 99202 Date: September 27, 2022 around 2:20 p.m. This is my third attempt at a labyrinth walk today. The first one at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in 9 miles Falls, WA did not exist (I couldn’t even locate…
February 4 – February 10, 2024 February 2024. And another travel adventure for me…. It has, after all, been seven full weeks for me in one place. So here I go- from Tulsa, OK to Denver, CO and now I am off again… Sunday, February 4th Image by CryptoSkylark from Pixabay Today concludes our immersive Splankna…
Today’s Therapy Thursday post is a departure from previous style posts. It doesn’t have the wisdom of Ken (my former therapist). Instead, I want to begin examining all the advice, counsel and guidance that is available to us in the world of self-help books. Did you know that over ten MILLION self-help books are purchased every…
I’m always disappointed when a church provides no information on their website about their labyrinth, its purpose or how to utilize it. Unfortunately, most of the labyrinths I have visited at churches have little or no signage or information about them. All Saints Episcopal Church, located at 1322 Kimball Ave, Richland, WA 99354, gets a…
For the last few weeks, I’ve had this recurrent theme regarding Identity bouncing around in my head. Of course, thinking about identity leads me to thinking about self-worth because the two go hand in hand. Our self-worth is determined by our identity, and we tend to base our identity on: our jobs/career, our relationships (partner/spouse,…
“I really like Matthew 5:16,” said Andrew, in response to my query about what my next Faith Focus should be. (This conversation happened back in December 2021, but hey, all good things in time, right?!) I quickly typed it into google to pull up the scripture. 16 In the same way, let your light shine…
A few hours after my walk in Gresham, Oregon, I found myself stopping in The Dalles, Oregon. The Dalles, which is located on the shores of the Columbia River near the Deschutes River, has a labyrinth at Mid Columbia Health Center. If I remember reading about this correctly, the labyrinth doubles as the hospital’s helipad…
