collaborative
More and more this word has been coming up. When I observe couples talking together, it’s the thing you can point to that seems to be missing when they are at odds with each other. Where is the caring? Where is the working together, the collaboration? By that I mean trying to come up with something that feels good for everyone. Checking in with each other, and making sure everyone feels good about what they decide. Even attorneys have made a point to create a new breed of lawyer that practices “collaborative law.” It’s the alternative to “take ’em for all their worth” approaches to divorce.

Like everyone, I have different sides. Counselor, photographer, writer, cooker of food – both spicy and plain, and seeker of truth and happiness. I have always taken an interest in the unassuming things that pass us by – both heard and seen, both ordinary and not so ordinary. They are all sacred and beautiful in some way.
