When I turned 70, my daughter Rebecca, said, “Dad, you should stop writing books and start a blog.” Since, I highly value her perspective, I replied, “Good idea.” Now, as I have turned 80, I can look back on the 399 essays I posted on this blog during that decade and review the topics addressed. I decided to organize all of them into an accessible format and to use the alphabet as the organizing construct, simply because it made for easy filing. I could have categorized the posts by the major themes of my writing, e.g. leadership, culture, consciousness, wellness, etc., but I decided this format would make it easy for a reader to quickly skim through the topics and choose whatever may strike them in the moment.
My primary purpose for doing all this writing and compiling was to leave behind a source of inquiry for Annie and Ezra, my two grandchildren, who were 2 when I started writing and are 13 now. I thought at some point in their lives they may want to know more about the thoughts and feelings of the people who loved them, cared for them and influenced them in their formative years. I also tried to write the posts to address timeless issues so the blog would have enduring value. I admit to getting seduced occasionally by the timely trauma we witness in our everyday lives.
One of the most satisfying aspects of this ten + year project has been working with my younger daughter, Emily, on every one of the posts. Emily not only provided expert editing skills, but also an artistic sensibility that captures the ideas graphically at an even deeper level than I was able to express in writing. Language has its limits. Art knows no boundaries. Emily not only created the blog, she managed the site and attended to any technical issues that arose. I feel so grateful for the beauty she brought to each post and for our bonding through the process – she touched my heart with her diligence, creativity, love and support.
I also want to acknowledge the contribution my “advisory board” played in this effort. Before I published each post, I would send it out to valued friends for comments and suggestions. Their on-going support gave me the emotional boost I needed to keep writing. Since the blog was intended to invite meaningful conversations, the comments from my friends helped me to dig a little deeper on each issue and to challenge my thinking. In particular, I want to thank Dr. Ron Irwin who commented on almost post over the ten years I wrote them. That extraordinary commitment helped me keep going. My whole “board” contributed significantly in their unique ways.
Finally, Bobbitt (my wife of 55 years) and Rebecca played major roles in this project. Bobbitt always received the first draft and cautioned me not to go too far with my language. She reined in any reckless rhetoric I may have been spewing. Rebecca, whom I trust completely, received the second draft and made sure I was not tripping any cultural landmines and suggested ways to improve each post.
As I enter my ninth decade, I don’t intend to add much to this collection of work. My only hope is that readers will find some value in reviewing the perspectives and possibilities that I provided over the last decade. Here they are from A to Z.
