New Video! Today, I am looking at loneliness and how this relates to Quakerism.
Being by yourself is completely fine, but there are people who are seeking connection and don't know where to look. Could a Quaker meeting be an answer or not?

To Sir W. Pen’s (though much against my will, for I cannot bear him, but only to keep him from complaint to others that I do not see him) to see how he do, and find him pretty well, and ready to go abroad again.

George Fox died on this day in 1691 at the age of 66. We know him as a brilliant preacher, networker, and a fan of good hats. We should also remember him for his incredible immune system because I’m honestly not sure how he survived prisons or transatlantic travel!

Thank you, Rhiannon for all you do! 💙
In 2025, I got a new job, had a book out, celebrated my wife's graduation & new job, did The Artist's Way, read at poetry open mic, did 7 Pause for Thoughts, worked on a not-yet-done project, got on a waiting list for autism assessment, & recommitted to being a feeling, creative, passionate person.
