#FindingTheRightWords turns 2 today. Here I am w/my co-author #Dr.BruceMiller, a #doctor whose #empathy, #knowledge, and #generosity knows no bounds. That my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's couldn't be changed, but writing the #memoir w/ Bruce changed me, helping to put that experience of profound fragmentation (my father's; mine) into something a little more whole. W/so much gratitude to Bruce and the many #neurologists working to #EndAlz always and esp. during #worldalzheimersmonth

3. Inability to #listen (14%)
4.Inability to engage with other #viewpoints (13%)
5. Attitudes or actions to #race (13%)

No News is Good News
So far I haven't heard any bad news about our stuff which is stored in the wildfire zone, so I'm going to assume that it hasn't been burned up. I don't think any major structures have been lost in that fire and the efforts at containment appear to be successful. The majority of the smoke coming from the area lately has been from the plan

If you have wealth, what do you do with it? Do you hoard it for your own use? Or are you generous in sharing with others who are in need? #Generosity

More of this rebellion, please. The corporate dollar isn’t threatened by giving “unsellable” food and expired products to folks in need. There’s always some “business reason” to throw things away, but that’s entirely apathetic. This is the way. Raise your fist and fight that shit. Leave the goods out. E someone who helps.

I want to be more open about spiritual life, even if it's a very personal thing. As a young man, I was reading and traveling, discovering myself. I feel I lost touched with that young man. I want to talk to him more and let him speak.

Jesus' parable of the shrewd manager teaches us to use our worldly wealth wisely. Invest it in generosity now. And reap the reward eternally. #Generosity
My first #Twitter handle wasn't my name, but was associated with a personal website of mine.
When being "MarkMcElroy" online became important to me, that handle had long been taken.
So I contacted that Mark McElroy and asked, one Mark McElroy to another, if I could have that Twitter handle.
This total stranger said, "Oh, yeah, sure!" and passed the handle on to me.
I'm still grateful for that #generosity and #kindness, which made leaving that identity and platform behind all the harder.
