What my work in end-of-life care and business research has made very clear is that all created things end. Life. Business. Everything...
I suggest we must face the inevitable - and particular the #Boomer generation who are retiring in life and business.

I made a 'wrapped' for parents.
You can multiply numbers per child.
What would you add?

When you begin to explore the Christian experience through lenses of differing theoretical frameworks, more possibilities for love and understanding open up.
In my latest pod episode I continue to do a deep dive into applying Ecological Systems Theory (EST) to religious experience. #podcast #faith

I just found out it is #internationalmensday. I didn't know it existed till now, sadly.
Anyway, I have written a bit on masculinity and on raising boys, over the years. Here is a blog I wrote on a phenomena called The Man Box.

Election reflections
"The question turns not on how to silence the ringing bells, but how to conduct this strange symphony of opposing melodies"

I have very encouraging PhD supervisors. But they didn't write this email.

I did.

Yep, a few months into my research candidature I started the practice of emailing myself backup versions of my thesis draft, along with encouraging emails to myself.

I CC supportive friends.

A quick look at my resume will indicate I identify as a Christian (I work part-time as an aged-care chaplain). I know many religious folk who hide church-related-work on their resume - aware they may be misunderstood or excluded from certain opportunities. Read: www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond...
