Some individuals may not find the straight path to their potential. "Shift Forward" exists to stimulate shifts of thinking and action in such individuals. It offers meaningful perspectives, interesting angles on life and challenges, cool stuff, insights, inspiration, etc. Entries are drawn from books, experiences, Internet, articles, people, and intuition. This way of thinking may help anyone, but it is also especially geared to those for whom organization and maintaining attention requires extra effort. I theorize that if we view the challenges at the right angle, understand the realities with objectivity, and act on the possibilities with courage and spunk, something extraordinary will result. Please join me in an exchange of life-giving perspectives. I welcome your comments and ideas.

Ode to Norway

Across an ocean from the people who sail on fjords but now must embrace those who have lost child, husband, wife, father, or mother I weep. Tears fall and the ocean carries the salt my crying holds. I send a wave by current to the place where so cruel a face felt free wind and shot. His shots fired.

Imagining through life’s drizzle

A week of rain in May dampens my memory of sun and causes me to forget for a moment the pleasure of warmth. It is not now, so does it exist? Can I hold the ray in mind as wet falls on my back? Such is the gift we have as humans – that we [...]

Stepping into your shoes

What’s it like to walk half out of your shoes? Wobbly. You cannot stand tall. Your ankles are at risk for a serious twist. You may also feel tentative. Not sure. Not secure. And certainly not ready to run. When we step into our daily life, are we in our shoes? Are we in the [...]
