Here we are, nearly a month into a new year after 12 months of unprecedented change, crisis, and the unexpected. Yet 2020 also brought new priorities, deeper connections and compassion, and initiation of changes long overdue. 2021 will be a year of more change and will have its challenges, yet 2020 has...

Hello Nugl family, I have a new year’s message ready to post but felt it was essential to postpone and address current events. This post isn’t about politics, drama, or who is right or wrong. It is about people because all of this ultimately IS about people.  Let me offer some...

 Here we are, the week of the most contentious election during the most challenging year we have experienced as a collective. Calling it is intense is an understatement!  Even if you don’t follow politics or even vote, the tension is palpable and permeating virtually everything. The fact that...

There is so much us/them good vs evil talk flying around. Have you noticed? It’s hard to escape or ignore. This sort of dogma is limited in its thinking, arrogant and divisive.  Those who subscribe to this mindset believe that “we” are right and “they” are wrong.  So, who is right?...
