The Anarchists on HBO and The Deep End on Hulu
Sometimes shows can capture what life is like living in a forming community. HBO has a documentary called The Anarchists about a group of, you guessed it, anarchists organizing a conference and living in Acapulco, Mexico. This show demonstrates exactly … Continue reading
Real humans
I saw the above quote yesterday on Facebook. I cant’ stop thinking about it. If 98% of a cohousing community ignores you what does that say about them? I tried talking to each person about what happened and my choices … Continue reading
The C word
I’ve been traveling a lot the past few months. I’ve seen old friends and made new ones. I met up with a friend, Claire, who visited me a few years ago. She had remembered, but I had forgotten, that we … Continue reading
Sweet Privacy
I have some next door neighbors that love privacy. One is super shy so I respect his need for space. We’ve had a few short conversations and I know that he prefers to be alone (doesn’t even come to the … Continue reading

One of my pet peeves is when people in cohousing call it a family. It isn’t but if you want to go there you have to be honest. There are all types of families. Some are the Brady Bunch and … Continue reading

Sexual Abuse and Cohousing and Intentional Communities
“There is always sexual abuse in Intentional Communities” One of my former neighbors casually said that repeating what a friend who had grown up in an IC had told him. My thought was, “Hell No. Not on my watch. And … Continue reading
The Slap and Cohousing
I wrote this months ago way before the Slap that was heard around the world at the Oscars 2022. The Slap is a novel and it was made into a TV series in it’s homeland of Australian and then into … Continue reading
Tiger King, Elizabeth Holmes (The Drop Out), Narcissists and Me
I’ve been obsessed about narcissists recently – I wonder why? But they do come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve heard that we are all a bit narcissistic but some take it way over the edge. I feel like our … Continue reading
