John’s Garden by Peter Mayer - You Tube  It’s Halloween season (one of my favorites!) and with it comes….. pumpkins.  What do pumpkins have to do with  “Come to the Edge Today”?  Actually, everything.  Listen to this great song by Peter Mayer as he tells the wonderful story of pumpkins deciding who to “become” on Halloween.  Today’s [...]

“What’s This?” Tim Burton This year, I am going as “Jack the Pumpkin King” for Halloween.  Why?  Because I find his energy absolutely contagious! (and I’d like to be that tall for just one day!)  Below is my story and reflection of my “Come to the Edge Today” Halloween hero: A few years ago, my [...]

Why do 3 guys willingly lock themselves into dilapidated, dangerous and supposedly haunted buildings for 12 hours at a time with the intention of taunting and interacting with ghosts?  What causes Zak, Nick and Aaron of The Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures” to wander in pitch darkness (with the exception of the small video light) where paranormal [...]

We all have dreams – there is no disputing this. It’s a matter of whether we allow them to come to the surface and whether or not we act upon them. Following is an example of a realized dream from my “1,000-dreams-I-must-live-before-I-die” list: My dream is that I will be “out there” with who I [...]

Bobby McFerrin – Ave Maria Living “on the edge’ inevitably brings creative “leapers” together; it’s one of the many perks!  I love watching people interact and I love interacting with others.  Fellow “leapers” creating and inspiring just for the joy of it!  I am writing this at the local library and overheard a middle aged insurance salesman ask [...]

Today’s lunch began with typical lunch questions:  How much time do I have? What to eat?  Where to go?  Little did I know that this lunch would be a “Come to the Edge Today” lesson in how to live!   I decided on a salad (the default of choice) from the local grocery store; upon entering [...]

Some days are perfect ”movie days”, you know?  Some days, it just feels good (and fun) to watch other people “Come to the Edge” and it doesn’t matter whether they are “real” or “fictitious”!  I love diving into their world for awhile, observing how they handle a situation or watching them take their “leap’.                                                       Today is one of those [...]

Magic Beans by Peter Mayer****       (video by dvxbrian) Here at “Come to the Edge Today“, we know that hiding dreams in coat pockets is not how Your story goes (it’s not how my story goes either)!  Just as fairytales such as Jack and the Beanstalk convey bits of  wisdom, we know that our hearts hold vast quantities of priceless wisdom too.  [...]

What is it we want to experience as we live our lives, day-by-day?  What does life look like from our heart’s point of view?  What does “Come-To-The-Edge-Today” living look like?   What is its essence?    I could spend 500 words trying to describe it, but couldn’t do it justice; so, I decided to share with you the best expression I found that exemplifies the spirit [...]

I just came in from walking the dog – it is a perfect Fall evening.  The temperature is crisp, the sky is clear so I can see the stars; the smell of Fall is breathtaking!  I found myself stopping in the middle of the driveway and breathed deeply (about 10 times) intending to catch every smell I could [...]
