ATON

 ATON is an acronym that means "Aid to Navigation." That is what this site is - an Aid to Navigating Life's Rhythms. Why Life's Rhythms? Because Life is eb and flow, up and down, good days and bad days, sunshine and storms. We need to know how to navigate all of it. Some of it is easier than others, but it doesn't have to be sink or swim. Sometimes it is just about floating, treading water, breathing, observing, or staying put until there is a clear direction. 

Lighthouses are intended to be reference points for ships out at sea. A lighthouse is an Aid to Navigation. It is not the only aid, but it is an aid. So this site, like a lighthouse, is intended to be one aid among many, a vessel of light to help you along life's journeys.  

For a brief period during the global pandemic, the world was quiet. It hit a reset button, and many of us are learning new ways to navigate what feels like a similar world but does not always behave like a familiar world. There are, however, certain aspects of our world that are always consistent - like gravity. I believe that knowing the foundational never changing principles of this world - like gravity - will help us navigate this paradigm shift. These principles are like the light in the darkness, the lighthouse in a storm, that can help us steer clear of danger - if we choose to observe the light. It is always a choice, but choice without knowledge is devastating. Babies learn about gravity by falling as they learn to walk. I am only sharing what I have learned while I learned to walk. We can always learn from our own mistakes, but it is wisdom to also learn from other's mistakes. Have fun:)
