Necessary Losses, Necessary Humor... This week has presented all manner of choices in my world....mostly on the perspectives I might best adapt. We make plans, reach out, pull inside, rally a bit, rage perhaps, break down, stand up, smile, meet, call, sit, watch, dream, fall back, write, write, write, write....sleep, imagine, engage fantasy, move forward [...]
When we forget....there is just no simpler way to put it. Forget or perhaps revert....to old ways that just don't work anymore. It's like getting stuck in the gutter lane when bowling....you're cruising along just fine and then suddenly your tire hits the berm, and oooooh, you lean to the left hoping it won't get [...]
As I continue on this road of self discovery, really, discerning who I do and don't want hanging out in my ether space, I am at the same time cultivating a style for which to screen, negotiate and honor my sensibilities. I've always not only done my best to 'play fair' I have from time [...]
"No one can go back and make a brand new start, my friend, but anyone can start from here and make a brand new end." - Dan Zadra And while we're at it.... "Resentment is one burden that is incompatible with your success. Always be the first to forgive; and forgive yourself first [...]
Money was raised, and glasses too, at the Jeanette Rankin High Hat Tea. A sunny day in Athens with hope of more deserving women being awarded seed money to advance their educations! Lovely really. And oooh....me, well, First Place Winner for the Most Creative Hat award with my 'The Many Faces of You!' hat!! (Frankly [...]
I'm seeing a pattern in things of late. One experience shining a light on another, then another and another.... ...which in turn shines a light on what I prefer, what I'll tolerate (or not) and, always, I'm finding, my desire to have events and people in my life fit somehow with me. But I'm finding [...]
I'm thinking this morning about the people who have come through my life, considering the possible 'soul contracts' we had way before coming to this particular time on earth. I'm considering the necessary losses we go through to tumble on top of each and every day. I'm thinking too of a book by Judith Viorst [...]
This week is a milestone week, for many reasons... I've known the tipping point was on its way...unsure in only impatient moments. But, a higher source noted its coming and I'm learning to trust that voice more and more. It's something when your mind, heart and spirit shift. It's like bursting from a cocoon! As [...]
I know the story in this short video. My friend April introduced me to her friend who performs one of the roles in this piece. A lovely heartful man. We all watched it together the other weekend. I get it. Sincerely, I do and I do and I do. I'd like to be one of [...]
I start my day off with a cup of fresh brewed coffee.....I love the smell, the taste, the heat, the ritual and how the pot makes that inviting gurgle sound I know so well, the memories it evokes...all summoning me to this magnificent pleasure. I'm picky about my beans, the 'cream' I use, that it's [...]
