I feel a bit green today, no, not something I ate, more as in Kermit the frog 'it's not EASY being green'). The Universe is doing its job of tossing me 'washing machine-like,' back and forth with my convictions and with humbling lessons begging me to take notice! Being human can be laughable and I [...]
I love to laugh. My mother and I could make each other laugh as big as anyone! She was just FUNNY. Her world view, despite a tremendous amount of adversity, was one where her glass was infinitely full, until it wasn't and then she left the planet. I hope to leave as swiftly if my [...]
I’m the first one to admit, I’m a flawed human being. With the passing of years, I know inside myself I am a good, loving and well meaning individual. I don’t dwell on the negative, though when I have a learning curve, I address it my way and in my time. This makes me not [...]
Let’s face it, relationships are where we learn the MOST about ourselves. My mother shared a four word phrase with me at a young age. ‘You might be right,’ has served me for decades. Having completed my 362 mile cycling trek from Pittsburgh to Washington D. C., I came away with more than stronger muscles [...]
....maybe I'm in need of a Cool Off at this point in my day. My dog Ernie woke me by jumping on my bed, (pretty much not allowed) at 5am. I remember seeing a small tick on my sheets the other evening after he did the same thing and POPPED out of bed this morning [...]
I'm wondering a bit at the time it takes to reinvent your world. A tad hard to determine in exact measure, but it certainly takes awhile. And for me, it sets any old routines a-kilter a bit...and frankly, I'm rather fond of 'a-kilter'. I like creating new, bold strokes, moving with some speed. Yet, this [...]
This quote graced my inbox this morning.... "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for [...]
I am frustrated in this moment. I don't like the feeling of disconnect when I am working in earnest to share a perspective, create a solution when asked, or have a moment of rest......and I am tired. The lists travel into my future like adding machine read outs....one into the next, into the next until [...]
So many roles he's played over the years. He's special. As a backdrop to some evening work earlier this week, I watched 'Sling Blade' with Billy Bob Thornton, (another peach of an actor). Robert Duvall as his father was brilliant. (And Dwight Yokam the perfect manipulative, arrogant, self serving, pushy ass, covering an insecure, misdirected [...]
I am most definitely aware of my deficiencies. I am also becoming more aware of where I am not so deficient, expecting myself to be good at it all less and less. Oooooh, but I'm a task master to my very own soul. Oh Popeye....he am what I am what you are. I'm over half [...]
