This has been an extraordinary week for me...conflicts, surprises, epiphanies, opportunities to move forward differently. It's the stuff of songs and new beginnings, and if not, at least profoundly 'full'! Sleep, though needed, feels almost a nuisance....there is just so much to navigate. I choose to look at EVERYTHING that appears in my life [...]
I had an interesting day today. I often prepare during my weekend time, for a new week, along with some rest, certainly a refocusing time; though once off on my week, it's a mystery as to where any given moment might take me.....and FYI....the moon is FULL, VERY full. I feel it entirely. The following [...]
Everyday we have an opportunity. I'm thinking of my two friends. I'm thinking of my friend with cancer and I'm thinking of my friend who feels she is at the end of her rope. My few best friends are facing challenging situations in their lives. As I sit with them, and as I send them [...]
Knowing your heart. At the end of the day, we answer only to ourselves and perhaps our higher power. As I go to bed I review my day and assess, have I endeavored to be loving, purposeful, living my life 'on' purpose, doing what my soul is meant to do. Some days I [...]
Whenever I read Tom Robbins, I get a hankerin to hit the road...it's a must now and again....usually alone, though often with someone I know along route or at my destinations end, and on fine occasion, with a fellow traveller, but alone is fine too. It's what I call my 'expanding time' as I never [...]
I have a dear friend who lives in Maine; I've spoken of her before, the lovely and talented Karen Montanaro, wife of my beloved late teacher Tony Montanaro. She is a seeker like myself. Our conversations would drive most anyone mad as we stay up late into the night bug-eyed considering thoughts in the realms [...]
I am considering that I might need to embrace rather than scorn the sleep that won't come to me. Perhaps I'm supposed to lie awake to hear something which I can't hear in my sleep. Maybe I'm like a new mother, having just given birth or about to give birth to something new and spectacular [...]
Religion and politics can rile even the most mild mannered citizen. Much as pets and children can 'steal the show', heated debates around the aforementioned topics can reek havoc on relationships as to me, what I hear most is a fervent need to 'be right'. I am intrigued after reading my business coach's blog, The [...]
I'm lately indulging myself in one of my favorite writers, Mr. Tom Robbins. I was first introduced to him when I was but a mere pumpkin reading Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Having always fashioned myself as a sort of renegade cowgirl, his protagonist, Sissy Hankshaw was a breath of fresh female icon to me...similar [...]
I unfortunately take WAY too many things in my life PERSONALLY, yes, all in caps. Perhaps I need too much approval. I have an unfortunate desire to be understood. (Forget THAT one). Being a business owner can really stink at times. Risk your life, do your best, stay up into the wee hours with worry [...]
