Let Them In

Recently I have gone through a hard time with my sister-in-law’s cancer. I’m so glad I have so much support from my friends here on the Cape. Many times I would hesitate to say what was wrong when asked. You know that feeling – everyone has their own bag of stuff and they don’t need . . . → Read More: Let Them In

Elevators

Today Laurie Grenier from QVC and Shark Tank was on CBS this morning. When asked how she started her business and grew it into what it is today, she painted a great picture. She said, ” It’s like an elevator – there’s no shortcut to the penthouse. You have to stop on every floor.” This . . . → Read More: Elevators

From An Illustrator’s Perspective

When new things appear on my radar that require me to put in more spiritual work to deal with them, I tend to focus on one aspect of the situation until the focus becomes my focus and I lose perspective entirely. My illustrating project has taught me much about dealing with the things life throws . . . → Read More: From An Illustrator’s Perspective

Confusion Is

Today my nephew’s fiancé posted a great quote on Facebook:

“Do you know what makes life confusing? When you can’t determine if things are signs for you to give up or simply a test to see if you can hold on longer….” ~ Unknown

That’s the true epitome of confusion if I ever saw . . . → Read More: Confusion Is

Remember Being Seven?

Remember being seven and moving that circle of folded paper back and forth and lifting up the flap to see your fortune? Today I got a forward from a friend that transported me back to that era. Those of you who know me, know I don't forward. Everyone has enough stuff in their inbox that . . . → Read More: Remember Being Seven?

I Just Couldn’t Help It

This weekend I spent a lot of time cuddled up reading, eating and drinking – not always the best of stuff either. Today I couldn’t wait to get to fit club. I had a great workout, but then spent the rest of the day fighting off that need to go to yoga because I had . . . → Read More: I Just Couldn’t Help It

Gentle Re-Entry

A friend of mine texted me that she just landed in Boston from LA. After she got home, she said she is enjoying a gentle re-entry. Just the wording of that phrase made me feel calm. I’m going to practice a re-entry myself tomorrow. A re-entry into my daily life and I certainly do want . . . → Read More: Gentle Re-Entry

Tools

It felt so great this morning to have everything back to normal – power on, cleanup done. My husband left for NY and I grabbed my yoga gear and….snap…the power went off again. No biggie. I'll just go to fit club and it'll probably be back on when I get home. I switched gear and . . . → Read More: Tools

Nemo – Day 3 – Live From East Sandwich Beach

Day three begins, once again, with no power. There is power in one lone block in the center of our town which contains not only the police station, but a gas station right next door to it. This made getting enough gas for the generator easy. We had to get enough because the tweet from . . . → Read More: Nemo – Day 3 – Live From East Sandwich Beach

Camping!

It’s official! We’re camping! Power on East Sandwich Beach went out about 8:30. It took us an hour to get the generator going, hook up the heat and I can use the microwave and charge the cell phones. So, so far, all is well. We have plenty of food and all the scents of the . . . → Read More: Camping!
