Storm Prep

There’s only one thing to write about tonight – storm prep. New England is facing the worst blizzard we’ve seen in many years. Snow totals here in Sandwich are expected to be in the teens of inches, while off cape it’s over three feet in places. Boston is totally shutting down. All schools are closed, . . . → Read More: Storm Prep

iLuv

Some days are just filled with love. Not big, huge starry-eyed I'm falling in love love, but teeny tiny fondness love for little ordinary things. This weekend, as I cleaned, relaxed, and did artwork, I found myself saying "I really love and appreciate ______." to my husband four or five times. I asked him to . . . → Read More: iLuv

What? LIVE With An Unsolved Problem?

What? Live with an unsolved problem? Really Lord? There's peace in that?

That was my reaction to my morning reading this morning. I'm taking a second trip through Melody Beattie's More The Language of Letting Go. This morning that concept was just flung across the page, striking me, and even enraging me a little. Isn't . . . → Read More: What? LIVE With An Unsolved Problem?

Just A Piece Of Paper

As a writer and a lover of words, a piece of paper is very important to me. The words that I might put on that paper could influence someone else to have a little better day, to inform someone and give them the gift of new knowledge, or to inspire them to keep going and . . . → Read More: Just A Piece Of Paper

Searching For Gentleness

This morning’s Bikram class was the first after three days. Things are very different with my body. Certain parts feel foreign and out of place. The only thing I can liken it to is when your first pregnant and your body just doesn’t feel familiar anymore. Instead of grabbing my heels in forward bend, I . . . → Read More: Searching For Gentleness

Painting!

Today’s quote in yesterday’s Cape Cod Times was:

“Life is a great big canvas and you should throw all the paint you can on it.” ~ Danny Kaye

I love this quote. Right away I picture a white canvas with all bright colors being spattered and swirled all over it. Life. Big, beautiful, exciting…..etc. Then . . . → Read More: Painting!

Tapping

Yes, tapping. What is tapping? Just what it says it is – tapping – like tapping your fingers on the table. So, why am I writing about something so ordinary? Because I've never heard of it before. I mean, I've heard about tapping your fingers on the table while nervous or bored, but I've never . . . → Read More: Tapping

A Day Off

Yesterday I took a day off. My daughters would laugh and say, "A day off from what? You don't work." Since they are still in the time of their lives when a typical job takes up five days a week, a day off to them just means you don't go to your place of work. . . . → Read More: A Day Off

Random Sleeping Man

This morning I read a post by Jennifer Boykin. (I follow her blog – she's really quite intuitive in a way I connect with) Her blog name, Life After Tampons, causes a few smiles, but it's the tag line that hits me where I need it to – "Quit your bitching – change your life." . . . → Read More: Random Sleeping Man
