Loving parents who showed me what true love, through thick n thin, was. 2. An education that prepared me for my career life. 3. A career that brought me smiles . . . → Read More: Happy Birthday to Me

Each day I take another step down the hot, slippery sand. Now, almost 8 months into the journey, the slippery steps are fewer, but they still occur and threaten to set me and my beach gear down on my butt in that hot sand. Wednesday was a slip sliddin’ day. Yesterday threatened to be one, . . . → Read More: The Downside of the Beach Path Con’t This summer I just completed a beginning drawing class. In six weeks I went from breaking out into a cold sweat when faced with putting the pencil to the paper to using crayons, pencils, pastels, and even charcoal with almost giddy excitement. I draw everything. I came to view it like child’s play and if . . . → Read More: Stand Back In three days I will be 58 years old and today is the first time I ever went to a movie alone. I was 56 before I ever went to a restaurant and had a meal alone. One would think I didn't like my own company. I thought that too, when first thinking about never . . . → Read More: First Time for Everything There I was, morning yoga class, in Standing Separate Head to Knee pose, forehead smashed against my knee (don’t even ask how you connect those parts), sinuses running out from somewhere in my nasal cavity while at the same time, sweat is running up my nose (again, don’t ask), and here is what the instructor . . . → Read More: Those Uncomfortable Moments in Life Today is a cozy, rainy Sunday on Cape Cod which means only one thing – movies!

Now, you may think, just as I did, how could a book about an episcopal priest be even close to interesting? A sixty two year old priest at that. That’s what I said to my friend . . . → Read More: Father Tim – My Hero When I opened my eyes to the morning light at about 6 am, God was right there with a message. “There’s a new software update waiting to be downloaded into your soul”. I sat up, put each foot to the floor to the words “Thank…you”, and proceeded downstairs for my morning tea to wait for . . . → Read More: Great, Unsearchable Truths This past year my children have been laughing at my new “soap addiction”. Everyday, I get home from yoga, shower and sit down with lunch and the newspaper. It just so happens this particular soap, The Young and The Restless, is on at just about that time. I watched the very first episode with . . . → Read More: Soaps Jealousy…..this is a topic I have been avoiding on my journey for months. I never viewed myself as a jealous person. If anyone else alluded to me being jealous, I could never, never see how that could apply to me. Until now. My six month journey has been about facing the fear of loss. . . . → Read More: Jealousy |
