It IS Easy Being Me

A dear, dear, friend, who has walked my journey hand in hand with me, shared this with me today. I couldn’t summarize where I have finally arrived at any better than this:

Today’s quotation:

Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ . . . → Read More: It IS Easy Being Me

Journey’s Ending

Today was a really great day. It started off with Breakfast With the Authors at the Hyannis Yacht Club. Just driving there I was elated with just being alive and living on Cape Cod. Elin Hilderbrand, author of my favorite beach reads, was one of the speakers. Hearing her journey was fun and inspiring. If . . . → Read More: Journey’s Ending

Life Opens Up When You Do

It surprised me when I heard my quote of the day on a toothpaste commercial.

“Life opens up when you do.”

Beautiful Beach to Beautiful Rain

As much as yesterday was a pristine beach day, today was a beautiful rain day. I spent the afternoon upstairs painting closet doors in the girls room.

The smell of mingled rain . . . → Read More: Beautiful Beach to Beautiful Rain

She’s always been one to “go out and make her own luck”, as the saying goes. Well, after I read . . . → Read More: Perseverance IS Patience

The Bottom of the Sea

I spend a lot of my days walking the Cape Cod shoreline. Everyday the water’s surface is decidedly different. Some days the water is gray-blue with barely a wave – just small ripples. Other days the water is dark green riddled with whitecaps and large pounding waves. In a reading today, by Mark Nepo, it . . . → Read More: The Bottom of the Sea

Road to Peace

“peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things AND STILL BE CALM IN YOUR HEART. “ ~ unknown

That was a quote I used to keep prominently displayed on top of my computer in . . . → Read More: Road to Peace

Inhale/Exhale

Compassion can easily go two ways. You can completely open yourself up to others, take on their anxieties and pain and lose yourself in the process. Or, you can stay closed up and cut them off to preserve your sense of self. I have been to both schools. Through the course of this education, I . . . → Read More: Inhale/Exhale
