Walking On Water…

…and we all know what happens when we look down……

Everyone has their own focal point; that lighthouse that beckons when we stray from that which we believe is important in life. For me, that just happens to be God. Many times, when we stray from our focal point, it is unintentional and unknowingly. Major . . . → Read More: Walking On Water…

Breaking Ground

Over the weekend I was doing some gardening. I was loosening the dirt in the flower beds, being very careful not to disturb the the tiny, green new shoots of the plants working so hard to push their way up through the soil. While working, the sun was warm on my back and thru the . . . → Read More: Breaking Ground

Today….Practicing Gratitude

….first, for my husband, who is always there for me in my rough patches….always supporting me….never rescuing me…..respecting my opinions and views, but never speaking for me. Second, for my two very close friends, who this week, felt my pain and circled the wagons.

I am lucky to have such “pillows” and will rest . . . → Read More: Today….Practicing Gratitude

A Different Window

Everyday when I come downstairs and settle in my rocking chair, the sun rises just to right of the window I look out of.

It’s Never Too Late To Mend

It’s never too late to mend…..was a comment left on my blog yesterday. For some reason it just played around my head all night. I somehow appreciated those 6 small words from a complete stranger. It goes to show how we are all connected to each other and to the earth. We all feel the . . . → Read More: It’s Never Too Late To Mend

Simple Days

Most days are fraught with thinking and a knashing mind, and/or places to go crowded in with people to see. Then, once in a great while, like a holiday, comes a simple day. It dawns bright and clear right smack in the middle of an ordinary week, making the week extraordinary. You wake up peaceful . . . → Read More: Simple Days

Obsession (not the perfume)

It never ceases to amaze me how well we know ourselves, use that knowledge to make decisions about what’s right for us, and, later at some other time, have our decisions validated.

Yesterday in our yoga class a new spring challenge was being announced. It included 5 classes a week for 5 weeks in . . . → Read More: Obsession (not the perfume)

Put the Oxygen Mask On First

“We often give up the right to renewal to accommodate the anxieties of those around us.”

“Unfortunately, there is no escaping this underside of growth. So it is not surprising that there are many feelings peculiar to human beings that prevent us from shedding that which has ceased to work, including fear, pride, nostalgia, a . . . → Read More: Put the Oxygen Mask On First
