No Strings Attached
Today, I was reminded that kindness isn’t always received the way we expect it to be. I found myself in the middle of an unexpected moment, one where something as simple as encouraging kindness sparked frustration instead of understanding. Not because kindness lacks value, but because sometimes people are carrying more than we can see…

Journey’s Part II
It was a sunny day and I was happily shifting through color swatches and fabric samples. The rooms in the house were dark, unusually so. The walls were painted in dark paint, casting a quiet, uneasy weight over the rooms. The first thing I needed to do was bring light in. A friend had given…

Things Happen
It was evening now, the house was quiet. Emmy thought back on the day. She thought about the harvest fair and being with Margo, her best friend. It had been a nice day, at least up until “the incident”. Emmy thought about it and shook her head. Maybe I should have done more to help,…

Journey’s – Part I – The House
My husband Frank dug a trail to the door. The snow was about three feet deep. When we pulled up, we were surprised to see that nothing had been shoveled — not even a thin path to the door. When the realtor arrived, he told us the key was in the back of the house.…

Two Feathers
There has been a lot of movement of energy around me. The other day I asked my husband if he was feeling it too. He acknowledged it. Doors opening and closing with the wind. The unseen breath of life, natures messenger seeking attention. Reminding us that it is best not to resist its flow. It…

Winter is a time to turn inward. I appreciate the stillness of a snowy day. The quiet as the snow lands on the earth is comforting. A blanket under which we hear our own thoughts more clearly. December reminds me that a new year is approaching. I clean out my desk, my closets, and the…

What’s in a name?
When I’m in New York City, I never, or I should say, rarely, encounter questioning about my name or credential’s. We are a melting pot. People generally don’t make assumptions based on your name, they take the time to get to know you. When I’m traveling outside of the city, to different states, I encounter…

Seeds
World events are beyond what most of us can comprehend. The news leaves us feeling helpless. We see so much anger and hate around us. To be honest with you, we can only control what we do and how we feel. This is true no matter the event. We react when we see large scale…
