  • Superstitious

    Are you superstitious? Growing up in a household where my mom held certain superstitious beliefs, yes. Why tempt fate? I am somewhat superstitious!

  • Listen for intention

    When people speak to me, I listen for intention. How does this person want me to view them? How are they behaving? They will tell me how they want me to perceive them. Their words tell me what they want our relationship to be or what it will become. People create unhealthy situations by choice.…

  • Belief Systems

    Belief Systems What you decide to be is what you become.  No one can define feelings or thoughts for you.  No one can create a state of mind for you. Throughout our lifetimes our interactions with friends, family, co-workers  and neighbors are subject to their state of mind or their belief system as well as…

  • Ghosts

    There are some people we will always be connected to.  They come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. They may leave our lives or stay.   There is a connection between this world and the next,  it is a fine line. We are energy. We are balls of energy in…

  • Juju

    Juju ran up the block, he had no jacket on.  His thin wiry arms moving like a swimmers over the cement sidewalk.  Moving through a range of strokes over the cement sidewalk he approaches, running, frantic. Juju sees me going through the gate of my house and runs towards me.  Caro, Caro, save me.  I…

  • Water

    What is your favorite drink? I drink a lot of water. I also drink coffee and herbal teas. When I am out I will order a Diet Pepsi. I don’t buy it for the house but will order out.

  • Chicken Wings and Snow Squalls

    Home is my absolute favorite place. I’m always happy to travel, to go to see friends and family and visit. But sometimes I just need home. The comfort and familiarity of it. Heading back today towards home I rode into a storm. Winter storms here kick up quickly, they can be unforgiving. The bridge had…

  • Before you adopt a pet…….

    Lou came into our lives quite unexpectedly. Before Lou, we lived with two cats and a dog. They lived long lives and the three passed within a year of each other. We had decided to wait at least a year before considering adopting another pet. We were still missing them. When you are accustomed to…

  • Rainbows around the moon

    There is a calm and peaceful feeling in winter. Tonight there was a rainbow (moonbow) around the moon. How rare and beautiful. When I scanned the sky, the stars shone bright. Constellations to the right. The North Star glowing . It seemed larger than usual. A white ball in the sky. I know this has…
