Sit still
We were taught to be quiet when we were children, to listen. Somehow the world worked to change us. As an adult, I had to go back and find myself and reclaim that identity. I learned to be quiet again, to understand the power of silence and stillness again. A crow watches the birds at…

New Year
Winter is a season of rest, reflection and time at home with loved ones. To welcome the new year I discard, pass on or donate any clutter or unused objects in the house. It’s a reminder to keep life simple. The weather has been warm and the lake is not frozen. The ice fishers turned…

The spirit of the holiday season/Winter.
The spirit of the season is love. The spirit of the season is peace. It is not about gifts or shopping or new clothing. The spirit of the season is about joy, hope and light. Catch the spirit of the season, share it and keep it in your heart all year ❤️🕊️

Let it begin with me🕊️
The winter season is wonderful in so many ways. The season is peaceful and quiet. As snow blankets the ground, the earth sleeps. Nature is resting.

Winter

Nothing is asked of you, there is no condition or punishment when love is present. Pure love will never hurt, control you or demean you. Creator is joy, creator is everwhere, inside you…

Does America Really Want to Win The Environmental Battle?
Climate change is happening all around us. The fires in NYS and NYC are reminders that climate change is more and more a daily reality. Recently, floods in the South devastated towns. My husband and I had been to the Smokey’s and Asheville and were stunned by the damage. The lives lost are tragic…

Veterans Day
Mornings are my favorite time of the day. This morning we were up and out as the sky started to turn pink at sunrise. When we stepped outside, the air was perfumed with the scent of burning firewood. Tomorrow is a day off from work. But it’s more than that, it’s a day to remember…

Autumn
It’s dark in the morning and the sun comes up after 7am. I love autumn mornings. The air is crisp, fresh and cold. I have my coffee looking out at the valley. My husband makes more coffee for us. We voted yesterday. The pace of people in and out of the voting area was brisk.…
