  • 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…

  • Grateful

    The Italian lady puts a platter in front of me. It’s enough food for 6 people. Here you go she says and smiles at me. She is tiny and thin and her apron hangs crooked on her. Her eyes are deep brown and kind. She touches my shoulder and says enjoy. The food is steaming…

  • Flowers in the window

    My mom was dying. She was at home in what they call home hospice. The nurse assigned was advised by her physician to give her morphine. My mom was tiny, fading and full of pain. The morphine helped. This morning I watered the flowers I bought for her two years ago. They sit in my…

    David Brooks recently wrote an article entitled “ How America Got Mean”. The topic has been source of conversation with friends and family, so we were intrigued to see an article on the topic.

When we are out of balance, it is deadly. It will clear the path for renewal by destroying everything that caused imbalance. As we watch the fires in…

  • 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. This morning I woke up to flurries and the trees were dancing.  The wind conducting music, an orchestra, for them to dance to.  They moved slowly back and forth,…

  • Seasons

    Fall is my favorite season.  No, wait a minute, summer is.  No wait, I love winter, oh and spring!!  I feel fortunate to live in a place where there are four seasons.  I really do love each of them. Each brings me joy and happiness. There are also some difficulties, too hot, too cold, too…

  • Junk Food

    Most of the time, I am not in a rush.  For part of my adult life, I was always in a rush. There was full-time school, full-time work and responsibilities at home. My days were hectic and I ran from one thing to another with little time for myself.  As I evolved, and in this…

  • Trauma

    This morning my husband shared a beautiful story about a friend who is working on healing her trauma.  She took a trip to a nature preserve with her family. On a walk they came upon a bush full of butterflies.  She said that there were hundreds of bright and beautiful butterflies.  As they approached, they…
