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.…

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…

Inyeon
Inyeon, a Korean Buddhist philosophy, is described as the invisible thread binding us across lifetimes. There are people who we meet that feel instantly comfortable and familiar. There is a recognition that they are connected to us without our knowing them for very long. Karmic forces connect us to those we have unfinished business with.…

Words
The words we speak hold great power. They can help others in difficult times or bring them down through harsh judgements. Through all of our experiences the energy of our words and those of others will impact us. Words have great energy, they are powerful. Imagine if we only choose words that help and heal.…

Rabbit Hollow
The rabbits were out in full force. They are not afraid. They stand still in the grass as dog and I walk along the path. I leave some strawberries in the treeline for them. Three of the babies were out today. Running, chasing each other in the grass. They find shelter under the pines and…
