Joy, such a sought after emotion and it should be. Give thanks for the delightful moment it brings to you. The expansion, communion and inspiration it brings. Bask in it. Then, let it go. Yes, let it go. Like all of the emotions, it needs to flow naturally. Joy is in abundance. It won’t run […]
Our 180 Stars Our 180 Stars. A couple of years ago, my sister and her boyfriend of almost 15 years, decided to get married. They didn’t want a traditional wedding, but, rather, a simple back yard surprise wedding. My sister found some pictures of some beautiful backyard weddings and she pieced together what she wanted.

Our Monthly Trek Up the Mountain Our Monthly Trek Up the Mountain. In an effort to not contribute anymore plastic to our earth, we signed up for water delivery to our home several years ago. We enjoyed it so much that even when we would go to Florida in the winter, we would set up […]
Authenticity Authenticity Genuine. That is how I see authenticity. Fake. That is the opposite of authenticity. We are all genuine at times and fake at times. Why? I think it is a head and heart thing. When we come from the heart, we are authentic. When we come from the head, not so much. Our […]
“We Are All One” ~ The Feel Good BS Statement I get it, I get it. Spiritual leaders and various aware, awake and enlightened groups of people are quick to tell us that the answer we are searching for is that we are all one and I believe that, to some extent. What I call […]
“You always had the power, my dear. You just had to learn it for yourself.” ~Glinda This quote is used A LOT and it should be.

A Week of Being a Messy Human Have you considered the experience of A Week of Being a Messy Human recently? I am 83,865 words into writing a book. A memoir to be exact. I don’t know how I will publish it (look for an agent or self publish) and that really doesn’t matter to […]
“There’s no secret to Balance our lives. You just have to feel the waves.” ~Frank Herbert Balance – An even distribution; a condition where different elements are equal; to keep or put in a steady position so that it does not fall. I am not sure how life and balance ever got linked together. Life […]
“Many of us hold on to only those memories designed to protect us from being hurt again, memories that support our defenses, memories that the evolutionary biologists claim are part of our inborn ‘negative bias.’ Could any memories be missing?” ~ Mark Wolynn, from his book It Didn’t Start With You If you really take […]
It Really is OK to be Selfish. When you look up the definition of selfish the first half is about lacking consideration for others and unfortunately that is where most of us stop. No one wants to be thought of us not being concerned for others. But as you continue on in the definition, the […]
I have always been fond of the color red. I am not a big fan of “Hallmark” holidays such as Valentines’ Day, but anything cheery in February, is a welcome thing. Instead of writing about the holiday, I decided to write about the color red. Like most things, red has many different and varying definitions […]
