Words to the Other Side #WordsofGratitude

Dearest Friend, I still cannot believe you have left this earth for the next journey in this thing we call Life. It just does not seem possible that one day you were here and then soon thereafter, you are gone. But gone does not mean anything more than the physical, does it? I remember when...

It All Starts at Home #HelpingOthers #GivingIsReceiving

When was the last time you held a door open for someone? Better yet, when was the last time someone held a door open for you? How did that make you feel? Kindness matters now more than ever. Decades ago I read Deepak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. This book changed my... Continue Reading →

Why Are We So Afraid of Death? #Grief #Grieving #GoodBye

Damn, just damnit. The passing of a friend before her time is weighing heavy on me since Friday. Not why but what the heck. Why are we so damn afraid of death? Isn’t it the circle of life? Isn’t death inevitable? We cry and mourn, and the experience weighs heavy on our shoulders. We also... Continue Reading →

Let’s Make This Work #Collaborate #StrongerTogether

I am writing this on Sunday, and I am icing my right knee. Believe it or not, what did me in was too much shopping with my sister who was visiting last week. Who knew shopping had side effects?

Moving Can Be Emotional, For Reasons We May Not Realize #ChangeIsGood

I finished moving from my 480 square foot tiny house to a real place, 1,200 square feet featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage. Don’t laugh at my Realtor description, I can’t help it! I also had to admit that this was more emotional than any other move from my past. I... Continue Reading →

Packing is a Pain #MemoryLane #ChangeIsGood

Change is good and moving makes a person do just that. Yes, I packed last week and this weekend. Got a lot accomplished but don’t quite give me the high five. After all, I live in 480 square feet. My art collection except the two largest pieces are off the walls. I must admit the... Continue Reading →

Pushing Grief Aside, Again #Grieving #LifeLesson

I am moving at the end of the month, so this weekend I have begun the packing process. First, you get the boxes and put them in the garage and just look at them. And then the only word that runs the rodeo in your head is “work”. {sigh} I really shouldn’t complain, after all... Continue Reading →

Become A Voter For Life #VoteEarly #ReliableVoter

I voted today! I rarely vote early, but I am planning on taking the day after the election off from work to track contested races, watch the news and pretty much have a teeth grinding type of day. Why? Because I care. Last week, I hosted a house gathering for a candidate in my district... Continue Reading →
