I have been in a writer’s block for a few weeks now, unable to sit down and write what is on my mind. Truthfully, there are too many issues on my mind. I have had to turn that off and sit still to meditate more often. Even my walks and hikes are in silence. It... Continue Reading →
A Great Goodbye to 2023 Me
What can I say? 2023 was a great year and yet full of surprises mixed with oddities. I don’t want to call those oddities disappointments because they were simply the speed bumps of life. Most of all, I had an exciting year of discovery. It was all about many life changes, too. I had a... Continue Reading →
Don’t Be a Negative Nerd #SmileDamnit
I think a great deal of Americans and other nations have been in a funk for awhile now. We are tired of COVID, negative politics, nasty comments on social media, rude vehicle drivers. Let’s face it, things don’t seem to be going our way. Maybe things used to go your way, but you have to... Continue Reading →
Life Is a Series of Doors #LifeLessons

And some of those events are still with us, at no fault of our own. Which led millions of Americans to go... Continue Reading →
How Does America Heal? #BuildingBridges
I have struggled since last week to write a blog post because of the swirling drama over the election, COVID surge and general feeling of gloom in America. Giving up or giving in? I am not sure what I need to consider for healing…..For that matter, what America needs. I have found that letting go... Continue Reading →
Roller Coaster November #Election2020
Let’s face it, we won’t know the election results for at least a week after next Tuesday. It’s inevitable given the absentee ballots and early voting we are watching in the national news every day. What impresses me is the amount of determination to vote, no matter what, no matter how long the lines are.... Continue Reading →
What I Miss and What I Have Changed #Pandemic2020
In the days of COVID-19, Americans have learned to adapt and adjust our daily lives. That thought led me to think of what I miss and what I have done to replace activities. Things I used to do that I have not yet ventured out in the world to do again. I am just not... Continue Reading →
