Little Doubt
With love, there is little doubt. This thought popped into my mind while I was doing my workout today. Sunni, as always, was “helping” me with my workout. There was little doubt in her mind that I would toss or roll the ball for her. And, to be honest, I didn’t doubt it either. Not […]
Guilt
Have you felt guilt? If we’re honest, at least with ourselves, guilt is something most have experienced at one time or another. I’ll repeat the disclaimer: I am not a therapist, psychologist, or trained counselor. I write from my heart and my experiences in my hope of giving a nudge and hug as you, we, […]
Quiet Solitude
Can you sit in quiet solitude? Can you sit and feel the sun move across your face as it moves through the sky? Can you watch birds as they call and dance in the yard, visiting feeders and birdbaths? Can you witness the leaves as they fall during the change of season or the snow […]
Memories
Six years ago, but today it feels like yesterday, I was exhausted and numb while purposely organizing and packing for an urgent journey – and I use that word specifically – to a California academic medical center for an Awake Craniotomy to remove the largest tumor in my husband’s brain. A few days before, on […]
Caution Label
What if life came with a caution label? This thought came to me as I was sitting at the end of the dock, watching the sun first touch the far shore and light up the land. It was glorious. And, if I had not intentionally taken the time to go down and sit quietly at […]
Be Your Authentic Self
The laugh just bubbled out. We were on our early morning walk. A young woman wearing black athletic pants and top walked out from behind a large SUV parked in a driveway. With her head down, she turned towards us. Sunni and I stopped on the sidewalk to avoid running into each other. Well, actually, […]
Why Times 5
Is there something you want to do that either can’t get traction or a direction or are you stuck completing it? This was most definitely me. For years. I can and will give myself the grace in knowing that much of the delay was because I needed time – time to adjust to becoming a […]
Don’t They See Me?
Don’t they see me? Do they even know who I am? The brutally truthful answer to that is – no. It’s unlikely they do. I’m going to stumble my way through writing this. Even though I don’t have it all figured out, I am driven to write this. Someone needs to hear it, even if […]
The Cards We Hold
Is there a quote that resonates deep into your body and mind? I’m going to guess your answer is yes. And, I’ll venture out further and say you’ve had more than one quote that has done this to you. Recently I felt this vibration through my body and into my wounded soul. I was listening […]
Scheduling Important Things
Where are you in today’s schedule? Or would a more accurate question be – are you even on your schedule? I’m sure you’ve heard the same thing I have. Do the most important things first in your day. If there is a project you must get done, do it first. If you have an essential […]
