In my variety of readings this Christmas Eve morning, I read Seth Godin’s blog post about “the seeds we plant.” It resonated with me on many levels. I know many of us feel that 2020 was a horrible, even wasted year, but that may not be true. Yes, schedules were interrupted, goals revised or thrown […]
Each year I choose a word that I live with and really dig into throughout the year. Last year in 2020, my word was WISDOM (discernment) and boy oh boy did I learn A LOT! In a year of huge change and life looking nothing like we are used to, this year gave me ample […]
This morning during my meditation time one of my readings came from Mark Nepo’s Book of Awakening. The title read, “To Marry One’s Soul”. Even before I began to read, I paused and sat with this idea for several minutes. What can up for me was no only beautiful, but powerful. I would love for […]

“The world has been turned upside down, and we’ve been whipsawed, not just by a pandemic, but by the fast-moving stories that went with it. It has disrupted our families, our lives and our projects as well. George Floyd’s murder became a wake-up call, a story that we can no longer ignore, a call to […]
Do you like lists? I do. I love to make a good list. It can be anything from the mundane grocery list to what I need to accomplish this day. Once I found a card in the store that had a cute list of things to do that were joyful. I bought the card (I […]
Yesterday my husband and I drove the second leg of our trip to see my brother and sister in law in Ohio. This is only the second time in our ten years together that we have traveled to their home. As I write this, I am sitting in their sunroom with the glow of sunrise […]
With nothing but time, as the world grinds to a halt to ward off the crippling virus, Covid-19, I have been reading and meditating on the idea of Christ’s second coming. The bible tells us we will not know the time or day and I am beginning to come to a place in my heart […]
