A Way

A “way” or “away?” just may be the question.  At times do we want to get away from something or do we want to find a way to deal with something difficult?  There is a big difference I have found in my thinking when I want to get away from something versus attempting to find a way through...

January Grain

How is 2015 turning out for you so far?  We are 12 days into the New Year so the year is young.  I would add a “thank goodness” in more ways than one to the former sentence.  To get very honest, I am in resistance mode big time so far yet like the waves that we watch from shore, the...

You Have a Story Inside

What is your communication bliss?  Is it “snail mail” or chatting on the telephone, texting, status posts, in person chats, writing or something else?  Some of us are outgoing & some of us are reserved.  We need both of this in the world big time.  When I was a little girl I...

Rave Reviews

Rave Reviews What if we could write our own review each year of our life experiences over the past 12 months? Oh right, we can if we want to.  As a humorous aside, sometimes when our oldest son is either giving grunt like responses or zombie non responses, I like to say one of two things which...

Ho Ho Hold On

Yikes, it is 3 days until Christmas.  Are you ready?  Are any of us ever really ready this time of the year or do we simply just keep going until we run out of time?  Our messy, imperfect Christmas celebration is coming together in a way that I am simply & finally okay...

Comfortable, Gentle Softness

I would love to share something that has stayed with me.  I heard the words a number of times this past month.  The precious words came from our youngest son, Alex.  He has asked a number of times lately if I realize that when I read either on-line notes, hand-written notes from...

Shall We Wish One Another a Messy Christmas

Some people say, “Happy Holidays”, others, “Happy Hanukkah” or “Merry Christmas” this time of the year.  Although we are unlikely to wish one another a Messy Christmas, it may be something that at times fits the season.  Please don’t get me wrong…I embrace the best parts of...

Gentle Warriors

What is the deal with the wearing of masks way beyond Halloween?  Is there a great deal of dawning of masks throughout the entire year by many people?  We each answer that question for ourselves.  Maybe it is the passage of time that has brought this to the forefront of my...

Are Polite Adults Allowed to Say, "Just Get Over It?"

Are polite adults allowed to say, “Just get over it?” What if everything we are thinking were to appear in a bubble caption above our heads for others to see?  In some ways we may consider that to be both a good & not great thing at the same time.  For instance each one of us may find...

Mother Nature versus Human Nature

What do you think about as you experience another Fall season?  Is it your favourite time of year or is there another season that speaks to your heart?  Why is that?  Do you feel in step with Mother Nature during some times of the year & not as much at others? I love Fall big...
