Choosing Peace

Somehow, you are both the best and the worst thing that has ever happened to me. We’re going for lunch today, meeting at a halfway point. She asked, I concurred. When I checked in with my body – used mindful breathwork, sat quietly, located where I feel energies when I think of her and ponderContinue reading “Choosing Peace”

YEE-HAW!

If you can push through that feeling of being scared, that feeling of taking a risk, really amazing things can happen. Marissa Mayer I hate it when Life is asking me to do something scary. Like anyone would be, I can be complacent and prefer the quiet, comfortable life.  It’s okay to be scared. ItContinue reading “YEE-HAW!”

Two Ears

Two ears, one mouth. Dear Listener, You freakin’ rock my world! Husband is an excellent listener… and with so much excitable energy which usually makes its way out of my mouth, I’m blessed by his calm, grounded, open heart… which looks like his listening to me and making comments only as adds to our discussion.Continue reading “Two Ears”

Saturday’s Laughter

If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy. Proverb Thankful to Husband. Saturdays is our grocery shopping date. He calls it “foreplay” because we both love it so much. Truly. We gotta have plenty of food in the house because I enjoy feeding people – it’s my love language – and heContinue reading “Saturday’s Laughter”

Leaning In

Day Nine… and I find myself leaning in to Love like never before… who knew that “leaning in” would look like this, though? Quiet. Still. Curious. Compassionate. Courageous. Scared. Brave. Bold. Unsure. Patient. Just finished an hour on the stationary bike. So thankful to have a piece of cardio equipment that fits inside the house.Continue reading “Leaning In”

Floating Up To The Strap

I have “so far” to go on my journey to Nowhere, Everywhere, and Deeper Still. Upon my sharing that I was embarking on a 40-day Sabbatical Journey, a few initially wondered aloud to me, “what does this entail… like, where are you going? Who will you be seeing? What will you be doing? What sightsContinue reading “Floating Up To The Strap”

Feels ‘n J On The Porch

Husband is back inside after a second go-round with the snow blower. Suffice it to say, there’s a whole lot of snow out there. It remains one of my least favorite times of the year. I hate wearing clothes and the time spent bundling and unbundling is an aggravation. Sigh. 😦 And yet, FWP. I amContinue reading “Feels ‘n J On The Porch”

Candles

Husband and I just returned from a walk with FurButt. While I ponder and type, he is undecorating the house from the holidays. Wreaths in windows: down and stored. Lighted greenery with big red bows: removed and tucked into boxes. Candles in the windows: staying. We’ve decided to keep the candles in the windows forContinue reading “Candles”

Tree

God nudged me awake at 1:40am. I prefer to say it this way because it makes me feel like my being awake while the world sleeps has purpose. It’s not a madness; it’s a gift. Leastwise, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I read for a little while but knew that this wasContinue reading “Tree”

There Is No Try

Luke: Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally different. Yoda: No. No different. Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned. Luke: All right, I’ll give it a try. Yoda: No, try not. Do… or do not. There is no try. As I sit here in my office,Continue reading “There Is No Try”
