On Soup & Peace

You can’t find peace by avoiding life.  Virginia Wooli I am in from walking FurButt Gigi for her usual constitutional around the neighborhood. A heat wave at 25 degrees, though much snow accumulated throughout the night and Husband started the snow-blower as we headed out to sniff, poop, and share secrets. Gigi really is theContinue reading “On Soup & Peace”

Darling

I am a continuation, like the rain is a continuation of the cloud. Thich Nhat Hanh Thich Nhat Hanh passed away a few days ago. He slipped out of this dimension into a higher vibration at the age of 95. How blessed we have been on this planet to have shared time and space withContinue reading “Darling”

Hungry

When you are going through hell, keep going. Winston Churchill Awoke feeling very different this morning. Usually, I sense a great heaviness… like, oh shit, I’m still here. I’m still in my skin. It feels so weighty, almost like I can’t breathe. Then I check in to my body, and often sense a chasm ofContinue reading “Hungry”

On Friends

Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you. Misty Copeland Kicked ass at the race today. Dominated. BOOM. Minus five degrees? Pfffft. Not a problem when you’ve got two of the best souls alive on planet Earth beside you. We three laughed, cried, ate, ran, cried some more – okay,Continue reading “On Friends”

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”

Consumed

Words. Poetry. Lyrics. Such power to move me. When I write and when I read, I am changed. I can feel the energies pouring into me, coming up from within, and splashing out. There is nothing better. For me. This is how I move, feel, flow, experience fully. I know that I know that I wasContinue reading “Consumed”

Simplicity

Simple things. Simple things make a big difference. Drink water. Get some exercise most days. Be sure to rest. Especially if I’m tired, rest. Laugh daily. Cry. It’s okay. Crying is NOT weakness leaving the body. It’s a movement of energies coming up and out of the body. And this is beneficial. Cleansing. Eat vegetablesContinue reading “Simplicity”

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”
