With Christmas ‘sneaking’ up on us, it is [maybe] best if we are open to allow what is to be what it is. Do not be angry that it isn’t different than it is.  Do not wish for things we do not have; things we do not know.  Do not think that it is within […]

Owning.   It is a peculiar word to me just now. I want to ‘talk’ about owning who we are; owning what we are; owning what we do; owning what we say. Owning what we feel.   Allowing ourselves to feel what comes up for us to feel. Many of us want to squelch what we feel […]

We see some thing that reminds us of a special someone.   We buy it.  We purchase it.  We make it.  We offer it. We see things that make us happy.  Sometimes we buy it; sometimes we do not. As we gather what feels right to gather and what feels like it is coming from the […]

With one week until it will be Christmas Day, there may be a whole lot of different emotions, feelings, thoughts and things surrounding us and within us. We may know peace, organization, joy and excited anticipation. We may know chaos, uncertainty, rush and stress. We may know contentment.  We may know emptiness. We may know […]

It doesn’t have to be a happy day to have happy in it.  Moments of happiness are fun and enjoyable.  There are always chances, people, situations and feelings that we can find happiness in. Happiness is a choice.   We choose it.   We feel it.  We let it in. May you let happiness be your choice […]

The season for Christmas seems to expand further out each year.   The ads, the decorations, the music are seen and heard before Thanksgiving often. The gift giving for me has changed.  I give less out of obligation.  I have, for the first time, a less excited feeling about the whole social idea of Christmas. The haves, have […]

It is the Christmas season as the month of December moves onward towards the end of the year.  It is a season of celebrating for many. Many get caught up in gifts; shopping, wrapping, socializing, festivities and togetherness. It can feel like a special time of year.  A time of goodwill and cheer; kindness and […]

I’m ‘stealing’ this from a woman who was Head of Volunteers for a Hospice Company in my community.  She has the biggest heart, most kind soul and gives of herself like I have seen no other give.  She is a special friend and lady.  I am blessed to know her. She writes:  “A story that makes sense to me […]

There is a whole lotta, lotta going on… Many are sick.   Some are in huge change in their lives whether it be on the job front, the home front and/or relationship front.  Some are stuck but know that they no longer can live in the manner that they are experiencing life.  We are all experiencing […]
