This is one of the those weeks. Have you ever had one of those when you need one more of you? Some things can’t be delegated. So here I am squeezing in a few minutes to connect with my WP village and others who take the time to read the reflections of my heart. AsContinue reading “In My Eyes”

This Pain
Many of us might have noticed that some of our millennials and Gen Zs are deliberately opting not to have children. At least, not in their twenties. Their reasons and stories vary. I hear them and no judgement here. However, I’ve lived long enough to see and hear the stories of regrets expressed by seniorsContinue reading “This Pain”
How Sweet it is…!
The title of this popular 1960’s song ‘How sweet it is to be loved by you‘ truly captures how many teachers in our county felt this week. We were celebrated and, at my school, well fed. Most of us don’t do this to be seen or even praised. We show up simply because we loveContinue reading “How Sweet it is…!”
Pure Joy
One of the millennials in my life recently shared this picture. The moment I saw it, my immediate response was ‘pure joy’. This was laughter that came from a deep place. I didn’t get permission to share her name, so I’ll call her ‘ Serenity’. This was a moment filled with true joy. ‘Serenity’ madeContinue reading “Pure Joy”
Wisdom Speaks
I remember her then; filled with vigor and vitality – quiet, calm and filled with love and wisdom. It was 1978– that was 45 years ago. Where did the time go? Today she’s 83 years old. Staring at her picture, I wondered what consumed her thoughts back then. Probably, she was concerned about her 4Continue reading “Wisdom Speaks”
Tangled Pieces
Some days my heart and mind feel like a tangled mess. Through my lens, life can appear unfair and perplexing. Like Job in the scriptures, I wonder why things go the way they do when I do my best to do the right thing. Such was my state of mind when I had this candidContinue reading “Tangled Pieces”
Perfect Strength
Certainly, if we are looking here on earth for perfect strength– in these human vessels, we will be sadly disappointed. We find ourselves unable to do right when it truly matters, the seeming unfixable in life stumps us sapping what little energy we have. We come face to face with the limitations of being humanContinue reading “Perfect Strength”
Watch Your Ears
Some years ago, I sat in a managers’ meeting along with the company director and my immediate supervisor. As the meeting was coming to an end an employee’s name became the subject of the conversation. At that time our division was numbers and performance driven; quality control was also extremely important. As the conversation draggedContinue reading “Watch Your Ears”
When Feelings Fail
We had to take a 3-hour drive yesterday for a bittersweet event. A loved one was laid to rest, but we got to see others we hadn’t seen in ages. I drove straight without even a bathroom break. A message popped up on my car’s dashboard, ‘Would you like to stop for a coffee break?’Continue reading “When Feelings Fail”
Needing Both
There’s a very popular saying in my native Island: ‘ New broom sweep clean, but old broom knows all di corners’. This is commonly used in the workplace to refer to new management taking control of a company and at times making sweeping changes, while those with more experience at that company tend to haveContinue reading “Needing Both”
