Thought for the Season: You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things; a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. [ Borrowed] Guard your peace this holiday. May we be kind to ourselves and to others as we navigate the self-imposed complexities of the season. AsContinue reading “Friday’s Whisper”

Wednesday’s Wisdom
This morning I came across a clip on a post from ‘Turning Point’. It resonated so much with me – I think it’s worth repeating. This is a lesson I was taught a few years back as I discovered how we allow others to take us to unhealthy places. We give people permission to makeContinue reading “Wednesday’s Wisdom”
Less of That
This morning I went walking along my usual route. I love walking. As I breathed in the fresh morning air, I reflected on the number of times I’d walked that road- worried. Days when there were more questions than answers. Slowly I began to realize, everything that held me captive those days were no longerContinue reading “Less of That”
The Remarkable Kind
As a sister girl, the word ‘submission’ can be disconcerting. Why? Your guess is just as good as mine. Maybe it’s because, like many, I hate feeling like a caged bird. It could also be what I’ve observed in human behavior when some are granted power. For some reason, me submitting to you quickly translatesContinue reading “The Remarkable Kind”
Healing For My Soul
As a young teen I journaled to unburden my soul. The pages and the pen were my beloved companions – they gave me a safe place to say what I couldn’t say verbally. Today, over four decades later – writing still allows me empty myself. Frees me of caged emotions that could eat away atContinue reading “Healing For My Soul”
In the Midst of It All
“PEACE. The place I’ve learned to live. Not because there are no storms, but I’ve found that there’s indeed peace in the midst of it all. Not because there are no wars within and without. Despite the conflicts that rage on – I’ve found a place where I am unmoved. I sit at YOUR feetContinue reading “In the Midst of It All”
Beautiful Mix
‘Food is the way to my heart. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is. Food is our common ground, a universal experience. There is no love sincerer than the love of food. AllContinue reading “Beautiful Mix”
Releasing Control
I wish aging was optional – don’t you? It’s not, but maturing certainly is a choice. With the years come some hard learned lessons. One that has been truly real for me is discerning between the things I can change and those I cannot. Then knowing what to do this new found reality. It seemsContinue reading “Releasing Control”
For Peace Sake
My need to be ‘right’. Truthfully I’d rather be happy and at peace than to parade the fact that ‘I am right’. Being right is highly over rated . While I don’t think we should ignore or deny our personal values or convictions, there are such things as futile arguments. Those that accomplish nothing, drainContinue reading “For Peace Sake”
I’m Free
I’ve learned the art of saying no – no to them and no to me. I am free to do nothing and go nowhere, if I so choose. Guilt is no longer my bedpartner when I choose me. There are no apologies for not wanting to. Where ever I show up, I am there 100%.Continue reading “I’m Free”
