Very Few Words
I have not posted in a few weeks, and I still don’t have words flowing to do so. But I am feeling a horrendous nudge (yes, horrendous) to say something since I am ignoring the even bigger nudge to post a few pictures and things that I never got around to doing in 2015. I …

Blessings and the Kindness They Bring
I have had many amazing things “happen” “to me” in the last few weeks. I put those in quotes because, well, I don’t believe that anything just happens, and since I believe I am a co-creator of my reality, nothing happens to me but instead with my participation. Yes, subtleties of word meanings are important. …

Honoring Uncle Joel
Many of you know my Uncle Joel, either because I post pictures of him when we visit, or because you’ve met him or I’ve told you about him. He loves to have his picture taken and is a great poser for the camera! You can see that from this picture can’t you? **smile** I really …

Plenty
It’s amazing how one word can bring you to your knees. Yesterday, I was talking to Puppy (yes, I do that all day each day), and was telling him there was plenty of something. I said it enunciated “Plen-ty” just like an ending sentence to an Elmo nursery rhyme that I had read to Erin …

All We Need Is Love (and yes, I’m singing that!)
How should I begin this one? Let’s see…I have undergone many changes lately…Just when I think the world is becoming a more positive place…Can’t everyone see how “they” are trying to divide us?…Ok, none of those capture anything remotely close to what I need to say, but, I can’t come up with anything that does. …

Missing Erin, Lots
Hmmmm…that was supposed to be me clearing my throat but still, words do not come out. I have wanted to write for over a week, but honestly, Halloween choked me up so that I could not speak much less write. I’m still reeling from the whole idea of it. It is amazing to me as …

Recap of Past Week and PSA
Where to start? I will just do my normal and blah blah blah everything at once! Hope you all can follow! First, I want to say that not a day goes by that I don’t cry, feel sadness, miss Erin, feel sorry for myself, or feel sadness or sorry for the myriad of you who …

Give a Little Bit
I caught myself smiling a few minutes ago and this guy is who I was smiling at. His name is Mr. Bean and he was rescued by the Southern California Bulldog Rescue. When they described how much better he is doing than before, it made me smile. I wonder every day why more kindness isn’t …

Digging Deeper
Whew, last week was some week. Energetically I mean. If you are in any way sensitive, “hard” energy weeks are much worse than physically demanding ones. They wear you out, wear you down, and in some cases wear you thin. If you do the work that it asks of you, though, you will find a …

Under the Exterior: Finding a Balance and Shouldering the Burden
I wasn’t exactly expecting to write today, but it seems that spirit just wanted to get it all out after reading a friend’s FaceBook post. This particular friend’s son died just about 6 months before Erin died, and it’s interesting how she posted exactly what I was feeling last night. Anyway, … The basis of …
