Be Present. Be Grateful. Believe. Become.
It’s been a busy few weeks full of fun family visits proceeded by a painful push to pack boxes. We are in the midst of a move of homes, maybe cities, and perhaps even countries. Change is coming. Despite not knowing what it entails, I’ve decided to like it anyhow. I’m embracing what’s coming without knowing what it is. And […]
It’s Friday the 12th, and I’m a few hours out from having left the surreal surroundings of a 7 day silent meditation retreat. Why I did it and what I learned is for another day. I’m still adjusting to the sensations of life moving at a normal pace, with usual sound. One thing you may not know, as I did […]
It’s been a week since I’ve videoed myself and let me tell you, it feels great not holding a camera. I’ve still been paying it forward, just quietly and privately. I’ve come to realize that helping to put smiles on the faces of strangers is more than something that I enjoy, it’s part of who I am. My Top Three […]
Sometimes I write during the week, and sometimes I wait until the end of the week. Today, I waited until today. Today marks the final day, day 365, of Paying It Forward and filming, editing, and scoring each day’s adventure to post to my YouTube channel. Today is cause for celebration. Not because something is over, but because something is […]
Tropical storm Florence is on its way and my parents who live on the coast of South Carolina have put their sacred belonging in the dishwasher (per Weather.com suggestions) and temporarily relocated to my sister’s house. The pending destruction, as we wait in anticipation of the the storm’s eye making landfall, is bizarre in nature because most natural disasters are […]
Hey good looking, what’s your sign? I know what you are thinking, is she trying to pick me up? Absolutely yes! I’m trying to pick you up in the way that a good friend tries to make you feel loved. I want to make sure that you know your signs so that when the Loving Universe gives them to you, you […]
This week was abnormally chaotic, and I found myself behind the wheel stressed and short-fused. I was late for a rare and cherished meeting with my accountability group of all people. I found myself cutting people off in effort to shave few minutes off the commute time. I didn’t like the anger with myself for being late and the anger […]
A few weeks back, after I knew that Lillybee was about to be sold, I prayed for insight (using the method I shared last week). It was bedtime, but before I crawled in, I laid down on the floor and became very clear about my intention, which was to go to sleep and wake with answers or at least a […]
Just yesterday, I drove 40 minutes to lay down on a bed for 20 minutes. 40 minutes there, 40 minutes back – all for 20 minutes of lying down. The bed rest was recommended by my most-amazing homeopathic doctor, who had recommended and I had done, a lot stranger things. See, this was a special bed. Actually no – the […]
We just returned from spending spring break in Colorado where we rented a car and adventured far and wide. What an amazing state with beauties unparalleled! One of the places we landed was the Gateway Canyon in the Palisades of Western Colorado. It was unanimously decided that this was the highlight of our trip. The kids loved the freedom, the free […]
