Listen. Be very still. Listen again… Do you hear that slight rustle in the trees? That’s autumn. She’s pushing in – almost without notice. She’s strong, she’ll make it. Yes, summer is holding on here in Charleston with all he’s got. It’s hotter than blazes and twice as humid. Still…if you hold your head just […]
I just talked with my mom. I’m sure I don’t do that often enough to suite her; she’s a mom after all. As tradition dictates, we both went through our litanies of activities for the upcoming weeks. Her comment, as always, was that I travel soooooo much. Hmmm…Do I? Or is it simply her perspective […]
This is a wee bit of mind expanding writing as a diversion from the norm. I hope you enjoy it. I often find myself between two worlds. They are not any specific two realities. Well, I should say that one remains the same, the third dimensional world my children refer to as the pizza […]
At this time of the year, here, in the US, freedom is the dominant theme of the season. We think about our military. We think about all the people that don’t have the freedoms we do. We think about sacrifice and compromise for the greater good. It is an important part of our humanity to […]
Upon returning home from a delightful evening with friends and after a quiet respite on the porch with kitties, I turned on TV for a bit a distraction. I didn’t want any drama so landed on Oprah’s Master’s Class. Justin Timberlake was speaking. I watched thinking it would give me some insight to the whole […]
Very early this morning, I sat perfectly still staring into the darkness. Everyone knows you can’t make noise before dawn. It is rude and is sure to disturb Mother Nature. I was gently comforted by the sound of the coffee maker as tears streamed down my cheeks. My mind was reviewing all the women in […]
A few days ago I saw a video on FB that made me smile. It was a home video of a young boy dancing in his room. His dad knocked on the door, and then came in. He was overweight, dressed in sweat pants and looked rather scruffy and unremarkable. The boy thought his dad […]
Most mornings I meditate. As I’m getting into the heart of my meditation, I acknowledge all the aspects of myself with love and appreciation. There are many aspects to us. I keep it simple; Physical Consciousness, Emotional Consciousness, Metal Consciousness and Soul Consciousness. Then I ask what vibration of healing we are focused on for […]
Last Friday was Saint Valentine’s Day though in our culture of shortcuts, we dropped the Saint sometime ago. Poor guy. He brought the focus of love into our lives and we forget about him because it is too much to say. I hope kind and loving teachers are still mentioning him in grade schools. Saint […]
I just went out to brunch by myself. The hostess asked me if I would like a booth or a window seat. It was fantastic not being treated like a leper being a single person dining alone. The food was tasty. The experience was pleasant. As I looked around, there were several others sitting by themselves. […]
I have been blessed with intuitive foresight to plan my week so that I would have a lot of quiet in the mornings with the filling and emptying of the moon and with the early sunset. The quiet has been a gift. This is the dark of the year, a time when we naturally and […]
We are deep into the holiday season and I am just coming up for air. There has been a lot of completion and a lot of fresh starts. I guess I’ll just say, there’s been a lot of living going on. Even though my head is up, I am not sure where I am or […]
