So close, but

What cities do you want to visit? I might want an Elf day in NYC. I have this wistful thought for a like minded friend to share a train ito the city with. To visit the MOMA and have lunch at a cozy cool restaurant in SoHo. To check out art whereever it’s up andContinue reading “So close, but”

Holiday Cookie saga

Is everyone baking their holiday favorites? Are your mom’s cookies something you wait all year for? Are your family’s recipes the best? Ours are! I hope yours are too! I love cookies. I’ve always been a fan of holiday baking. Maybe it’s the variety, maybe it’s the specialness of a once a year treat. MaybeContinue reading “Holiday Cookie saga”

My hope

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. I hope I don’t care what people say about me. Is this a trick question? I’ve been trying to learn the art of not caring for a while now! I’m being tested daily and it’s still hard. I try every day to be a goodContinue reading “My hope”

Not my thing

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Yeah, enough to know it’s not my jam I’m not a performer in any sense of the word. Im terrible at pretending to be any other way than how I am. If only I had that gift… What you see is what you get. CorrespondingContinue reading “Not my thing”

Yet we are on the road to the far away hospital. It all feels very heavy and very serious. The farContinue reading “Twists and turns”

Kind action

What is something others do that sparks your admiration? Something that sparks admiration. I admire others when they are kind. When they go out of their way or just step up and respond kindly. I’ve seen this often and it always warms my heart and makes me love my fellow humans all the more. WeContinue reading “Kind action”

Strength

Today’s yoga was themed around a story about dharma. Its an interesting topic for me especially lately. I know when I first learned the term dharma, I was charmed by the concept, but a little stressed about how I would figure out mine. It seemed like a quest. A mystery that some people had alreadyContinue reading “Strength”

Bugs bunny

What’s your favorite cartoon? I think classic bugs bunny. When I watched it recently, I was amazed at the clever references and all the classical music. I love that as a kid I didn’t know what I was listening to, but ended up with a life long love of opera and orchestra music. I’m talkingContinue reading “Bugs bunny”

Trying to defend or explain

What could you do less of? Last night I somehow got myself involved in a conversation about intuition with a handful of intuitive people. One woman was a Native American Shaman. At one point she turned to me and said that I didn’t have to explain myself out of fear that I might not beContinue reading “Trying to defend or explain”
