We’ve had a few rough days down here in the trenches. It’s New England cold and especially so in the wind by the water. The stress of things has everyone feeling under the weather. 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”

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”

Early in January I attended an event that was very fun and very positive. It had a running theme ofContinue reading “Reflecting positively”
They’re out there
Do you ever see wild animals? I love that I see wildlife most everyday. Usually birds, but coyotes, squirrels, deer and rabbits are common. We saw a cougar one night. I’ve also seen possums, skunks, raccoons, even a occasional swan or snake. I don’t live in a nature area or anything, in CA we areContinue reading “They’re out there”

Do you have favorite places you have visited? Where? In no particular order, Kenya, Paris, Rome, Ireland, San Francisco, Sedona, San Luis Obispo, Fredrickberg, NYC, Boston, Wethersfield. All these places I would visit again and again. Also I have never really lived, only visited.
One thing?!
What is one thing you would change about yourself? Oh hmmm, I can’t choose. I’m maybe like one of those houses that just needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. One thing? It won’t make much of a difference, so I’m going to stick with accepting myself as is, not beingContinue reading “One thing?!”
