Solving Problems

That is maybe what life is about? One example: Canada geese Big problem. Huge. I forget until, there they are again. Way down by the water, far far from the house. The neighbors are all annoyed. Nobody wants them messing up their grass. G read that they don’t like laser pointers. (Whoever discovered this wasContinue reading “Solving Problems”

A Little Reminder

Wasn’t it Ram Dos who said ‘We are just walking each other home’ Here we are just living our lives. Did I agree before landing here on earth on some of it? Am I making parts of it up? Do people come and go with purpose? I like to believe that its all a giantContinue reading “A Little Reminder”

Hints of summer

Warmer days, short thunderstorms, ice cream, flowers, evening gardening and fresh cut grass. Sand, salt water, sunscreen and bug spray. Summer is almost here! It’s easy to forget the charm of this little town when bitter cold weather lingers, but then, as if over night, the flowers and foliage take over. The sun shines longContinue reading “Hints of summer”

What if…

…we really can wake up and live within what is, but better? What if our present reality has everything we need to live our best life. What is circumstances don’t have to change, because our perspective can? So, there I was, just the other day, reeling from a number of uncomfortable things, when someone decidedContinue reading “What if…”

Not to be dramatic…

Since Spring and Winter merged this year in New England, it should be no surprise that its 46 and raining again. Gray skies, wind off the sea, rattling windows, the whole thing. It’s Memorial Day weekend. According to my weather ap, summer isn’t even around the corner. No summer weather is coming soon for us.Continue reading “Not to be dramatic…”

I Am In

Here is my little painting on the wall in a little gallery in New London. I have my toe in the door. Its not easy to break into a new art scene. Plus the pandemic changed everything, art is no exception. I was pleasantly surprised that all four of the local area galleries were puttingContinue reading “I Am In”

A Little Magic

I am learning to notice. I am learning to appreciate little things that often get overlooked because they are wedged between obvious noticable problematic things. This is my new super power. Yesterday was one of those days. Cold, gray, Monday. No one seemed to be in a good mood. Even at yoga. I think theContinue reading “A Little Magic”

Today

I’m going to talk about rejection. It happens. Usually for reasons that we never fully understand. Truly, I think its pretty common. There are many careers that have it built into them. Sales, writing, music, acting, art. But also just getting a job, college acceptance. Making friends…Life is full of chances for us to gambleContinue reading “Today”

Advice/Ahimsa

I don’t like to give advice, but I wish I’d given myself this a long while ago. Something like, if it feels uncomfortable don’t do it. Or If you can’t avoid, wear a warm coat Stay out of the wind, and when you can’t, wear a hat. Don’t cross paths with wolves or coyotes orContinue reading “Advice/Ahimsa”

The Bridge is Blocked

There is another way but its really long. I can’t make it in time. Its a good metaphor. On days with more time, I might have gone around. I don’t know what is on the other side, though. It might be blocked also. A sudden change of plan. Since arriving in New England this isContinue reading “The Bridge is Blocked”
