Spark Your Heart
I’ve taken time this week to pay attention to what sparks my heart. I went into town for a haircut and walking back to my truck I pondered, “What would water your heart on the way home?” I drove straight to my happy place, Hill Country Water Gardens. Walking through this time of year is…

I’m clearing out the draft folder as a part of my Sacred Bow for this year. I wrote about Sacred Bow in 2020 on another blogsite, but it’s so much more than one post. For me it’s a practice that starts the first of November and runs through the end of the year. I’ll be…

The Tree
My landlord is having Arborists come out and give estimates on trimming the trees. Whoever thought to build this house in the middle of these Spanish Oak trees wasn’t thinking far ahead. This house was built the same year I was born, and just like the trees, we humans have the opportunity to grow. I…

The Right Way
In a world of automation, I love making the Golden Cup and am so pleased that I bought a coffee maker to enjoy during these cooler months. This morning it’s 47°F here in Texas, (WooHoo!), and here’s a few things I’ve noticed that it doesn’t do, compared to regular coffee makers. It Doesn’t Have a…

Different in Me
My birthday was Saturday, the same day as the solar eclipse. I drove to one of my favorite coffee shops/bakery and ordered a Dirty Horchata to drink and of course, CAKE! Then, I walked next door to one of my favorite shops and fell in love with a candle to bring home. My truck was…

A Good Gasp
I have three pairs of sneakers used during the day and spend a lot of my morning looking for the right pair for what I wish to do. The yard shoes are strictly for working in the yard and filthy, so there’s no telling where I stepped out of them last. The indoor sneaker suits…

Better Done Than Perfect
I thought about turning it off before slipping into bed, but left it on. The ceiling fan above the bed is still set for summer cooling, but I’m not sure summer is still here. This morning when my feet touched the floor, it felt cool and so did the temperature of the bedroom. The fan…

The Golden Cup
I published this post and pulled it back into drafts to rewrite it because it wasn’t meant to be about coffee. It’s about life and similar to the quality in a cup of coffee, the quality of life is in how you make it. I really did buy a new coffee gadget and am still…

Do It Afraid
One of the best definitions for courage I’ve heard is: “Courage-Going forward in the face of fear.” To be fearless doesn’t mean the absence of fear, but breaking the word in half reveals it’s true meaning: “Fear Less.” Does the life you’re living give you chills? It should. Next Saturday I’ll be 59 years old…

No What If’s
There’s a small, wooden sign hanging above my typewriter. As I type out those early morning thoughts by the light of a new day it serves as a reminder with the words, “Live a Good Story.” I’ve tried my best to live a life of no regrets. It hasn’t been perfect, but instead of regretting…

Out of Darkness
The paint was wearing off of the front porch exposing the bare wood to the elements. A friend advised that my landlord needs to protect his investment, so I took her comment to heart and emailed him with photos of the sad shape it was in. He replied with, “Is there any paint?” I had…
