To Live Happy
One day last year, I was in a local shop perusing their candle selection, when on my way out the door, I saw a heart shaped dish that said, “Be Happy”. It caught my eye because of the heart shape and was carved from wood which added a warm touch. The image of that little…

In Awe of the Moment
You know I’m feeling better when I slip on a sarcastic saying t-shirt and go for a walk. That will be the one time you bump into a neighbor you’ve never met before and they’ll want to stop and chat, but you hold firm to no apologies for the shirt. Afterwards, I really wanted a…

Life is Designed to be Fun
There are pieces of me that are trying to find their way home. Over time little pieces fall away, or become buried by circumstances, but if they truly want to live in your heart, they’ll find their way back. For this to happen, we need to slow the pace, so stillness is on the schedule…
