Prepare the Mind
I learned quickly that the homemade hummus doesn’t stay fresh nearly as long as store bought because there’s no preservatives. I cut the recipe in half to make a smaller batch that could be eaten within 3 to 5 days and I’m still enjoying my morning smoothie and the occasional London Fog. Last Wednesday, I…

The Age of Endless Possibilities
I have a tendency to go, ‘all-in’, on whatever I choose to do, but thankfully, with age, I’m reminded there are steps. Learning something new in reverse is where I find myself with watercolors, but I had to relax and soften my ‘can do’ attitude. I got reeled in on Instagram by a watercolor book…

Clean and Clear
I was familiar with the noise coming from the corner of the bedroom, and trying to focus my gaze toward that area, I didn’t see anything, but could hear it. Glancing at the double windows it wasn’t even light outside, so this clicking sound had pulled me from a deep slumber. I dozed in and…

The Oxygen Mask
It’s 8:30 am and I’ve been sitting at this desk since 7, giving quick glances toward the clock hanging on the wall. Morning pages are complete and I’m sipping a cup of instant Espresso while listening to a book by Robin Sharma entitled, “The Everyday Hero”. Hearing his voice read the book soothes my soul…

Someday
I’ve been reading a book recommended by my therapist entitled, The One Thing, and it was written by a local Realtor. In Texas everyone has heard of the Realty company, Keller-Williams, but I didn’t realize Gary Keller had a writer in him. Now, granted, he shares a lot about business and leadership, but there’s this…

The Watering Can
On Monday’s, a friend and I Marco Polo one another just to stay connected and current in each other’s life. She’s going through a season I traveled through 10 years ago and even though hers is unraveling differently, the end result will be the same. During one of our Marco Polo exchanges she said, “At…

Hear Myself Living
It’s okay to change your mind. I change mine over something almost every day and I think being adaptable smooths the rough edges of change. Even though I didn’t plant any flowers in the ground this year, it didn’t stop me from having flowers. There’s something inside of me especially this time of year that…

Say Yes to Rest
The learning to rest thing is not easy, but it’s worth every effort given. I see ancient patterns resistant to change because they’ve been with me for a lifetime. As a child I don’t recall taking time for rest. Mama kept us busy because she believed if we had too much time on our hands…
