Advice from a Dog
I saw this quote and kept it to share. Plants teach me about life, but these two dogs living with me are also good teachers. Similar to plants, a lot of times I think I’m doing all the giving when in reality they give so much more than they receive, but I’ll continue to watch…

Uncross Our Legs
I was taught at a very young age to cross my legs when seated and this became an automatic action throughout my life. Working from home, whenever I sit down my right leg would instinctively cross over my left and stay there. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one morning while getting out of…

My friend SC Lourie shared this on her social media and I found it so interesting. 🧡

The Right Choice
One month later, I moved Rumi out of my bedroom because it was inconvenient sharing my space. I got tired of moving him to function and he didn’t look happy. Plants need to be around energy, so I moved him to the front of the house, which ironically is where he landed when I first…

The Broom for $6.95
It hangs on the third hook from the back door, but there for a while, it hung on a hook by the front door, so she could see it more often. She’s completely smitten with it even after one year later and it’s one of those things that gets better with age. Her neighbor thought…

Introducing My Son
On Saturday, I met my son and his fiancé for lunch. Some of you don’t even know I have a son, but yes, I had a baby in 1987, when I was 23, and was on track to what I was taught. Find a man. ✔️ Get married and buy a house. ✔️ Start a…

Cathedral of Calm
I opened the front door and stood in the doorway, breathing in the remnants of our early morning rain. The thunder didn’t awaken me at 5am…it was Denver standing at the front of the house, whimpering that pulled me from my slumber. A mother’s radar is always on, even with four-legged children. Slipping my feet…

The Sober Me
The chair was hard, thick plastic with metal legs and reminded me of the chairs from Sunday School, but it felt sturdier than me. My waist was expanding from my newfound pregnancy making clothes from a few months ago uncomfortable, so my clothing was loose. The room was filled with smoke and mainly men, but…

Sharing My Space
Standing by the large wooden table I heard a sound that no plant lover wants to hear. Rumi, my Asian Council tree had dropped two leaves. One on occasion is normal for his age and size, but two at the same time sounds the alarm! I knew he wouldn’t be happy long-term where he was…

Alador
This town is hosting their annual Easter Egg Hunt today and I thought about walking to the park to observe the festivities, but that thought didn’t last long. My nervous system can barely handle three screaming children, much less hundreds. I have grown accustomed to the 3 children next door, all under the age of…

Pajamas All Day
The dogs went wild, running and barking at the front door. I didn’t hear a sound while reading The Creative Cure, by Jacob Nordby and hadn’t realized it was after 10:00 am. The mail lady was dropping off my third and last pair of sneakers. Of course, I’m still wearing my pajamas, fuzzy robe and…

Ryze with Ease
At the end of February, I mentioned ordering Ryze Mushroom coffee and want to share my experience with it, so here we are. My goal was to have a healthier way to start my day and more gentle toward my body. My third shipment has processed and I just realized I haven’t purchased any coffee…

Make Me Tired
It’s still morning, but I spent most of my time with work, which is unusual for me, but the idea of getting it done and having the rest of my day open sounds phenomenal. It’s a cloudy, drizzly day, so stretched across the bed reading is on the agenda. I’m curious to know if you’ve…

33 Minutes
Last Spring I cleared out all of the shoes from the shelves in my wardrobe and if they hadn’t been worn in a year, they were donated. I was deep in a decluttering phase, but when keeping our utmost favorite things, that includes shoes, too. This cleared up a lot of space, so I’m doing…
