Golden
He said my journey to wellness wouldn’t be a straight line. That there would be ups and downs…good days and not so good. Patience…dear Lord this takes patience, but mainly with myself as I learn to eat kale and actually enjoy the taste sauteed in olive oil with some minced garlic near the end. I…

Just for Fun
Jacob Nordby posted this and they’re fun, so I wanted to share. When you gaze at the letters, what words jump out at you? Some of mine are Grow, Flow, Manifest, Rest, Slowdown, Surrender and Transform. The longer you look, the more you’ll see. What words rise up to you? Feature Photo by Daiga Ellaby…

The Long Stop
Last week, I began seeing a new therapist. The one I started seeing last June, became more of a friend than a guide, which is okay, but once that line is crossed, a change is good. I’m pretty sure my new therapist doesn’t know what to do with me yet. She sends me worksheets to…

A Safe Haven
I’ve never spent any time in my backyard. All of the planning and planting is usually poured into the front, but this year that changed. One reason was the back porch/deck was falling apart and wasn’t safe to stand on, much less use, so I began talking with my landlord about it and sent him…

Let Someone Else
“I’ll do it myself”, was the most commonly used phrase throughout my life. It became my trademark to the point where people assumed I was up for the task no matter the difficulty. When I turned 50 years old, I stretched out across the bed for a quick nap and woke up 3 hours later.…

A Vintage Soul
I love vintage items. Even if I buy something new it feeds my heart more if it has simple lines with a vintage flair. My favorite flower is the Hydrangea and I do a lot of my writing on a vintage typewriter, so things from the past feed my soul. I enjoy doing things by…

Slowly Fading Away
To the beautiful soul who has lost their spark. To the soul whose get up and go, has went and truly gone. This is for you. This is to remind you, that you don’t have to be everything to everyone, every day. You didn’t sign up for that. Remember when you used to laugh, sing…

Don’t Rush the Seasons
I did something completely out of character. I made a purchase even though it’s not quite time to use it. Of course, I could go ahead and use it, but there’s a peculiar sweetness in the anticipation of holding off until the right time. Twice a year I go in search of a wreath for…

What a Saturday Morning Feels Like
I did something this morning that I haven’t done in a very long time. I sat down in one of the overstuffed Parson chairs, grabbed my red throw to cover my legs and read a few pages from a book that’s laying on my table of books. I believe a writer should be surrounded by…

Slow is Free
I was walking the neighborhood, and saw some friends outside, so stopped to say hello. One had a question about tea filters, and the best method for loose-leaf teas. When describing the type bag I use, her husband began nodding his head, like he could envision what I’d described. He said, “I’ll just order some…

All Is Calm
I walked into my local bakery to take a break. When working from home you need to take breaks outside of the home. It does wonders for your sanity and the people around you will be thankful. While waiting for my drink, I perused the shelves of merchandise. My eyes fell onto this coffee mug…
