Faith in Fate
I have so many words, I don’t know where to start. Many years ago, I was one of a handful of people privileged enough to be called to our church for the “washing of the feet”. It was a time in my life that held great meaning for me –…
Doing It My Way
Happy 2023! I hope you’re all having a great start to the New Year. Here I am in sunny (windy) Isla Mujeres, having the most creative spurt I’ve had in many months. 2022 felt like a whirlwind. A rollercoaster of emotions and change that happened so quickly, it felt out…
Life in the Midst of Loss
My first blog post for 2022 and on my new website. I’m so excited! Time has just flown, hasn’t it? And in that six month period since I last wrote, my life has changed in so many ways. In February, I found the courage to walk away from a work…
2021: The Year that Was
Merry Christmas! Hope the clean up wasn’t too bad – that the messy dishes weren’t overwhelming and you ate all that desert by yourself. Hope you also had the presence of mind to keep a large garbage bag close as the kids opened up their presents. Hope you went to…
All in Due Time
I’ve been out of words for weeks. Full of thoughts and ideas and musings but my words are nowhere to be found. Which alarms me greatly – because I’ve circled the cycle of life in the past few weeks with nothing to show for it but a head full of…
THANK YOU, NYC!
It was a last minute decision – but when told about this once in a lifetime opportunity, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be there in person? Before that, I’d been booking and canceling trips since March -despite envying my friends who seemed to be traveling freely. So…
Life in the Season of Hope: Part III – Starting Over
It’s Memorial Day weekend and I have so much to tell you. But first, I thought I’d finish off this trilogy before I move on to my next post. Besides, this is going to be short one – I’m only ten days in with my new job, so there’s not…
Life in the Season of Hope: Part II – Walking Away
Do you know that “dog ate my homework” excuse that’s been in play since time immemorial? Well, you won’t believe this, but weeks ago, I wrote this blog post and lost it when the power went out. It was so thoughtfully crafted, I didn’t know how to recreate it. But…
Life in the Season of Hope: Part I – Out of the Dark
HAPPY EASTER! I can’t believe it’s been months since I’ve written. Not that I’ve run out of words. I have so much to say, but it’s been difficult, trying to get my thoughts into words when I’d been working with words all along. So much has happened in the past…
The Gift of 2020
Can you believe it’s that time of the year again? 2020 will be over in two weeks! And despite the monotony and routine of the past nine months, the holidays have managed to sneak up on us. This should be a time of celebration, of retrospect and gratitude for the…
