Several years ago I abandoned the New Year's resolution attempts for New Year's goals. And three years ago I abandoned New Year's goals for My One Word. I'm not going say one is better than the others, only that My One Word appealed to me. In fact, I think New Year's resolutions get a bad rap. Sure… Continue reading My One Word for 2015…and a Goal

2014 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,100 times in 2014.

Wrapping up 2014
It's hard to believe that in just two short days we'll be viewing 2014 and all of its cherished memories and experiences through the rear view mirror. While there are numerous quotes about the dangers of, and time wasted from, looking in the rear view mirror, I'm of the belief that it has its time and place. As… Continue reading Wrapping up 2014

An entertaining writing lesson. 🙂
The Present of Presence
The best lessons come from the most difficult trials, the most significant growth from when we're at our lowest. When we're filled with pride, the inevitable fall is hard. And so painful. But with humility comes peace. Yet It never ceases to amaze me that like the monster it is, pride rears its ugly head time and… Continue reading The Present of Presence

T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
The Week's Top Three: 3.) A brilliant pink cloud hanging in the evening sky. God's hand print. 2.) Learning limits on what I can take on and how to say "no" so as not to take away from my family, writing time, or recovery maintenance. 1.) Watching both of my boys working in my older… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
Timeout Tuesday
As I prepare to take on the whirlwind joy ride of NaNoWriMo Friday at midnight, I'm finding joy in taking deep breaths of relaxation this week. “Keep your faith in all beautiful things. In the sun when it is hidden. In the spring when it is gone.” — Roy Rolfe Gilson
Living with Intention
Life is often lived in such a rush, as if we're racing to get somewhere, that so many blessings go unnoticed. The only place we will get by racing through the day is one step closer to the end. I don't know about you, but I want to experience all that I'm given, tasting and savoring every morsel of the… Continue reading Living with Intention
