Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

Intuitive

  • Where I find myself this Friday afternoon

    Or at least I think its Friday…quite frankly, I really have no idea what day it is anymore. COVID quarantine on the heels of retirement joined together with a personality that was always busy living my job and filling my day’s off with sanity recovery, chores and rules. One would think having no rules, no Read more

  • The challenge of “Z”

    Back many zears ago when I was introduced to Scrabble…. I groaned when I pulled the letters Z and Q. In my head, I zhink ok…I’m zunk. At least if you picked up a U with a Q there was hope. One day after a particularly irritating game of X, Q and Z, I googled Read more

  • Opinions and perspectives

    Just a few days after I assumed the geese were rounding up their belongings and moving on to where ever these geese winter, I wake this morning to….. In a lesson in perspective this afternoon, I was up on the deck taking this video when the basement door opened and he strolled out to see Read more

  • Fear burning like a flame in the cellar

    My friend, Terri, posted this on Facebook this morning The author understood what so many of us are learning…. I look back at my life and realize how exhausted I have been fighting for everything! I really thought that was how to be successful. Never satisfied, I always felt I needed to do better, to Read more

  • chocolate stars theory

    I used to joke (ok…not really a joke) that the best way to eat chocolate (like those chocolate stars that used to be available in movie theaters but now may be bought in bulk from a buy-your-stuff-in-bulk-store) was to stuff my mouth full of that melty chocolate until it began to seep out of the Read more

  • The answers I seek

    Being brought up in a “heavy handed” discipline environment, I learned my lessons well. I have grown out of the need to berate my parent(s)for their personal rules of discipline. They were teaching me the way they were taught and perhaps with a little mental illness in the mix. With that being said, I think Read more

  • My East Window

    I have never been a morning person, although most of my adult life I have been “forced” by my choice of employment to embrace the morning…either as an overnight employee embracing the sunrise just before bedtime or waking with the sunrise to begin my day. I can think of a handful of sunrise moments where Read more

  • Viewing from a different perspective

    Looking outside the box. Think differently, unconventionally or from new perspective. Drawing from negative space. When drawing, you need to forget the “name” of objects and what you think you “know” about them and simply see them as shapes among groups of interlocking shapes. My “A Course in Miracles“ Lesson today is there is another Read more

  • This idea of having boundaries….

    It’s a concept I’m just learning to actually HEAR. On this incredibly personal journey I started so many years ago, I stopped at every crossroad in order to re-evaluate right, left, forward or often screaming NO and running back from where I had come. The thought of creating boundaries was always the one thing causing Read more

  • Ah-ha moments

    The beauty, release and growth in ah-ha moments is breathtaking! It was a Monday night in June after a particularly difficult (for me) spirit group discussion, a nights sleep that I don’t recall dreaming, and morning pages with my green gel ink pen that the honest truth came vomiting out! The actual details are unimportant Read more
