Slowly Moving On….
The other day, for the first time, I voiced the words I have written about my thoughts on feeling as if there must be more purpose to my life than what I am currently doing. It is not a matter of being dissatisfied nor is it a sense of being lost. It’s not a midlife…

Writing for Purpose…
Some months ago I had a six month plan to write a series of articles on how to find peace & calm in our busy world focusing on meditation. Part of the plan was to interview women in the field of spirituality & wellness. However, this did not really happen because I realized that I…

Impermanence
The days are getting warmer even though it remains cold outside. Spring is coming. Just this morning we were reminiscing on the fact that it seems like we just saw the leaves fall off the trees, and now the soft green buds are forming in preparation for the spring blossoms. When I see this, I…

The F Word
Yesterday, I wrote about my dark mood thinking that it was ‘frustration’, but that didn’t quite seem to fit. As I let it sit for the night and enjoyed being “lazy” for an evening, it freed my mind to be able to reflect and relax. This morning, during my meditation, a more accurate explanation came…

Taking in the Moments
This morning as I begrudgingly prevented myself from feeling annoyed by my husband’s late schedule, in other words his presence and interruption to my daily routine, we were discussing life. Lately, we have both been quite busy and realized it would be quite easy to lose touch with one another. We thought about how having…

Perseverance Testing
The temperatures have continued to drop, although still not quite as cold as it could be at this time of year. However, there is just enough bite in the air to make the early morning rise a mental battle each day. With the exception of a few days (like today), I have managed to get…

Thank You Jet Lag
As I began to set my new goals for this year, I wondered how easy it would be to get into the routine I had laid out especially with a partner who loves to have a morning snuggle rather than get up and go. However, thanks to jet lag and no time to waste before…

Happy 2018
Another year begins with the usual hopefulness of what possibilities lay ahead. As I look back on all that I had laid out last year when time was my frenemy and naivety was embraced with the fervor of those who have no idea what is in store for them. Although I still owe the story…
