30 Days of Gratitude
Day 30: What talent or skill do you have that you are grateful for? When I first thought about the answer to this question, my mind came up with my ability to problem solve. Generally, I am the one who brainstorms ways to get out of a pickle and then takes action to make it…

Open Home and Hearts
Day 29: What friend/family member are you grateful for today? This is hardly a fair question as someone is bound to be offended if I do not say I am grateful for them. It would be an easy cop out to say ALL of my family and friends, which would be true. However, I am…

Day 20: Who in your life are you grateful for? While it might seem easy to say my husband since I write about him quite a bit, this one is difficult to choose just one person to be grateful for. They say it takes a tribe and that we are the sum total of our…

Letting Go…
“Therefore, a yogi has to adopt a peculiar and expectant attitude, like a servant awaiting his master. It is a state of relaxed preparedness. He remains poised and ever ready for an event which will occur inevitably in its own time. He accepts that to precipitate that event is not within his control or power,…

Day 17: What knowledge are you grateful for? Honestly, I am enjoying these gratitude questions as I find them to be thought-provoking. I mean when was the last time you considered being grateful for knowledge let alone a specific knowledge? 😛 As a person who hungers for knowledge as a way of coping with the…

Snapchat fun
Yesterday I decided to play around with making a story via Snapchat. For someone of my generation it is difficult to take “snaps” and not save them as we grew up saving photos – I mean actual pictures you can touch – then when digital format came out we still want to save them to…
