Looking back, knowing what you know now, can you see connections? Jobs you disliked at the time that have equipped you with skills you're glad you have now? Relationships that gave you input for what you don't prefer, and what you do?
Life is Perfect
I think life has a way of revealing key turning points to us, and signals, or guidance, if you will, of what to do along the way. Kind of like when you realize you've had the pattern of waking in the middle of the night at 0330 for so long but not utilized the energy … Continue reading Life is Perfect
The Old Mule in the Well
Had to share this one, a friend of mine retold it to me earlier today and I simply could not stop my giddy-smile inside. It's a good one! A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' -or-whatever mules … Continue reading The Old Mule in the Well
Thoughts of a Walkabout Day
It's amazing to me what we will find if we are simply paying attention. I have a love/hate relationship with incredibly full days. I am praying for God to give me the energy for the busy ones, and the patience for the quiet ones. The full ones leave me exhausted at the end, yet fulfilled. … Continue reading Thoughts of a Walkabout Day
The Simple Heart
a collaborative conversation Dear one, you are still a child. Don't look at this in terms of a maturity level judged by the world around you. This has nothing to do with your image but your relationship to Me. You are My child, ever-learning, ever-experimenting. You are a scientist, testing new hypotheses daily. Do not … Continue reading The Simple Heart

It's raining, it's pouring I threw on my sweats and hoofed it Out to see the day, headphones in ears What did I do with all of these years Internal speculations got me growing, got me breathing Tryna turn my mind off and start living, just start being Self care can be exhausting … Continue reading 12.17.2015
The Simple Life
Kids have it easy. Right? Can I get a show of hands as to all the "adults" reading who agree? It's rather amazing - from birth, they don't have to do anything to earn our love and affection, much less our care and attention. They simply ARE. They go through life, from day one, learning, … Continue reading The Simple Life
Broken, Yet Made Whole
Broken. It's easy to love broken people when we realize that we, too, are broken. When there's chaos, we must extend consideration. Compassion. When we realize how broken we are, don't mind broken places so much. We feel for them. Compassion. Empathy. Desire to help as there were those that helped us. But, how do … Continue reading Broken, Yet Made Whole
Fear, or Opportunity?
An excerpt from a lovely little book, Napkin Notes, by Garth Callaghan: "There were twin boys. They were young - probably around six. Although the boys were twins, their personalities were incredibly different. One was extremely happy and the other was extremely anxious. The parents took the boys to see a counselor. The counselor devised an exam. … Continue reading Fear, or Opportunity?
Prison?
The Happy Dialogue Dream: prison. Solo cell at first .. or is it? Solid concrete blocks painted white, dirty from years of existence - wait, are they solid? The walls are melting down. Is this a person talking to me, or is it an angel? I thought I was alone in here. Concrete walls that then … Continue reading Prison?
