  • Seeking Normal – Day 4

    Day 4 prompt: What is the normal I am longing for? My answer: This one is easy. I long for a day that I am not ridden with anxiety that I cannot define. I long for a day that I end the day feeling inspired and not exhausted. I long for a day when I…

  • Seeking Normal – Day 3

    Day 3 prompt: The Urban Dictionary defines normal as “A word made up by this corrupt society so they could single out and attack those who are different.” What is your reaction? My answer: Well this strikes up quite a bit of emotion as the word “attack” will always strike a chord. I am familiar…

  • Seeking Normal – Day 2

    Day 2 prompt: Consider the antonyms for normal, abnormal, exceptional, odd, out-o-the-ordinary, strange, unusual, extraordinary. Are they better or worse than normal? Do they describe you?

  • Seeking Normal – Day 1

    Last year we published a prompt journal called “Seeking Normal” after a journal entry I had written about my journey to get back to normal after losing my Mom. It was in that journey that I began to understand that this “normal” I was searching for likely never existed. My original post can be found…

  • Who are you…really?

    This moment in our lives when everything we thought “was” “is” we are faced with many questions about life and who we are. We walk around in this world in “roles” as defined: the function assumed or part played by a person or thing in a particular situation When that assumed function or part is…

Time has lost all meaning; when does it end, how does it end…there are no answers. We have been given no choice but to sit,…

    In my reading this morning I find myself searching for the “right thing” to write about in these very difficult moments. Our world has changed, regardless of the similarities each of us has experienced a monumental shift in the lives we were living two weeks ago. It is with this sensitivity that I find myself…

  • Epiphany aka AHA moments

    Oprah made famous the “Aha moment” as she would interview a lifetime of people. As they would say something that would inspire her she would stop them, calling it an “aha moment” and then marinate on the thought. Call it an “aha moment” or an “epiphany”, whatever it is called these are the places where…

  • Give it Time…literally

    It will come in time, if you give it time… This is a reminder that all things worth having are worth waiting for but more importantly they are also worth time. While we are setting our intentions it is not enough to “set it and forget it”. To state the intention is the first step…

  • Validation…an autobiography

    Today’s dose is about the concept of validation. The definition revolves around; checking, proving or affirming a persons truth. In this day and age of social media there is much to be said about the public validation that we seek when we post on social media. We post to share but we also post to…
