Journal of a journey through life, true love and lessons learned along the way.
I love to see a moment unfold before my eyes, so much so that I have the awareness to take it all in and appreciate it. As I am climbing into bed tonight, feeling fulfilled from the day, I hear the rain outside and realize how peaceful it is. Quiet rainfall, not a downpour, and... Continue Reading →
As I was driving home today I found myself daydreaming about smoking and how something that was so globally accepted is now an anomaly. At its peak in the 1960's 40% of the population smoked! Today only 14% of the population smokes and those that do are relegated to smoke out of sight. I was raised... Continue Reading →
"There's no hierarchy of pain. Suffering should not be ranked, because pain is not a contest. ...by diminishing my problems, I was judging myself and everyone else whose problems I had placed lower down on the hierarchy of pain. You can't get through your pain by diminishing it."Lori Gottlieb “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone”... Continue Reading →
I watched a TED Talk featuring Nigel Marsh on “How to make work-life balance work” and thought it was worth sharing as it inspired so many of my own thoughts and opinions on the topic.

This theme has been with me for weeks now and so here I go to give life to the theme. It is plaguing me with something pressing to say, to communicate, to shout from the rooftops...maybe. It is too obvious to suggest that what we, as a world, have gone through in the last three... Continue Reading →
And just like that it occurs to me. That I have indeed manifested this, the life I always dreamed of without realizing I was heading right for it. It just occurred to me this morning as I was finishing a 12-week program via the "The Artist's Way", that everything that I have done for the... Continue Reading →
As I write this I am 72 hours from my 49th birthday or maybe better said, 72 hours from the completion of my 48th year on this earth. I am still searching for a lot of things but most ominous is the search for contentment. There is something about the "9"s that get our attention... Continue Reading →
