The truth is this week has been emotionally mind-boggling, which I suppose could be considered a mixed metaphor. I had a dream early last week that I was standing on a wall and watching floodwaters rise. The water was churning and muddy, but I knew that it would soon be rising over my feet. Rather […]

Looking Back To Move Forward
Some fantastic things are happening in my life right now. Meaning I’m either laughing with delight or on my knees with gratitude in my heart and tears running down my cheeks or both at the same time! Because I gain understanding and insight when I share my thoughts and ideas with others, I first want […]
Jubilee
When I was pondering my upcoming birthday and how to celebrate, I felt discouraged. Turning the big 5-0 is not exactly seen as a positive thing with ‘over the hill’ decorations and products for aging adults. But I had struggled to be kind to myself in my thoughts and didn’t want to promote any idea […]
1st Atomic Submarine Party!
We planned our party to celebrate the launching of the 1st Atomic Submarine for January 24th. Invited a few friends but nobody could come this time, so the kids and I had fun making our ‘sub’ sandwiches… ‘Dunking’ our veggies in hummus and ranch dip… enjoying root beer ‘floats’ and mini donut ‘life preservers’ for […]

Be Honest
Let me begin by saying that I believe honesty is important. Being honest is part of my faith, part of my upbringing, part of who I want to become and how I want to improve myself. I have a dilemma however, sometimes I hate being honest. This weekend I was invited to celebrate a brand […]
The Ugly Truth
The truth is that we often feel the need to sugar coat the ugly truth. Why is this? I know I do it – sometimes to protect people I love, sometimes to protect myself, sometimes to protect a favorite illusion. Today I filled out a health survey from my new insurance company. Based on my […]
Today is my daughter’s birthday. We have had a good week together, enjoying spring break with family in Arizona where we took every opportunity to celebrate her birthday in fun and silly ways. This morning was the official day she was born and I took a few moments to reflect on that day 14 years […]
Sick
Heartsick, sick with a fever, sick of work, sick in the head, sick as a dog… So many ways to be mentally and physically not well. Everyone I know is either getting sick, being sick, getting over being sick, caring for someone who is sick or trying to avoid everyone who is sick so they […]
