I’m Feeling A Sense of Renewal. This morning, I chose to begin with light. I stepped outside to sit on my porch, letting the sun warm me for fifteen quiet minutes. While I was there, my eyes landed on the Morning Glory I wrote about yesterday. Its simple presence remindedContinue Reading
Lately, I’ve noticed how often people, especially waitstaff, answer ‘perfect’ when I order something. And it drives me nuts. The conversation is the same…no matter where I go. “I would like some soda water.” Perfect! “I’d like the gluten-free pizza with non-dairy cheese and chicken.” Perrrrfect. I’ve always had aContinue Reading
Yesterday, we traveled to Gothic, Colorado, and spent the day playing and resting peacefully near the East river. The valley past Gothic is one of my favorite locations near Gunnison. Gothic is an old mining town that turned ghost town fairly quickly when the wire-silver discovery went bust. Now, it’sContinue Reading
Quote Box Wisdom My stepfather has a handmade wooden box that is filled with quotes he’s collected during his life written on index cards. I just pulled one out and this is the gem I received: “Whenever he thought about it, he felt terrible. And so, at last, he cameContinue Reading

“A healthy person has a thousand dreams, a sick person only has one,” Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. When I heard Secretary Kennedy say this, I realized that it instantly summed up the last 5 years of my life. When you are unhealthy, you don’t have the time to dream aboutContinue Reading
Are my choices today moving toward life, or am I just running from death? Is there another point of view to consider? Yesterday I read an article about that smell some older people develop. You know the one. I don’t want that signature scent to be mine as I getContinue Reading
I think addictions may start when connections end. In Human Design, my profile is that of an Opportunist/Role Model (4/6). All of my opportunities in life come from the connections I’ve made. It’s hard for me to end friendships, even when I should. Once I’ve connected to someone, its generallyContinue Reading
I asked a ChatGPT program called The Architect what my skin is trying to teach me. In 2020, when we were hit with the Covid lockdowns, both of my parents were diagnosed with cancer which ended up being terminal. My father lived here, near me, and my mother was inContinue Reading
