  • A Note of Appreciation

    Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to you as well. Voltaire This morning, I spent an hour attending a neighborhood meeting with the police from our district. It was a casual gathering at a community bagel shop. An opportunity to meet local officers and express both gratitude and…

  • Memories of Paris

    I like the Eiffel Tower because it looks like steel and lace. Natalie Lloyd Paris is always a good idea. Audrey Hepburn America is my country and Paris is my hometown. Gertrude Stein A few weeks ago, my husband asked if I would like to go back to Paris. It’s been several years since I…

  • Finding Peace

    The poem I chose for this post is a bit longer than usual. As a result, it will be both photo and quote for this week. The moment I read this poem, I fell in love with it and Mary Oliver. Worry is a reoccurring theme for me. I envy people who say they never…

  • Finding Peace Amid Chaos

    Roses From My Friend Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about. Rumi It’s one of those days when as I sit down to write, my mind cannot be corralled into one…

Katherine Graham What does an art exhibit poster and a quote by Katherine Graham have in common? Absolutely nothing. Other than, it’s been another challenging…

  • Leveling Up

    She’s creating a life of ease, peace, comfort and intentional happiness. It does not require struggle, stress and distress. It consists of boundaries, clarity and self-care. She will not deal with anything that causes her stress or brings negativity into her life. She’s leveling up. Unknown I am growing attached to the phrase, leveling up.…

  • Bouncing Back

    Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. Winnie-the- Pooh, A.A. Milne It’s been a rough start to the year. Making it worse, the snow and frigid temperatures seeming to go on endlessly. Spring appears to be a myth made up by hopeless optimists. That…

  • Dualities

    Key Note, M. Teraway The wisdom of the raven lies in its understanding of life’s dualities. Proverb I am fascinated by ravens. They are misunderstood, I feel. Often associated with death and the supernatural. On the other side, they are intelligent, social and devoted. The etching of a raven with a key creates an interesting…
