Today was a great day. My husband and I showed our kids how to hit a ball with a bat and how to catch a ball with a baseball mitt. They loved it. This evening after deciding what to do with the waning daylight, my daughter asked if she and I could go “play catch”. […]
How do you decide?
Hi, I have been away. I have returned. Where have I been? Great question. I have been filling myself with what life has to offer. I have been reminded of both its joys and its pains. I have been reminded that our passions can be borne of our love and our hate. I have seen […]
Time and Connection
Today I re-ignited my relationship with wristwatches. 10 years ago I stopped wearing one, after becoming acutely aware that I felt pressured and stressed by the accountability toward time. What time is it? Where do I have to be now? Do I have time for this? Sometimes I would find myself checking the time simply […]
Lucky You?
I recently had a conversation on the topic of luck. What is the difference between being lucky and being fortunate? I’ve been giving it some thought, and it strikes me that luck is something that occurs simply by chance and we are in the spot to receive it. Many might say winning the lotto is […]
What’s under there?
I tripped into something today that I would like to share with you. It is from Mark Nepo’s book “The Book of Awakening”. Beneath most headaches is a heartache. Often we find it easier to think our way around things rather than to feel our way through them: What can we do to pull ourselves […]

Random Confession #1: I have had a hard time getting out of my PJs since I spent two weeks on […]
The Gift of Horror
While cleaning my closet today (which came after cleaning my basement, pantry and crawlspace) I found a book I was planning to read. As I brought it out of the closet, I absentmindedly opened it to a page, and it said: The encouraging thing is that every time you meet a situation, though you may […]
Miracles
Do Miracles exist? What do they look like? Do they come from God? Are they manifested by man? Is it a result of a perfect coincidence of events or generated from something beyond our understanding? I don’t know the answer to this question, so I ask you: Do you believe in miracles and if so, […]
Musings on Becoming Real
I want to share with you a paraphrased passage from the book “The Velveteen Rabbit”. “Does it hurt to become real?” asked the Rabbit. “Sometimes” said the Skin Horse. “When you are real, you don’t mind being hurt”. “Does it happen all at once?” “It does not happen all at once”, said the Skin Horse.
