Poetry Post: Untitled poem – No. 28
Hi friends. Today I want to share a simple poem I wrote about a month or so ago. I have not titled it, and I think I’ll keep it that way; I feel in this particular instance that this allows more room for the reader to feel the words of the piece and to flow…

Sitting with Me
I find myself at a loss for words today. I’m sitting by a lake, the gentle waves lapping up onto the shore. Every now and then a bird sings. The dog is keeping busy exploring the shoreline, jumping in and out of the water unpredictably. The warm aroma of hot coffee reaches me from the…

Connection is Life
Well, folks… it’s Friday evening and I’m just now realizing how busy my mind has been this week. If you’re wondering, I started a new job two weeks ago, so my brain has been a bit crowded with new information and new processes. It’s been a great gig so far, but I’m using a lot…

Little Footprints
Monday morning has arrived. I am doing the usual things… drinking my coffee, letting the dog out, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. A tree is being taken down in our front yard today, so I went out to greet those guys and pay the bill. It feels like nothing is different; it’s just the…

How We Can See
Good morning! It’s time for my “Quote of the Week” post, where I share some words that have been meaningful to me in some way this week. Sometimes these words are song lyrics or poetry, but often they come from a book I’m currently reading. Sharing them with you and reflecting on them in this…

Quiet Moments
It’s Monday evening. I’m sitting on our back deck with my feet up, laptop resting on my legs, and our dog wandering aimlessly around the yard. The sun is shining, and some birds are singing. It’s a quiet evening. In the calm of this moment, gratitude rises within me. Not everything about today was easy,…

Discomforts
Good evening, friends! Here is the “Quote of the Week” that has been rolling around in my brain these last few days. To me, the discomfort either fades or it turns into something beautiful. You just can’t predict which way it’ll go sometimes. And that’s okay. Whatever changes you are going through, hang in there.…
