The Power of Chemistry
Life is alchemy, and emotions are the fire that turns me to gold. Glennon Doyle – Untamed, pg. 68 It’s hard to feel all the feelings sometimes, but the more we do it, the more we come back to ourselves. Feeling the fire of emotions reminds us of our humanity. The flames can burn hot […]

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 […]

These things and more are seen on a summer’s […]

A Friend

10 Things
My puppy when I open the door to her crate in the morning. She is all wiggles and smiles. A good cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Fluffy white clouds drifting through the sky on a slight breeze. Birds singing in the trees, proof that summer is here and winter is far, far […]

One Thing
Hello, friends! This week I started reading The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck. I’ll be honest… I found a quote in the INTRODUCTION that I wanted to share with you. In other words, this book seems sure to challenge me… and when I say that, I mean it will probably kick my butt in […]

Don’t Miss Your Slice
Happy Friday, friends! It has been an interesting week for me, as I was very much under the weather since last Sunday morning. Today is the first day I woke up feeling like myself again, and for that I am thankful. I am glad to be back today to post this week’s Quote of the […]
