Embrace It All
I know that I have said before sometimes I wish I didn't feel anything. And on occasion that's true, especially when in the feeling, it's all too painful. But in my honesty I do love to feel the heights & the depths of life. I love to feel the butterflies, the shyness & the nervousness …
You Are Such A Gift
I felt strongly spurred to do this so I am going to engage in an exercise here before all of you that will be uncomfortable for me. And I am asking you to do the same for yourself however you'd like. I'm realizing more as I grow older it's important to recognize & be thankful …

Ramblings On Ponds, Tantrums & My Rescuer
How easy it is to swim around in the ponds of self-pity we dig so ceremoniously & diligently over time. Fretting over this thing or that thing. Fighting our own battles as if we ever could - alone. I did it last night. Sundays are still the hardest for me. One sweet day that will …
