My 10-day challenge - Glowing

My 10-day challenge – Glowing

November 27, 2019 ~ Day 6

It’s a great day to have a great day! My waking thoughts are not about my to-do list which was a habit I had fallen into of checking my schedule as soon as I woke up.  Instead this morning it is about what Can I do today! Yes I can is so very powerful! It opens the door to all possibilities.  Indeed, there are still responsibilities and things that have already been…

Day 5 of My 10-day challenge

Day 5 of My 10-day challenge

November 26, 2019 ~ Day 5

Life is about contrasts, ups and downs, laughter and sadness, dark and light. To say that today was a different experience than day 4 is an understatement.  Today, it seemed the universe was conspiring to hand me gifts on a silver platter.  I have been trying to change my parking space where I live for years and was told a couple of months ago that it would happen. …

Day 4 Of My 10-day Challenge

Day 4 Of My 10-day Challenge

November 25, 2019 ~ Day 4

You would think that with time change becomes easier.  You would think, right? Day 4 is behind me finally and boy was it a challenge. I’m not sure how I did it but I set the alarm for the time of my first appointment of the day! Thank goodness I woke up prior to that (thank you angels) but it didn’t leave me with much time to prepare for the meeting I was going into. …

Shadow Work

Dark moments happen to all of us. It is the contrast of living in a human body. If we didn’t have the dark, we wouldn’t recognize the light and vice versa. It is what we do with those dark moments that is important. This year has been full of such moments for me. The first instinct is to hide, crawl into a corner and make myself invisible to not have to deal with it. I have found, however,…

Miracles Happen When You Trust

Miracles Happen When You Trust

As my recovery from breast cancer surgery is in full swing, it amazes me to look back on the journey and all the synchronicities that happened to get me through such a challenging time.  I’m now at the point of preparing for the final surgery – breast reconstruction.  I know this surgery is not as intense or life-preserving as what I have already endured and some may even judge my decision;…

SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED IS TIME

SOMETIMES ALL YOU NEED IS TIME

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

As we get caught up in dwelling on our past and/or our future, we forget that we are in constant growth inside.  We look at our physical bodies and the way they used to look compared to now and this lets us know that we are progressing in one of the many laws of the universe. …

Calm Down ~ There's A Plan

Calm Down ~ There’s A Plan

I am so grateful for friends, especially for friends who are not letting me go through this journey alone!  One such friend accompanied me today to see the doctor for MRI results and to discuss treatment options.  She has been there, this journey that many are finding themselves on these days.  The stench along the path is horrid; it reeks of anger, fear, sadness, guilt, loneliness.  Indeed,…

Entering the Fire

“Scars are like tattoos but with better stories.”  Unknown

Many of you have been holding my hand over the last couple of weeks, asking how you can help and keeping me in your prayers.  Some are not aware of what is going on with my health and until this week I did not have the answers to give a definitive answer, but now I do.  I have told you that this journey is one that I want to be very open…

Grief Is Love

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go” ~ Jamie Anderson

There are many skeptics who discount the feelings of non-human animals.  I have been doing research for a book I am writing…

In Memory of My Beloved Taz

In Memory of My Beloved Taz

My friend Katie stopped by one day almost 20 years ago for a visit.  Our visits were quite long as she is totally deaf and we communicated mostly with her perfect ability to lipread and my limited ability to use sign language.  She taught me the sign for cat and insisted that I needed one in my life.  I told her I was okay with it but would need to check with Ken who was my husband at the time. …

Calming the Waves Of the Unknown

Calming the Waves Of the Unknown

“Life comes at us in waves. We can’t predict or control those waves, but we can learn to surf”  Dan Millman

I owe the title of this blog to someone very dear to my heart, someone I consider a daughter in this lifetime although we are not related by blood but by spirit; and someone who has traveled this journey and knows the road all too well.  As I shared with Shawntay this morning in a chat that…

Gonna Be Like David

Gonna Be Like David

You must tell yourself no matter how hard it is or how hard it gets, I am going to make it.  Les Brown

I awoke and looked around me.  The dream seemed so real that I actually felt the presence of others in the room.  I looked for them through groggy vision but there was no one there; only me and my two cats wondering why I seemed in such a frenzy.  I had to find the clock and fast because I felt…

What Is Life About?

What Is Life About?

Thank you Emma for these wonderful words today. It reminds me of a quote from my book Changes: Life Changes When You Do, where my friend Debbie Garcia shares that “Life deals you all kinds of cards. It’s all up to you what you’re going to do with them and how you want to play them because that hand is yours to play and nobody else’s.”

DFTBA

“Forgiveness means personal freedom, freedom from that mental prison, freedom from anger, freedom from bitterness, freedom from the wilderness and victimhood mentality … Most of us become afraid to do our inner work, to look at our shadow selves and to deal with our challenges and issues that are keeping us held back in every aspect of our life from our relationships to our money and careers to…

Never Quit

“If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!” Michael Jordan

One of the most successful sports figures of all time gives this sage advice that we can all use.  I have quit many times in many different areas of my life.  Every time I gave up on a dream or goal, there was a sense of something dissipating from my spirit.  I choose not to call those failures but rather redirections.  I have…

Words Are Things

But words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.  Lord Byron

To think is to create.  It is the beginning; sometimes coming as an image and other times just a sound, but creation nonetheless.  I’m sitting here today once again listening to the raindrops, to soothing meditation music playing softly in the…

Bucket On My Head

Bucket On My Head

There is an old sitcom called the Andy Griffith Show where Gomer Pyle is sitting by himself with a bucket on his head.  When Andy asked him why he had the bucket on his head, his reply was that he was “just thinkin” and went on to explain that he was “thinkin about how much thinkin I can do with this here bucket on my head.”  Sometimes in life we need that bucket on the head.  I find myself…
