Do you remember the Bedazzled gizmo? You could apply sparkly’s to anything and everything. Today I’m feeling a bit Bedraggled. Weird dreams, aches and pains that didn’t really keep me awake, but were in the realm of awareness all night. Even coffee didn’t sound appealing. (I know! Right!?!) So, as I muddled though the morning and typed out

It’s time to replace my keyboard for my computer. After completing two books utilizing the same keyboard I can hardly read the keys. All of the lettering except Enter; Shift; Backspace and the letters X, Z, W, P and Q are worn off. Nothin’ but black. If I don’t rely upon muscle memory, I couldn’t

I spent most of yesterday cleaning the kitchen. We had purchased a new over-the-stove microwave and the big old microwave was removed and given away. That left a pile of clutter and old dust that just had to go. While I was at it, I tackled another clutter spot filled with notes and pens and

Resistance is Futile

Some days, don’tcha just wish there was a way to Ctrl+Alt+Delete for life’s experiences? Not just do-overs, but block it out completely from our experiences . . . wishing somethings just never happened. When we experience this, we are in the middle of trauma or we are re-living trauma.

I saw a post on Facebook the other day. . . Someone had been having a really hard time of it for awhile and they posted that they’d had a perfect day, except . . . (and went on to list what they didn’t like about the day.) You can see right away that something

Phil and I really enjoyed Mother Nature on our walk this morning. It was cool, but not crisp fall air yet. The trees were turning and the leaves beginning to fall. We certainly see and acknowledge the beauty of their letting go. Why can’t we see that same beauty in our own releasing of things? We view

Finding Blessings in Loss

Well, I finished cleaning my home office. It ended up taking 2 half days and one full day. I had notes and workshop stuff stacked up here and there and everywhere. Years of scheduling myself from one thing to the next without sufficient time to put away the last class taught along with no real

I started cleaning my home office this morning. What a disaster. They say a messy desk is the sign of genius. I wonder what a disaster of an office means? I started in the closet. Found some old cool classes I’d forgotten I’d taught. Fun! Reorganized my paper stash. Ooooh, preety colors!! (Did I really need 3 open
