I have been MIA I know, but for good reason: I want you to meet my new friends. Actually, they are old friends but now I know what they look like, and it’s all because of setting Intentions. I skipped writing about intentions last year as I was apparently on the two-year plan with getting… Continue Reading

Gandalf the Brave
Gandalf was the bravest dog I knew. Once in my old house I heard a noise outside, probably deer or foxes or some other animal, and I opened the front door to peek. Gandalf charged past me and leapt off the porch into the darkness. There was no hesitation on his part and I stood… Continue Reading
After The Election You Still Have A Choice
Thank God this debacle is over. The gutter brawl between the parties threatened to spill into my front room and had become so, so tiresome. Now we know and I am not wasting any more energy on this election. There are people to be taken care of, runs to be run, tests to be taken,… Continue Reading
An Unexpected Owl
We were getting ready to leave work one night and heard the unexpected sound of raindrops pelting the windows. We lined up at the glass, watching the weather blow in. Ferocious wind drove the rain in around the door seals while the lightning strobe-lighted the parking lot. Waves of rain swept across the asphalt as… Continue Reading
And I Think to Myself…What the…???
OK I just find this interesting. Some say I am easily entertained. It is true. Sea salt is not a natural source of iodine. However, the shellfish that live in the sea contain significant levels of the element. And this: You can get Vitamin D from sunlight. Mushrooms, which grow in places… Continue Reading
The Best Gift

Everywhere I look people are showing wedding photos, talking about just-the-two-of-us vacations and date nights, while I hang out with the two furry loves of my life, Gandalf and Pippin. My… Continue Reading
Yoga Not
I should be at yoga. That is what is on the calendar for today, in a very tightly scheduled three weeks but I kind of just…didn’t go. Most Sunday mornings I find it refreshing but today the quiet of my little house was what I needed most. So here I am, melted into the peace.… Continue Reading
Holy Cats! I Won?
We all know someone who seems to win stuff all the time, right? I am not one of those people. Maybe this has changed now. Maybe not, but in the meantime I am honored to be among these other writers in this contest: http://boostblogtraffic.com/writing-resolutions/#comments That’s me…the 10th one down! I have spent the first days… Continue Reading
How I Found the Perfect Tattoo
I recently read a post where a woman explained that she didn’t have a tattoo because “Why would you put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?” While this is clever and noble and high-minded, it is not why I have waffled about getting my own tattoo. No….my reasons are far more mundane and un-glamorous. I… Continue Reading
My Very First Guest Post!
It’s been forever since I posted anything here, but that’s not because I haven’t been busy. Au contraire…I enrolled in Jon Morrow’s Guest Blogging course and in my spare time have been writing and re-writing…and re-writing some more. Liz, Cate and Robert are the editors who have encouraged, corrected, suggested, directed and helped me to… Continue Reading
