All we have is now

It’s becoming cliché if it isn’t already, the saying “all we have is now.” It doesn’t feel that way sometimes because it’s also something we tend to forget. This morning, I was reminded of that in the simplest of ways. If you have read other posts, you’ll know that I suffer from sleeping disorders. This…

“Everybody Hurts”

Recently, I have been exhausted. I can get through the work day, but my kitchen tells a story of a very tired mom. It’s easy to get upset at myself. There’s a lot of supposed tos floating around in my head. You need to work out! You should feel good! You got so much to…

Social Media And It’s Constant Reminder

Social media seemed so great when it was first introduced. What a great way to stay connected with those I care about and potential friends. In 2007, I finally gave in and signed up for a Facebook account. At first, I was like meh. I almost practiced posting. It was an acquired taste for me.…

Walking my way to Happy Town

I took two brief walks today. I have a desk job and I use the computer recreationally. I don’t move a whole lot, and my body is paying the price. When I do want to move, on our weekend adventures, I find it a lot harder than it used to be. Sure, we naturally slow…

The ebb and flow

As I age and my life continues to take shape, relationships ebb and flow. Some more than others. Some rarely ebb. How long do we hold on? This week, I silently ended a half a lifetime friendship. A complicated friendship, but at one time was an extremely close one. I am thankful for what was,…

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super… Me? Part II

Beyond the Fear The first time I flew, it was with my father. He was taking lessons. They were supposed to do some crazy stuff, you know recovering after an engine stall, but my father talked his instructor into putting that off. I originally didn’t want to go, but there was a boy I was…

Embracing the Day to Day

Namaste. This morning, I accidentally tripped into a puddle of pleasant thoughts. I love it when that happens. As I was folding clothes between meetings, I was thinking to myself about how much I actually love having a family to fold clothes for. I know it sounds a little too Suzy homemaker. There is nothing…

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s Super… Me? Part I

Part of embracing awareness is facing our fears, learning about them, and accepting them. Accepting them as part of us and why we might have them. This is a great topic to explore, and I have a lot to say about it, but let me first share with you a particular fear that I needed…

People are Amazing

We constantly bicker, politicize and divide over trivial things, but there is still so much good and overwhelming kindness in people. Sometimes it takes a monumental element to bring us back to the things that really matter in our lives. There are always going to be people who never budge, or return to earth from…
