I was on my way from NY to NM. A short layover in Denver, a puddle jumper to Santa Fe, arrive by 10 pm and wake up fresh the next morning. EXCEPT that when I got to the gate for my connection to Santa Fe, they said that the flight was cancelled. No more flights… Read more »

Beware of Hot Pink!
My three-year-old granddaughter asked me what was my favorite color on her new quilt. I pointed to the petals of a flower and said, “This one. It is called hot pink.” A few minutes later she said, “Ouch! My elbow hurts!” When I asked what happened, she said that she burned her elbow on the… Read more »
Who’s Driving This Ship Anyway?
I’m gonna be honest. I’m feeling scared about my move to Santa Fe. I seem to have let go of the words to describe why I’m going. I can’t even access the left brain rationale. I am on a course with no brakes or diversions. Somewhere in my soul I know why I am doing… Read more »
In Awe of Newness
This is what I love about kids: they are in awe of everything. A baby is fascinated with his foot that seems to be connected to a body that seems to be his. Tasting a carrot for the first time brings wonderment to his mouth beyond anything that he has ever experienced. A cup… Read more »
Let Nature Nurture
Today was the first beautiful day of spring. Sunny and 75 degrees. I went to the beach, kicked off my shoes, laid on the sand, and fell asleep to the sound of lapping water and squawking seagulls. My trip to the beach was a respite from compulsive planning, organizing and the need to feel accomplished. … Read more »
The Nature of Louie Schwartzberg
Last week on Super Soul Sunday, Oprah featured Louie Schwartzberg, a cinematographer who specializes in nature films. His time-lapsed pictures of the grandest and tiniest parts of our earth create spectacular films. I highly recommend looking him up on youtube. His camera zooms in on a meadow swarming with monarch butterflies and a nest of… Read more »
Today is Your Creation
For those of you who follow this blog, I’m sorry that I missed writing last week. I was traveling. Along with being busy and sometimes not having the opportunity to write, traveling opens me up to see things in a new way. It gets me out of my little world and reminds me that people… Read more »
It’s All So Funny!
I laugh a lot. It’s all so funny! Smile, grin, chuckle, belly laugh. I can be washing the dishes and burst out laughing at something that someone said last week. I laugh at myself, too. I really get a kick out of myself and the zany things I do. Yesterday I was feeling so good… Read more »
Creatively Rebellious
My brain is on overdrive. Thoughts swirling around like random particles slamming into each other. How can one head house so much activity? I feel like I have been talking for two days straight. In rekindling old friendships people have opened up to me about living with cancer, facing a repressive marriage, dating, and dealing… Read more »
Softening Doubt
Yesterday I doubted many of my decisions. Did I choose the right real estate broker to represent my house? Did we pick the right price? Was this the best time to put it on the market? Did I remember to deduct everything on my tax return? Was my relationship with a new man really what… Read more »
