Leaving Wrongs Where They Are

Some of my friends feel pressed to right the wrongs of the world.  They are tormented by people who are disrespectful and bigoted.  They engage in personal battles to change that behavior and demand justice and spend sleepless nights and exhausting days in frustration and a feeling of powerlessness. No conscious person likes that behavior…. Read more »

Offering a Different Way

The day before closing on my house in NY, all kinds of issues came up.  The buyers weren’t sure if the heat turned on fast enough and the creditor thought that there was a neighborhood association that placed restrictions on homeowners.  Both are not true.  My lawyer wasn’t sure if we were going to close… Read more »

Making Friends

Making friends takes some work.  It’s not enough to like someone when you meet.  It is so easy to fall off of their radar screen after the meeting no matter how much you felt a connection.  My daughter reminds me to follow up with an email to open the lines of communication. There are so… Read more »

A Loving Home

I would love to write about something else, but I made a promise to myself to be honest in these blogs even if they expose my vulnerability. I got the papers today to prepare for closing on my house in New York in one week. It was a busy day searching for old documents, getting… Read more »

There’s No Turning Back

Blame It On the Full Moon

Why was I up at 4 am moving furniture?  Why did I wake up with such a pressing inspiration?  At the time, it made total sense.  As the morning unfolded, I didn’t feel that urgency anymore.  But, I am glad that I did it.  I got to see the full moon illuminate the sky and… Read more »

Hmmmm……..

As I give this dog thing some more thought, I ask myself what I am looking for.  Besides the satisfaction of giving a dog a warm, loving home, I am drawn to the thought of coming home to a living being who is ecstatically happy to see me, whose needs are simple and clear, who… Read more »

Making a Shift

“Enlightenment is a shift in self-identification from body to spirit identification,” says Marianne Williamson, author and spiritual teacher.  She adds that if you only think of your body and your own drama and circumstances, it leads to thoughts of aging and limitations.  You feel that your opportunities are diminished because you feel that you are… Read more »

Getting a Dog?

I’m thinking of getting a dog. I’ve never had one, except for four months when the kids were young. I’m ready for unconditional love…for those little eyes staring at me innocently and with love, for walks and discovery together, for doggy parks and sharing stories with humans at the other end of the leash. My… Read more »
