Goals & Boundaries

I have been very inspired by working on a goal I set last year which was to read one meditation every day from a book titled The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie the author of Codependent No More.  It is a great book and daily reminder to take care of myself,...

Book of Life

Do you "keep" a journal?  I don't think I keep one, but I do write in one when I have something to say! I've never been much interested in a blow by blow account of everyday life, at least writing like that would bore me to tears.  However, that style surely has its...

Three Year Vision

I just finished writing another three year vision for my vision board. I have been amazed at how the last three years have been orchestrated and directed by the one I wrote in 2014. It is so true, as one of my favorite visioneers, Dennis Deaton says, "You are always...

Sweet Potato Curry!

Sweet Potato Curry!

I hope you will love this soup as much as I do!  (I don't know how many times I have made it in the last two months!)  It was inspired by Pathway to Wellness and I'm so grateful to have it in my recipe book! Besides being flavorful and nutritious, you'll also be...

Gotta Have Heart

Isn't it kind of crazy that long before you accomplish a goal, you have to work on each broken down piece of it, and before that you have to divide it up and schedule it, and before that you must have a concrete idea, and before that you have to know what you want,...

To Risk or Not To Risk

I don't know who wrote this, but it's been hanging in my kitchen for a long time. Dare To Risk To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your ideas or your dreams before a...

Small and Simple

In all our big thinking and goal setting, we must remember that it is the small things that make all the difference in relationships! A kind look. A sincere apology.  A hot meal. A hand on a shoulder.  Some undivided attention.  Forgiveness. And when it comes right...

Dreaming Dreams

The ladies in this picture are my people.  I didn't ever know them and we're not even completely sure who is who.  But they are my people and they look like women I'd really like to know! It always astounds me that my ancestors where here (in living color even though...
