Here’s your Friday tune, Mammy… You can know a lot about a soul just by listening to their song list on Spotify… every Friday, FourthSon sends me a “It’s Friday!” song. Often, I’ll reciprocate.

If I’d Only Known…
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

The Birthday Card
We don’t see the world the way it is. We see the world the way we are. The other day, my dad turned 82. He’s been both my biggest blessing and my deepest pain. I find that this is the way things go… if we would be so brave as to look Fear right inContinue reading “The Birthday Card”
Be Still… or else!
Stay inside today, Mama…. G-Butt, on this windy, rainy day I am a list maker. I make lists. I make lists of my lists.

She is an amazing guide and I gleaned tremendously. Her wisdom ran a mile deep. Luckily, I have tall boots and could stay awhile, floatContinue reading “Contentment is…”
Losing Control & BECOMING
We’re BECOMING more human… we’re EMERGING from caterpillar-to-mush-to-butterfly. We’re experiencing all the drama, the depths, and the desires. We’re alchemizing, transmuting, and transforming. Welcome to your life! Daughter called in a panic last night. Snow on the highway and she skidded. It wasn’t like last year when she lost control on the 219, doing aContinue reading “Losing Control & BECOMING”
Massage Anyone?
Me: How you feeling after the catheter was removed? Her: Awful. I just feel drained. Me: I’ll be right over! how I responded to BFF’s post-surgery blues And not only did I pop over for a visit… I brought massage oil.
