I was talking with my friend Olivia recently about learning the skill of “receiving.” She is finally starting to accept that her work doesn’t establish or […]

To say I’m pleased with the election results would be a lie. I’m deeply concerned about this country, probably more so than I have ever been […]

I just watched a video which covered many of the things I’ve been contemplating lately. I’ve always been an identity protection freak. I have been guilty […]

Watched this amazing talk this morning, then tweeted it and sent it to a few people on my list. Great stuff. Worth the 19 minutes of […]

In my book, a good Samaritan is a great addition to the world. I like to be around them. I strive to be one. Those situations […]

In 2007, I have learned to say “no.” It took a lot to get me to that point. 2007 was obnoxious, but it beat the ability […]

I tripped across a detailed, well-written and researched article by Naomi Wolf. It’s also an alarming article entitled: Fascist America in 10 Easy Steps.

I can’t imagine the daily horrors visited on people facing foreclosure now. The numbers continue to climb and the economy plummets. I’ve been told I like […]

I’ve had some pretty unproductive days in recent weeks. It seems that I spend much of my time chasing my proverbial tail. I start to work […]

When I was in high school and college, my mother would preach at me. Do this, don’t do that. Ladies do this, nere-do-wells do that. She […]

Go figure, it's more fun (and much easier) to come down the mountain than it is to climb up. Yesterday (Sunday), Pops and I took a couple hours to climb and explore a nearby trail. It was pretty pathetic going up...
Walk a hundred yards, huff and puff for five minutes... walk 50 yards, huff and puff... walk 200 yards then get winded and have to stop for five minutes. Needless to say, it took awhile to get up. We walked up the trail -- a fairly comfortable incline, despite the "huff and puff" episodes -- for just over an hour and a half. I took photos (of course) and added them to my Colorado Photo Blog. The sights were really nice going up...

Life has been so hectic lately, it's hard to FIND the roses, much less stop for a little sniff. But, I think I've decided that life will only slow down when I force that to happen. I've also decided that it has very little to do with outside forces and events, and much to do with my own decisions and choices. So, I'm deciding to slow down a bit. Yeah, yeah, I know... I've said it before. Only time will prove my earnestness this time...

Challenges abound when you have an ex. Anyone who has one, or knows someone who has one, understands. I actually had a friend ask me yesterday if I killed someone brutally in a previous life to deserve my own ex nightmares. I had to laugh... ok, maybe it was more of a whine.But then it hit me... and I figured it out.

Today was one of those days when I was able to completely shock and disappoint myself with a totally judgmental attitude. I hate when that happens. It's been awhile (thankfully), but I'm apparently still subject to such unexpected and, well, horribly judgemental views from time to time (unfortunately).
But, this provided a perfect opportunity for my belief in Karma to be reaffirmed...

Cold weather makes me take a moment to think about life. Life is good. This morning, when I got up (from a toasty-warm bed), it was cold in the cabin. Quite a chill hung in the air.
Then my husband got up and said "Want a fire? Are you cold?" and immediately began the wood-burning stove ritual to get a blazing fire roaring.
Life is good.

The first portion of a new year is a wonderful thing to me. It really is. I know you can "turn a new page" or "get a fresh start" at any point in your life, on any day, but there is something magical about a new YEAR -- and I cling to the theme of rebirth and renewal and a fresh start...every year...
