Meandering Thoughts
"Rabbit" is the word to say on the 1st of each month. I began playing this game with a college roommate -- whoever says "Rabbit" 1st wins! The "Rabbit' game became one of the rhythms of my life, making me mindful of the passage of time and the transition from one month to the next. Appreciating...
A long day to nowhere! Sunday morning after visiting family for a week, I arrived at a small airport in Florida, ready to return home. But, that didn't happen. At least, not that day.
Three times we lined up and passed through the gate, found our seats, loaded our overhead bins, and buckled...

1. Is this person sincere, authentic, and working from the heart?

In the fall of 2011, I was in a writing group. This piece is from a 10-minute writing exercise.

I am disciple.
The teacher lies within me.
One forms the other.

When I was a new parent, I gave myself permission to see the world in a fresh way. When our 3-year-old spilled the box of 100 Band-Aids, I took ridiculous delight in counting the scattered Band-Aids and sorting them into piles by shape and size.
Some of us are...
I believe there is a wellspring of love available for us all. Love is not finite, though somehow it can feel scarce when it comes to loving ourselves. How much does the critic in our head speak up louder and faster than the voice of self-acceptance and self-love.…

I was just sweeping my floors. I wasn’t sweeping them to clean my house, though that’s a nice side benefit. I was sweeping as a prayer...as medicine...to ground myself...to soothe my anxiety.

A day of celebration! I am celebrating the joy of learning and the access that we have in our country to expand our minds. Our new library expansion is open to the public. This is a view looking down on the children's area.
I have also joined Eryka Peskin's celebration challenge which takes place...
Time to reflect and offer my gratitude to 2020. I have lived through it, that's a big win. I offer my sweet prayers of transition for those who passed on, with deep empathy and condolence for those that carry a weighted emptiness missing these loved ones.
