Where I’ve Felt Loved
Sitting here watching the snow come down in big chunks outside and thinking about where I’ve felt loved… I always felt loved with my Uncle, no matter where we were at. Uncle Rodney was always glad to see you and it showed. He had a cool muscle car and an ever-present, slightly-guilty grin on his…

Reduction
Where can you reduce clutter in your life I’ve been thinking a lot about reducing clutter in life, and actually doing it too… there are so many types of clutter. There is the oh-so-easy-to-notice physical clutter, which many people say is a reflection of mental or emotional clutter. There can be financial clutter. Social clutter.…

Can You Be a Cat and Dog Person?
Do you think you can be both? It’s like saying you love the beach and the mountains, which also describes me to a tee. My favorite animals are cats and dogs. I love cats because of their personalities. They are soft. The ones that I’ve had over the years love sitting on you or next…

Time
“Do you need time?” Well I have time. We all do. The problem I think is that I can get so busy with being busy that it starts to feel like I don’t have time. On a bad day- If I come home from work for instance, dragging work along with me, then it ends…

Connecting in a Divided World: Why It Matters
Maybe you’ve noticed it too… so much divisiveness. But most people want the same things- safety, enough food and a safe place to live, family and friends. And believe it or not, the fact that we are here on earth at this precise time, is somewhat of a miracle. That’s not to say that life…
