Mindfulness allows you to live deeply every moment that is given you to live. ~Thich Nhat Hanh It is not easy, but…… Continue reading A Mindful Walk; Geese, Ducks, and Dog
Books and Other Dangerous Info
On the news recently we heard about Governor DeSantis support of Florida law HB1460 which effectively allows a “school district employee who holds a valid educational media specialist certificate” to decide which books and materials should be available for students. This whole scenario sounds very problematic and not easily definable. Does this mean one person…… Continue reading Books and Other Dangerous Info

Seeing is Believing or NOT
Three separate incidents of Seeing or NOT: #1. One day last week I stepped out of my house, my little dog on her leash, ready for our morning walk.

Suffer Fools Lightly
I have not been able to write anything coherent for the last few days regarding what happened in our Capitol this week. My mind is a mess, my heart is heavy, I feel like a loved one has just died. I am raw. But something different emerged in me yesterday. Anger. Pure unadulterated visceral righteous…… Continue reading Suffer Fools Lightly
Here’s Your Sign
A redbird came knocking. I looked up from my comfy spot on the sectional. I just wrote a letter to my friend. Through my tears, I saw the beautiful cardinal on my sliding glass door looking at me. He knocked again, his beak tapping the glass. “Hello”, I said, or thought. A few seconds…… Continue reading Here’s Your Sign
