Fooling Around on the Island
I know I’ve shared how the island in the middle of our lake blew over to my yard after Hurricane Milton. Now, as the nesting season is beginning, the nesting birds are flying in landing on what was a birdless island, and I have a “bird’s eye view.” It’s truly up close and personal! Last…

Comforted by a Book
In honor of National Book Lover’s Day, I wanted to share a story of a memoir I wrote last year. I was recently made aware of a woman who received my book in the mail as a present to help give her peace after the death of her mom. (You Don’t Know Jack! : How…

Tropical Storm Pajamma Day!
When I grew up in the northeast, anytime we had a snow day, it felt heaven sent! I would be so excited by a surprise day off from school, that I would get up ridiculously early and go right out into the snow (mittens, boots, coat, hat, and scarf over my pajammas) for the thrill.…

Monkey Mind
The mind is a truly amazing miracle, isn’t it? And our minds can’t even wholly wrap around the miracle that it is! Thoughts are generated with or without our permission, and on a constant basis. Intangible, creative, often fear-based for survival, our thoughts race and relax, sometimes as a result of high brain survival activity.…

My Thought Machine
You know how our minds never stop producing thoughts? In fact, in order to meditate, we actually have to focus our attention on something else like our breathing, or a mantra, or some guided imagery in order to try to clear the mind. It reminds me of clouds going by in the sky. They attract…

Sometimes… It Just Is What It Is
I used to feel disturbed with that statement because it made me feel like I had to accept things that weren’t comfortable or going my way. Well, now that I’m older, I’ve come to realize the universe is quite complicated, and maybe it took a few billion years for this very moment to actualize..precisely as…
