The Heaviness of Grief and Finding Meaning

I have taken a week away from my blog as I, like I'm sure so many of you are, have been living in a somewhat frozen state as of late.  The world seems surreal with empty streets, no personal contact, and a constant level of anxiety that is palpable.  I have been putting articles I …

Working Virtually in Community

"People working together in a strong community with a shared goal and a common purpose can make the impossible possible." - Tom Vilsack It is a scary world out there for me right now.  Partially, because I live with anxiety on a regular basis.  Add on to that, the fact that I live with asthma and …

Rediscovering Joy

"Joy is a decision, a really brave one, about how you are going to respond to life." - Wess Stafford Sometimes, I get overly tied up in semantics.  I will read a word or hear someone say something, and get tied up on questioning what that particular word means to me.  I think that makes sense …

The Highs and Lows of Travelling with a Disability

"A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us." -  John Steinbeck I have had a brief hiatus from writing my blog because I went away …

Cycles of Life and Celebrations

"The moon doesn't consider one phase better than another;  she just glows, equally stunning at each turn.  Why should we be any different?" - Cristen Rodgers This past weekend I turned 45.  Aging really doesn't bother me.  I really do embrace aging and getting to know myself better each and every year.  There seems to be …

Surviving the Vibrations of Life

"Sometimes you feel things so much, so intensely, it becomes a new type of numbness, the oblivion of overstimulation."  - Leah Raeder As someone who is trained in Reiki, I am very well aware of the theory of energy and how our bodies can absorb the energy around us.  We also give off energy to other …

The Fuel of Creativity

"Down time is where we become ourselves...a hiatus that passes for boredom but is really the quiet moving of the wheels inside that fuel creativity." - Anna Quindlen Today is the first day in my little neck of the woods that is going to rise out of the -30 to -50 windchill weather I have been …

Going Inward to Find Ease

“To return to the root is to find peace.  To find peace is to fulfill one’s destiny.” — Tao Te Ching Choosing ease and actually finding it are two entirely different things.  In my last post, I wrote about a practice that I do every new year of choosing a word to focus on for …

Gratitude for 2019

"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man had plenty;  not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." - Charles Dickens As the year comes to a close, I have a tradition of spending some time acknowledging all of the things I am grateful for.  Some years are harder than others.  …
