As I’m doing the last of Christmas preparations, I’m reminded of this conversation that I’ve had with many people over the years. Them: Are you ready for Christmas? Me: I’m never ready. It will come anyway. Even though my personality tends toward being organized I...

As I come out of the haze, I’ve been in in 2020 reinventing myself comes to the forefront. I feel a sense of completeness in my life like I’ve never felt before. I am creatively charged which also fills my soul. Two weeks ago, I wrote a blog about reinventing yourself...

For the last several years I haven’t done much, if any, decorating for Christmas. While Mike was sick, I never knew where we’d be, and I didn’t have the energy. He would decorate the outside but that had gotten less and less. For the last two years, John has put a...

As my listening partner and I got further into the fear vs awareness question a few things came up. I feel like our busyness is a way we avoid our fears. If we’re busy we don’t have to face those things that scare us the most. Going from one activity to the next is a...

Last night one of Mike’s doctors visited me in my dream. I’m not clear what it was telling me but I was inspired to change the subject of my blog because of it. Yesterday I read a post by a retired doctor about the health care workers during this pandemic. It said...
