It is adorable and spacious and spotless. I have already taken a shower and am trying out my heating pad on the bed….(I hurt my back two weeks ago and have been nursing an injury since then) Brand new fixtures in the bathroom and cute vintage touches throughout the apartment! Walking distance to the boat.…
This is the girl who spent most of her teens and frankly -until just a few years ago, worrying about being fat. This is the young woman who dreaded the bus ride home from school, because a gang of neighborhood boys followed her home yelling to her about how she was as fat as a…
Trigger Warning: Addiction, death and This is Us spoilers…. I just finished watching the episode in This Is Us -where Jack experiences the death of his mother. It’s in the most recent season, which will be the last season of the show. The reason that I have loved the show is that it has often…
Ahhhhhh The World……Lord God, You made it. Beautiful and Frightening in its own way That there can be moments of beautyRight next to moments of uglinessIn the same roomExisting in the same space Moments of joyCoexisting with moments of fearIn the same boxIn the same closetIn the same nooks and crannies of our hearts How…
As part of my awakening to my own complicity in the systemic racism in our country, I have made a commitment to educate myself about things in Black History that I did not know about. In order to do this, I have been compiling a list of resources to help me get better educated. This…

Scripture: “If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,…
38 years ago today, a deranged man walked up to perhaps the most talented singer/songwriter there ever was….and blew him away in the doorway of his NY City apartment building. Time stopped for me that day. It was the first death that I experienced of a loved one. The first time I was personally affected…
From “Aging Gracefully” my new blog! “Welcome to my new blog “Aging Gracefully” (aginggracefullyliving.wordpress.com)…… As Elder Ministry Coordinator for The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts, I sincerely hope and pray that the information shared here will be helpful and informative. Church is one of the few places in our society where people of all ages…
My plan was to shut off social media for the week that I am on Cuttyhunk…..but the stories here are just too good not to tell. Since I use my blog and Facebook as a type of journal to record memories for my own use, I decided I will limit myself to a post a…
Today, in Yoga class, I was given a “truth bomb” card. It came from a stack of cards with various messages on them. The one that I got today blew my mind- because it was PERFECT for where I am right now in my journey. It said this: “Pleasure is Power”. I shared this thought…
I should probably refrain from writing this until I have heard the sermon (which was supposed to be amazing)….But I am thinking about why people love weddings so much. I don’t know about everyone else …..But this is why I do….. It’s not the flowers, or the fancy dresses or the beautiful music or the…
I remember this time last year….we had recently returned from our amazing and sun filled trip to St. John- which was healing and spiritual and wonderful. We came back to WEEKS of this- cold, gray, wet….,yuck. Yes, THIS is the NE weather I hate the most. It’s like Heartbreak Hill- just when you think you…

Watching a friend’s post of a Lynard Skynard concert from the 70’s. Looking at all of the beautiful young people in the audience…..-all I can think is. “Wow- those are all old people now.” I can’t get over how fast it happens. It is so weird. In my head, I feel almost exactly like the…
