The Pleasure Principle
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…
Dressing for Battle
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…
The Sludge Will Not Win
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…
Yes, I Am a Writer.

? “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” -Flannery O’Connor This quote is perfect for me. I have only referred to myself as a writer in recent years. It is a big step – and a risk for me-to put my dream out…
I Am NOT As Old Inside As I Look On the Outside
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…
Saturday of YES
The AWESOME book by Shonda Rhimes -The Year of YES- chronicles Shonda’s process of getting out of a rut and saying yes to things that scared her. It is extremely inspiring, hysterically funny, crazy truthful and vulnerable. It is definitely making me think about ways that I can add some SPICE into my life. So…
I’m With the Kids
I am continually and pleasantly surprised at the compassion and awareness of the Middle and High School kids that I work with at church. These kids are up on things and very aware of what is going on in their world. The things they have to be aware of are so much more serious than…
I am so Old- I Remember when Flavored Coffee became a THING
Musings on Hazelnut Coffee… I am so old that I remember when Flavored Coffee became a THING. It was 1989. I was living on my own in DC. Like REALLY on my own. Putting myself through my last year of college and first year of grad school. Working as a waitress, and a nanny, and…
Love, Olympic Style
I will be watching the Olympics with my Mom tonight…. The Olympics move me and inspire me like very little other things do……When I was a kid, and the Olympics came on, it was like a holy time in our house. Everything stopped. We watched every minute of TV coverage that was available. My Mother…
Tempis Fugit
I want to stop time……. Every morning (especially Saturdays), I wake up in our tree nest, surrounded by my beloved books and photos of all of our adventures. My family photos dating back generations are on my bedroom shelf, easily accessible when I want to take a walk down memory lane. Our coffee maker is…
