A Reflection on the Power of Stillness:We are taught to seek “the sound” that makes us glad to be alive—a favorite song, a loved one’s laugh, the crashing of waves.

Stay on the Trail
I wrote this in 2023 but never published it. Last year I was sitting in my vehicle waiting to meet my realtor when a small Eastern Bluebird flew onto my rear view mirror. He was so bright that he looked animated. He just sat looking at me. After being mesmerized for several minutes I reachedContinue reading “Stay on the Trail”
The Art of Unloving: Releasing What No Longer Serves You
Have you ever fallen out of love? I think we all know what it’s like to fall in love.

The Cost of Distractions
Distractions are the number one cause of failure. We miss what someone said because we are distracted by our thoughts of worry or anxiety. Car accidents happen every second because someone is distracted by their thoughts, phone, or music. Distractions in general cause losses. The apostle Peter almost drowned when Jesus asked him to getContinue reading “The Cost of Distractions”
My Access Policy
I have given access to people to elevate them, to encourage them, and I’ve even tried to drag them down a better path because I saw more in them than they saw in themselves. I wear those jewels in my crown proudly because of my access they have benefited. I don’t say it egotistical, IContinue reading “My Access Policy”

Anytime we are not sure about anything, our relationships, our economy, jobs, and finances. We are often traumatized by the unsureness which makes us fight, flight, or freeze. If we don’t know if he/she is cheating, leaving, or staying we will become stressed which leads to fighting with them, us flighting and leaving first, orContinue reading “Fear of the Unknown”
Lesson 100000000000000006
Yesterday I spent over 7 hours at a medical appointment. What I thought was going to be a simple process turned out to be a lot more detailed than what I could imagine. In the past, I had done something similar but this was not the same as it was much more complicated. It wasContinue reading “Lesson 100000000000000006”
