Letting Go
“Can we still be friends?” This is a phrase I’m sure most of us have heard at one time in our life. It’s most often heard at the end of a romantic relationship, typically by the dumper and not the dumpee. Sometimes it’s a question. Other times it’s a negotiation point, “but we can still…

Active Participant in Life
Last week I talked about my mom and how she’s avoided dealing with things in her life and the consequences of those actions. I’ve watched and learned from her experiences. Of course I’ve also avoided issues in my own life. At various times throughout my life I’ve avoided everything from having a relationship to my…

An Orchard Full of Lemons
I have received an orchard full of lemons this year. It’s really been one thing after another. As I was thinking through everything that’s happened, I realized most of it isn’t directly happening to me. It’s felt like it was happening to me because I’ve had to step in and help my family.

Sea Fever
Missing the ocean energy today… Sea Fever By John Masefield I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a…

Put Yourself in a Time Out
I have been drinking from the fire hose for the last three months. A delicious fire hose. Something akin to a mojito – slightly sweet, citrus, and refreshing. However, it’s still a fire hose. And, as much as I’ve enjoyed myself the last three months, it hit me today that I have not slowed down…
