creative sharings for new perspectives
What do sex, faith and race all have in common? Your perception of each relies on your perspective. I LOVE this! Not only because it was a question posed by a Senior high school boy for whom I hold high regard, but because his answer gave me much to think about while standing in an… Continue reading Beautiful
Have you ever laughed so hard that you thought you might wet your pants? I have. On more than one occasion. And usually that occasion involves an old friend from high school. I graduated from high school a very long time ago. I’m beyond blessed to still be in touch with some wonderful people from… Continue reading Hallowed Halls of High School
I was recently reminded of the oldie but goodie, Autobiography in Five Paragraphs. Once again I was faced with a situation that would have brought me to the edge of the hole, had I not been that road before. And before. And before. But this time, I recognized the road traveled. And it was actually… Continue reading
Last weekend we saw the movie, JOY. I went in wanting to love it. As someone who barely showers without having an idea, I thought it would motivate me. It did. But not in the way I thought it would. And therein lies one of my favorite life learnings -- “You always get what you… Continue reading JOY
Live and Learn. What else can we do? This Fall was a rough one.

Imagine my delight, when I stumbled upon both! Color me crazy, but on Black Friday, I agreed to go to the… Continue reading The Uniform
Supposed To. Two little words that can undo me as fast as stepping on a shoelace and having it unravel. Memories of my husband standing in the bedroom hallway one morning with a compassionate smile and nailing this sentiment that had me up at 2am, calmed my aching heart. Thinking of his laser keen mind,… Continue reading Supposed To
Those of you who know me, know that I have a thing for “G-d Winks” -- moments, people, ideas and “ahas” that show up at just the right time. Today I had “a moment” – a short conversation with a nice guy in a cigar shop. What was I doing in a cigar shop? I… Continue reading Binky Blinks
It has been a long time since last I posted. Over the past year, my “get up and go” simply “got up and went.” Life interceded and called my attention toward more pressing matters: the grappling with several dear friends challenges and illnesses, my daughter’s march toward Senior Year of High School and all it’s… Continue reading Nest to Next
