Has it Really Been That Long?
Exactly what I asked myself when I saw the date from the last time I have stepped in here. Time flies. Well, I hope your first three and a half months of this year have been going well for you. I hope you have found your word and it’s stuck by you and you stuck … Read More about Has it Really Been That Long?
5 Minutes Brings Peace
The other morning I stepped outside with my girls (my two doggies) as they went out to do their thing. It was barely even 5 am and although it has been absolutely freezing lately, the 22 degree temp actually felt kind of warm. Ha Ha. Snow still covered the ground, which completely silences everything…everything but … Read More about 5 Minutes Brings Peace
Do You Have Your Word?
Here we are, another year wrapping up. We’ve had so much going on at the end of summer and all of fall that suddenly November was here and gone and December seemed to pass me by even quicker. The holidays were good, as I hope yours were too. Yet now that is it all over, … Read More about Do You Have Your Word?
Are You Aware?
The other day I stopped in the store to grab something. My older boy wanted to go see something all the way on the other end of the store, so we cut through a middle isle, which happened to be the deodorant isle. At the time we were kind of in a hurry, so I … Read More about Are You Aware?
I’ll Be Able to Look Back and Laugh…
November is just about here and I’m sitting here wondering what happened to August. If you happened to read my post back in August, where a million things seemed to come down upon me, it hasn’t stopped since then. No wonder I feel lost to what month it is. Since my last post, it’s been … Read More about I’ll Be Able to Look Back and Laugh…
Our Connection to Nature
His hands are in the soil once again. He’s drawing in the sand with a stick in one hand, yet still holding a rock in the other. My older boy is off, laying on his tummy attempting to catch Water Striders from a nearby pond. A woodpecker sounds and they both look up in awe. … Read More about Our Connection to Nature
When it Doesn’t Seem to End…
It’s August…mid August at that and here I am wondering how the heck we got here not only so quickly, but in the speeding blink of an eye. My boys turned ten and three this year, all pretty much in the blink of an eye as well. And I told myself and my boys what … Read More about When it Doesn’t Seem to End…
Nature…A Way to Slow Time Down
Is it really mid July? I’m not sure how that happened. Honestly, I’m not. I always vow to slow things down…like time for example…yet lately the daily to do’s seem to grab me faster then I can blink. Yet even through the busyness and time seeming to fly, I have definitely found many pockets of … Read More about Nature…A Way to Slow Time Down
I Did Say I Wanted a Deeper Connection…
Earlier this year, one of my first post, I asked if you had a word that you would connect to that you would carry with you throughout the year as a gentle reminder to bring you back toward your goal. My word was ‘Deeper’. I wanted a deeper connection to everything. To my family and … Read More about I Did Say I Wanted a Deeper Connection…
It Might be Hard, but Don’t Give Up.
Spring came on quick this year…or did it…? I’m sitting on my laptop in my dining room, Indian style on my bench seat at my farmhouse table, warm Lemongrass Green tea beside me, my two-year-old sleeping on my lap. My big picture windows reminding me once again how unsettled nature is. Not even spring but … Read More about It Might be Hard, but Don’t Give Up.
Little Nora
We got a puppy. She’s incredible, and loving, and super, super soft and really well behaved for 11 weeks old. Yet that’s not what this post is about, really… Now I’ve had many dogs over the course of my life. Some that have lived their life to the fullest, to their ripe old age, and … Read More about Little Nora
Ambition
Ambition: A strong desire to do or achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. Man…it’s been an interesting couple of weeks. I would have had this posted back in February, but I had a bit of an issue with this blog, where everything I changed, updated and wrote from early 2020 until my most … Read More about Ambition
What’s Your Word?
Happy January! We’re 2 weeks in already. That’s crazy. I really hope your year is off to a good, positive start. In my last post I wrote about the importance of consistency and where it can get you by the end of the year. Especially if you commit to something every single day, even if … Read More about What’s Your Word?

Sometimes It’s OK to Hold on
This year is coming to a quick close, isn’t it? This past month I really gave it all my intention to make the coming of Christmas special for my boys. We decorated together, we crafted, we read a few Christmas stories, watched a bunch of Christmas movies, they both enjoyed an advent calendar, we baked, … Read More about Sometimes It’s OK to Hold on
