Thanks for your patience!
Basked in my creativity today. Got errands done with no stress. Returned and changed over my closet to Spring clothes. On a new wardrobe high, I created and sent a thank you note to the lovely cousins whom we stayed with in Carolina Beach, North Carolina over the Spring break. But it was in the…
I can remember being very impatient with the way the seasons would take their time to move on. It seemed like an infinity to wait before Spring would arrive. I feel very differently now at twice the age. I like how long Winter takes because I don’t have as much to be responsible for while…
The weather has broken finally. Usually it’s hotter than heck around this time in August. I am not complaining. In the Spring I was taking daily walks and I have been able to return to these. Like a moving prayer, I feel all sorts of hopes and connections bubble to the surface as I walk….
Rather than chose to focus on what’s sucky today, an emotional addiction to chaos I’ve been auto-playing for years, I now have an intention to see what is good. It’s a working intention that’s working more and more for me. I acknowledge the good and bad and look for the hope before concluding the chapter….
Here’s the story of how Moonvine’s owner Pama and I became friends. 15 years ago, My sister and I were walking around Easton, Maryland one day and she spotted a funky little shop across the street. It was between the ice cream parlor and the coffee shop on Goldsborough Street. And she insisted we go…
(Originally published on the blog here 4 years ago, the little birds are building their nest again and I thought to revisit this piece as I don’t think I can say it any better than I already did.) Every year, outside our bedroom windows, pairs of little red house finches fuss at each other as…
After my April post on traumatic stress had diminished, I began to warm up to Spring and the hope it brings. Eventually I was convinced by May’s visual barrage of green and the loud insistent chorus of birds to accept Spring’s arrival of Hope. We’ve taken strolls and played in new sandbox sand. Powerwashed and…
I was really forcing a smile when I wrote my first Spring post. Sometimes you put a smile on and hope to grow into it. I felt no love for the weather at the time. My faith was drained. But the earth, in the process of doing her ‘thing’, eventually she gets to you. April…
A couple of weeks ago, Winter began to expand its boundaries into some mythical time warp, like the last week of a pregnancy.Reality can be cruel. I used to say that by the time any season has officially arrived, we’ve already experienced enough of the upcoming telltale weather to believe it’s truly here. We’ll have…
Here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, when we say we’re going over the bridge, it usually means a 45 minute drive west over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge into Annapolis, MD and destinations beyond. A grand adventure since the big cities beyond, Baltimore or Wash DC, are way more exciting than out little rural town…
