well, there’s a first time for everything and I was just inspired to contribute, so here goes… So, the fly on my wall sees me in my typical Saturday morning attire, position and disposition. comfy clothes, coffee in hand, checking email, everything status quo. Nothing outwardly alluding to the “field and stream” ish thoughts that haunt my head and heart. Camouflaged in my worn jeans, unbrushed hair and in need of a shower (or at least some deodorant) I hunker down behind my laptop and quietly await my prey. My sight is on and my focus is keen. Page 1, 10 per page, scroll, scroll, stop, pull laptop closer to…

It’s not even my world but I’m shaken. The only thing that keeps me standing is that you haven’t changed. If you had because of this or you got here because you changed, then I would have collapsed. It was always off the table for us. And it should have been. Our relationship would not be what it is today or what it will be tomorrow if it had. For that, I understand and I am grateful. Still. I know this is not what you ever imagined for yourself but I do believe you will discover joy. A part of me just wishes we could have shared this joy together.…

I can’t believe I’ve found him. I didn’t think it was possible. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this way that I didn’t think it was ever going to happen again. He seemed to show up out of nowhere and he captivated me from the first moment I heard him speak. But of course I kept guarded. Too much happened the last time I believed things would work out…the last time I trusted the universe to do me right..and it didn’t. I couldn’t let that kind of disappointment happen to me again. I wouldn’t let it happen again. So what is it about him that gives me hope? That…

It seems that lately my conversations, reading materials, visual entertainment, etc. are all in conjunction with a particular theme…to embrace ALL the moments that make up this life.Too many times I get caught up in the goals and wants on my life, my mind focusing and obsessing almost to exclusion. Granted, my goals and desires shift and change in swirling kaleidoscope that sometimes it is hard for me to draw a straight line from point A to point B.But today, I want to revel in the simplicity of how amazing my life truly is. This morning I woke to the sound of the pounding surf that I could view from…

My subscription to eHarm just ended and I am jumping for joy! Admittedly, the only time I was 100% committed to the process was during the first 32 hours after signing up and about 1/4 of that was to fill out the horrendously long questionnaire (and maybe another 6 of those hours were spent sleeping). But I tried. I really did. It may have never surpassed a 75% effort after the first full day, okay maybe it was only 65%, but I tried to be as positive as I could and do as a committed person would (committed to the process that is, not one needing to be committed). I…
