Mindfulness

I mentioned a week or so ago, that I was taking up meditation again, I even signed up for a 40 day mindfulness challenge.  It’s been going pretty well.   I feel more calm through out the day and more connected which is nice.   The challenge I’m doing is encouraging you (me) to be...

Happy Monday!

Good morning Friends!  It’s going to be a great day and here’s why… I get to spend it with my mom. We don't have plans yet but we probably visit and go to the grocery store. I get to make more homemade bread!  It’s delish! Today is sheet day so I get to go to... Continue Reading →

Bread – the staff of life

Yesterday, I decided to get serious.  See, I love baking bread but I haven’t done it in a while now.  Partly because I wanted whole grain bread and DH doesn’t like it.  He likes white bread… oh he likes SaraLee Honey Wheat bread and it doesn't count.   But I’m really working hard on my...

It’s just a phase…

I don’t know about you, but I tend to live in phases… you know, a yoga phase, a writing phase, a walking phase, a meditation phase, a qigong phase, a juicing phase… I wish I could just combine them all and live in one BIG phase where I incorporate them all. I woke up the... Continue Reading →

Finding the Artist in me

This week, I'm trying to find the artist in me, so yesterday, I grabbed my camera, my real canon camera, not just my phone (it's been a long time since I've done this), the dog, my jacket and we went for a nice nature walk. I stopped and got in weird positions (the leash was... Continue Reading →

I've been thinking about Life purpose for a while now... Well, like my whole life, really. I think about my personal purpose. Why am I here? What is my significance? What am I supposed to be doing? Do I even a purpose? Do any of us? Is there really some big plan? Is there one... Continue Reading →

Healthy(ier) eating

I'm really trying to get my health going in the right direction again... one meal at a time. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. You know what is easy? Running down the street to Culver's, or downtown for Mexican, or Italian... But... it's easier on my pocketbook and my cholesterol if I cook... Continue Reading →

Birdsong…

This morning as I sat in my chair by the big picture window, tea in hand, I watched as three birds landed on the recently filled bird feeder. I tried to catch a photo but of course, when I moved my arm they flew away. (This photo was in the afternoon as I was writing... Continue Reading →

None of that matters…

Yesterday, DH and I visited the Auschwitz exhibit. It was so moving. The website said to plan for 120 minutes... they were a little off... we spent 3.5 hours there. I just felt like I needed to look at each and every photograph, listen to each story thoroughly. I owed it to the those who... Continue Reading →

Traditions

I'm sitting here this morning in the quiet of the house, before anyone else is up, watching the sunrise behind the Christmas tree. It's beautiful. The pinks and purples and reds... It's just... magnificent. Isn't it beautiful! It's distracting me from my post but what a beautiful distraction... I want to keep taking photos as... Continue Reading →
