JADE BRACELET AND COW BELLS Having a wonderful …AWARENESS .??….. A few moments of becoming aware of why wearing my JADE bracelet is so much more than I had intended. I had begun wearing it while I was writing or journaling just to remind me of the acronym J.A.D.E. – that I need not Justify, […]

Reasons, Not Excuses
“All successful people, men and women, are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.” Author Brian Tracy The above quote was the encouragement our writing workshop leader gave to begin our Work Together Time, today.

Would’a, Could’a, Should’a…

I had my patience tested. I’m negative.
I had my patience tested. I’m negative. I know, I know. You thought I had arrived…and was just all that and a bag of chips, but the truth is I think I’m missing the chips. Ok, I know, you know, I haven’t ‘arrived’ and I’m not even sure what ‘that’ is. When I’m feeling a […]

Have you ever felt like you needed some human understanding…?

Recently, we had to rush our precious Terrier/Chihuahua, Buddy, to the Vet with either a stroke, seizure, or poison induced seizure (toads in Florida – yuck).
