Here’s some of my earlier writing…
In celebration of growth – an invitation to celebrate my birthday with me!
My birthday is coming up on Thursday, and since my dear friend Michele is throwing a little celebration in my honour tomorrow night (if you live close enough, YOU are welcome - at least, if you fit the "ladies only" profile), I've decided that this year I'm going to...
Weekend wanderings
Sometimes after a weekend, I feel like I need to come back to work to rest. Weekends can get a little frantic, with too many errands to run, too many schedules to juggle, too much laundry, and too much grocery shopping, and cleaning and whatever-needs-to-be-done. But...
If wishes were horses, I’d be riding all the way to the East Coast!
Remember all those wishes yesterday? Well, I've got BIG news! BIG! Even bigger than the little wish I voiced yesterday! First, the fun stuff... I rode my bike to work today! For the first time this season and the first time post-surgery! Woot! So... I've got a good...
I wish…
It's been an emotionally heavy month in an emotionally heavy year. Some days, it feels like my heart doesn't know where to land anymore. I have been torn apart by some pretty significant work challenges, relationship challenges, leadership challenges, parenting...
Fear gets in the way
About 10 years ago, I picked up my first Margaret Wheatley book and knew fairly quickly that there was something unique about the wisdom I held in my hands. She wasn’t just spewing out old ideas about leadership and organizational structure – she was daring to paint a...
Let’s get back to happy!
A few weeks ago, during the dark time, I had a sudden out-of-the-blue memory that I'd signed up for The Happy Book Mail-around. The thought that followed was "Oh dear God - don't let it arrive on my doorstep right now! If it does, I may not be able to stop myself...
The secrets the body wants to tell me
The last couple of months - what with the surgery, the near loss of my beloved, and the trip to a wisdom-filled conference in Chicago stuck in the middle - have included some deep spiritual growth that surprised me and that I'm just now finding the time to process. ...
When the ground feels shaky, learn to move with it
"When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: there will be earth to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly." - Author unknown Today is my first day back at work after three weeks of spending time with my beloved as we...
Getting nostalgic over a giant moose
It's difficult to find words to convey the gratitude I feel for all of the beautiful, heartfelt comments on my last post. It wasn't easy being that honest, but as is usually the case when we make ourselves vulnerable, you opened your virtual arms and wrapped them...
Committed to love, tethered to pain
In that blissful white-wedding-dress moment when you say "I do", you don't pay much attention to the meaning of the words "for better or for worse, in sickness and in health." You just know you're in love and "together" sounds better than "alone". At that moment, you...
