I feel a bit like time has stopped since sometime last week. Instead of moving with the rest of the world I feel like I am on a different track of time. I can hear the cars and trucks go by and they seem distant and far away, the hustle and bustle of the world [...]

Life really is better when you don’t have expectations. I am grateful for amazing friendships, great food, cool art, a body that works most of the time (mostly). Finding joy in smaller things. Finding out that living in the NOW, living in the present really can be pretty good, the future and present means less [...]

It is Sunday again. Amazing how it slips up on you and before you know it another week is starting. This weekend I am grateful for GREAT Girlfriends, long conversations, cinnamon lattes, exercise and a little bit of centering.

I want to restart my Grateful Sunday’s so this is the first of the new year. Today was a stunning day in Arizona with azure blue skies and a fun hike in the mountains and a rare glimpse at water from the storm we had last week.

I am grateful.
I am grateful that a very trying difficult and yet exciting year is coming to a close.

I am grateful for the generosity and kindness that has been shown me by family and friends [...]

Grateful for this season. How I am changing and that during this time of year I can look back at these changes with gratitude and confidence.

Grateful for life with its ups and downs.
