Wishing you all the joy of whatever religious celebration is yours - Easter, Passover, or Ridvan. The grands had Easter egg hunts and baskets and all the pleasure of searching for treats. I listened to Jesus Christ Superstar, which is my tradition. As a former Catholic, mostly Buddhist now, or Wiccan, or something, Easter is … Continue reading Celebrating the Day

Unbalanced
I've been thinking about this quote from Alain de Botton. There is no such thing as work-life balance. Everything worth fighting for unbalances your life. Ever since I decided to quit marketing my business and lean into semi-retirement, I've had new business drop into my lap pretty steadily. My plan was to work for the … Continue reading Unbalanced

Recalculating…
Do any of you remember when MapQuest, or whatever app it was back in the day, used to let you know you'd gone the wrong way by saying, in a judgmental tone of voice, "RECALCULATING..." before it gave you new directions. Sometimes it told you to make a u-turn, sometimes it just sent you around … Continue reading Recalculating…

His post is called "Shut Up and Dance: The Journey vs The Destination." This is one of several posts he's done lately … Continue reading The Dance of Submission

The Tie that Binds
I was walking home from the store yesterday when I spotted this: Do you see it? The tie hanging over a weed protruding through the fence? I almost walked right by it, but the touch of purple on the bottom caught my eye and I stopped to consider it. How did that poor tie end … Continue reading The Tie that Binds

Fortunately, my parents divorced when I was seven, so I didn't have his influence daily during the rest of my childhood and adolescence But I loved my Dad immensely, and never really stopped loving him, even though I ended our relationship when I was 16. … Continue reading Meanwhile, In Real Life…
