Have you stopped to smell the roses of summer yet? The lilacs and daffodils are long gone already! What’s blooming in your yard,… Continue reading Almost June

Mother’s Day
Here we are at Mother’s Day already. This ‘holiday’ means many things to many people. Some women become mothers in a traditional way. Spouse, biological kids. Other mothers adopt. Some foster, but whether or not they adopt a foster child, they are acting in a mothers’ capacity to that child. Some women are mother figures… Continue reading Mother’s Day
Moving Through March!
March is in full swing! It came in like a lamb, but I’m hoping it goes out like one too and not a lion! All in all, we’ve had quite the mild winter! Except for the holiday storm that dropped the temperature to arctic blast! The robins are taking over my bird feeder, and I’ve… Continue reading Moving Through March!
What’s important for your holidays?
Labor Day passed, launching the start of the holiday season! At least that’s how I perceive it each September. Halloween, my favorite, came and left quickly. But really, it’s on it’s way again, in just 10 1/2 months! Thanksgiving was quiet in my house. Although I am truly thankful for ALL the blessings in my… Continue reading What’s important for your holidays?
JUNE. AKA, PRIDE MONTH
June is rolling by quickly! I’ve finally had time to take a breath and write a blog! As I write and delete what I want to say, my mind is racing all over the place. There is so much to say about Pride Month I don’t know where to begin and keep it short. After… Continue reading JUNE. AKA, PRIDE MONTH
A Moment in Time
We all have moments in time that we can pull from our memories instantly. Those moments of extreme emotions that range from pure joy, to devastating loss. I bought a sign a few years ago that reads, ‘We remember moments, not days.’ It’s a common sign at gift shops and online as well. We say… Continue reading A Moment in Time
But is it REALLY Spring?
The calendar claimed spring started on March 20th. Granted, we’ve had a couple of nice warm days. However, I’ve walked through snow flurries the last two days! My one random little purple crocus is blooming in the front yard, but laying on its side, as if to hide from the wind and cold. Birds are… Continue reading But is it REALLY Spring?
New Horizons
Spring is for sure on the way now. I’ve seen robins and heard many birds singing on my early morning walks. I’ve even seen rabbits looking for the bird seed by the feeder. I’m told they’re around all winter, but I rarely see them. The current situation in the Ukraine and Russia is throwing yet… Continue reading New Horizons
Practical vs. Impractical. Judging vs. Let It Be.
What’s the difference between practical vs. impractical? I hear talk about that a lot. There’s common things, for instance, don’t drive on the roads during a blizzard. Or wearing sunscreen on a hot day. Don’t spit into the wind! But what about other things? Things, events, or situations we put ourselves in. What’s practical and… Continue reading Practical vs. Impractical. Judging vs. Let It Be.
January Blues, or is it January Bright Skies?
January. The let down month after all the holidays! It’s always a long month, filled with cold, wind and the dreariness of mid west winter. However, it always passes into February with Ground Hog’s Day, Valentine’s Day and before you know it Mardi Gras and Lent for those that celebrate it. I hope the holiday… Continue reading January Blues, or is it January Bright Skies?
