Crazy Night
It’s Halloween, blue moon, full moon and clocks fall back an hour in Florida. I’m not into pretend scary stuff. Life has taught me that there is enough real evil in the world. Be watchful and smart about the fun you have tonight. Don’t invite evil into your space.

Be True
Do you have a dream? Yes you do. Think about it….yeah that…that thing you’ve always wanted to do. Be true to you. Follow that string of thought. Find the way to do that thing, to reach the end of that goal. Humans are happier with something to strive for or a dream to live.

Sunshine after the Storm
Hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida. I’m used to it. So many humans ask me, “Why live there?” I live here because it’s home and the storms are not an every day occurrence. Storms remind us that rough times come but they also move on leaving the sunshine that follows. Wait for the…

What Now?
I don’t know what it is lately but it feels like my family is under attack from outside sources. Things I am desperate to protect them from and keep out of our lives. Back up and slow down. Life is getting unrecognizable. Focus on what’s important but pay attention to what is happening outside your…

Self Respect

You are allowed to take up space.
You and the things that make you happy are allowed to take up space. It is your responsibility to manage that space so that it does not impede on the space of your fellow humans, especially the humans you love. The mental, emotional, and physical space you need to survive are all on you and…

Focusing takes Practice
Being present is difficult in today’s distracting environment. Try this the next time you sit down for a meal, before you take that first bite. Turn off all screens. Place your phone in another room. Under your pillow is a good spot. Set the table. If your serve from the kitchen, set your place at…

I Got Nothing
I have nothing to say today. I guess that in itself says a lot. It’s days like this that I just stay quiet. Seems these days are multiplying. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not depressed. I’m happy and at peace. This peaceful mood I’m in is also quiet and thoughtless because my mind is at peace. First…
