Live Long, yes please
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life? A want a long life, most days. On days when I am exhausted, not so much. My husband and I have an ongoing discussion about who will die first. I know, that sounds morbid. I tell him he is not allowed to…

A Billboard
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? Be kind. Respect others and yourself. Make peace a priority. Imagine what life would look like if we all did those 3 things without exception or conditions. Light & Love, Lori

Time
The greatest gift anyone has ever given me was their time. Time is priceless. There is never enough time in our day-to-day lives. It is gold when a person gives me even a moment to speak with me. Furthermore, if someone gives me hours of their life to read one of my stories, that is…

Get out of my Way
What are your biggest challenges? By far my biggest challenge to anything I do is me. My own impulsive thoughts or my inability to make a decision. Can I do this? Am I good enough? That’s so silly. Because all of that happens in my head. I got this. I can do hard things. Light…

I’m Curious about Everything
What are you curious about? I have always wanted to know the why of things. Maybe that is what led me to become a reference librarian and writer. I will research something for days, weeks even. Sometimes just so I can find out that it is a real thing. Life and humans are so much…

Stop and Rest
Sometimes you just find yourself exhausted. Not the sleepy tired that goes away with a good night’s sleep but the bone weary tired. You know the one, you go to bed with it and wake up with it the next morning. Yeah, that one. We know it is coming because we begin to feel it…

Wrong Question
Instead of asking how important spirituality is what we should be asking is if spirituality is important at all? Spirituality is not separate from human bodies and minds. We have a soul. We are alive. We are spiritual. It matters not if you are conscious of your soul or not. It exists just like flesh…
