Seriously , Bruh

What is a word you feel that too many people use? I cringe every time I hear “Seriously!” It is so over used. While I’m complaining, let me add that “Bruh” is a sound not a word. Stop saying it. What happened to elegant conversation with meaningful words? One of the many degradations of society…

Peace for a Time

What brings you peace? Simple things…sitting next to my husband holding his hand or listening to his voice. Reading. Watching the rain. Petting my sleeping puppy. Counting stitches a I watch the needle go in and out of my embroidery fabric. Sitting in a room with silence. These things bring me peace, just not all…

Who Me? Part 2

How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? I would tell them how amazing I am. 🙂 Then I would read them my previous post titled “Who Me?” That should do it. Light & Love, Lori

Anywhere but here…

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? I love to travel and right now if I could I’d hop on a plane to anywhere. Don’t misunderstand, I also love my life, but with all that is happening around me, I need a rest. Sometimes I just want to fly away from…

Green Gravy

What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten? How can I choose just one delicious thing? I’ve eaten at five stars and sat at dirty picnic tables at the beach each with equally delicious things in front of me. My husband, daughter, mother, and countless other family and friends have over the years offered me…

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…

My Favorite Thing About Me

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? My favorite thing about me is my decisiveness. It has taken work for me to become a decisive person. In the past it would take me a long time to make a decision. Often I would get overwhelmed and just let someone else decide. I used to hem and…
