Summer Illusion
Looking out my window at the sunshine it is difficult to comprehend that much of the world is in chaos. Life is beautiful where I am. Not far is the shore with serene blue waves and sugar white sand. Heaven on earth. If I stop my thoughts there, close my eyes and breathe in the…

Born or Chosen Family
Today, May 30th is about family for me. My husband and I decided to make our separate lives a family on this day a few years ago. No, it is not our wedding anniversary. That came later. This day we made a decision to ignore anything that did not align with love. Today would have…

As I Lay Sleeping…
As you read this I am sleeping. I am getting my hand fixed. It’s a common thing. People like me who work with their hands wear them out. I have put this off a bit longer than I should have, but that’s normal for me. I have put my health on the bottom of my…

I Have No Idea
No, really I don’t. I have no idea why people make things so difficult. Just do what has to be done and leave the extra baggage on the side of the road. What happened was, I wanted to change something. Very simple, click clack boom. The person who was supposed to help me change it…
