Squirrels
What details of your life could you pay more attention to? I’m very good at being busy. If there was a detail I need to focus on, it would be difficult to identify. I have been an ADHD kid all my life, long before the diagnosis was a thing. There was no medication for it…

Old Hurts
Just when you aren’t looking an old hurt, a forgiven hurt, pops up. You have forgiven the person and the thing they did to hurt you. You even forgot about it. Then there it is. Trying to get in your heart and scratch the scar. Tell it No. Hand it to Gods. Do not give…

Dedicated Time
Describe one habit that brings you joy. At the risk of sounding smitten, my husband and I devote the first hour of the day to each other. We sometimes talk about what the day holds. Sometimes we don’t talk at all. We made this commitment on day one when we decided to cohabitate. Nothing barring…

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

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…

It’s the smells
What makes you feel nostalgic? Warm cookies just out of the oven. Cut grass. Thunder storms. Honeysuckle in full bloom. Fresh brewed coffee. My husband’s neck when we embrace. Salt water in the air. Baby snuggles. Texas heat. Yes it has a scent, so does a crisp cool spring day in Florida. So many smells.…
