I ❤️ Mail
I love real mail. Paper and stamps and cards and words… It takes time to mail a real letter. Few humans take the time to send cards or letters. Even at Christmas time there is an overwhelming feeling that sending cards is not a priority anymore. It is truly a dying art. I wonder if…

Where Are you From?
I am from everywhere and no where. I spent a quarter of my life in Texas, a quarter of my life in England and half of my life in Florida. I also consider myself fairly well traveled. When someone asks me where I am from mostly I say Florida since it feels most like home.…

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…

I Choose Peace
We are mistaken when we think our happiness and our peace will come from an external source. Your happiness and peace come from your soul. Yes external things can distract you from your peace. The problem isn’t that things prevent peace or take it away. When you move your focus from peace to the external…
