Notes from the Road and Water: Finding Nemo

This morning I woke up positively giddy…because it is a day off. A. Day. Off. From. Training.

The Happy List.

I’ve always been a list maker – to-do lists, birthday lists, gratitude lists and when a friend sent me the above quote yesterday it got me thinking about happy lists. I remember one from when I was younger that included: balloons, doughnuts, and dinosaurs. I believe in the practice of writing things down – in [...]

Notes from the Road and Water Week 4: Learning to suck a little a better

The other morning I discovered I was out of coffee filters, so I threw a paper towel in the coffee maker and opened the fridge to make my son’s lunch…which turned out to be a can of artichokes, 5 blueberries, and a power bar.

String of Moments

Lately, as I head to bed I’ve engaged in the same nightly routine, I take the garbage out, shaking my head that I’ve failed to shovel the back walk, I head downstairs, turn out the light, shaking my head at the mess I cleaned once already hours before, I lock the doors, saying goodnight to [...]

The feel of silence…

With a cup of coffee to warm my hands I watched the sun rise over my favorite lake, I found myself thinking of moments when life splits into before and after…a friend whose son’s best friend died unexpectedly, the first anniversary of a friend’s father’s death, my family taking on the label of caregivers for [...]

Somewhere on my journey I heard that the word intention translates to “voice of the heart-mind”  in some eastern language. Who knows if it is true but I love it the concept. In the retreat [...]
