Does your work “Spark Joy”?

On April 25, 2019

A last-minute opportunity to nab a couple of the long sold out tickets to Kenny Chesney came up. While not a close follower of his music, I thought—it’s a beautiful spring night, at a venue I haven’t been to before, and I know I’ll be totally refreshed by fan energy. Well, consider me a

What Do You Love About YOU?

On February 14, 2019

What do I love about me? That’s the question we were asked to envision for our morning yoga practice. As I laid there on the mat, with my arms wrapped around my torso like I’m giving myself a big hug (a great stretch to warm up the thoracic spine), not a darn thing came to

Who Wants to Shovel Snow? I Do! I Do!

On January 17, 2019

I had a great time shoveling snow this weekend! Bet that’s not what you expected me to say. I found it very calming and energizing. So much in our life is complex, unsolvable, unfinished.

Is it OK to Get Angry?

On September 6, 2018

I was so angry. Angrier than I can remember being in years. Something I thought was fixed, had unraveled again. It was important to me. And the person who I thought was taking care of it, wasn’t. This is not a feeling I’m used to, anger. I really try to approach things with an open

Fix the Drip!

On August 23, 2018

I had become immune to the drip. For a while, the sprayer function on my kitchen faucet hasn’t worked. Then an annoying tiny spurt of water from the corner of the downspout. And then…water dripping down the neck and pooling at the base. I started keeping a rag near the counter, so I could wipe
