A leap into the unknown
Sometime, the best of plans simply don’t pan out. In this case, I’ve come to a point in time where I need to make a decision…the road has forked and it’s time to move in a different direction. The question is always – what exactly is next? Will the road ahead be better maintained andContinue reading “A leap into the unknown”
The Haunted House
“my thoughts inside my head, get lost inside the haunted house” Ryan Adams The road of personal growth is fraught with challenges = it’s hard work with lot’s of pitfalls and ways to get knocked down.

Crossing the Threshold
“I walked through the door and instantly felt home” … anonymous We walk through many doorways or thresholds daily. Seldom do we stop to notice what happens when we cross into another space. We simply move from space to space without consciousness. What happens when you take a moment to stop and experience what it’sContinue reading “Crossing the Threshold”
Coming Home
My feelings are mixed this morning as we prepare to head back home – sadness, mixed with a longing for the familiar (our space, our things, our cats).
