tiny moments (and everything in between)
I’m stymied, feeling like I know what to do but also not knowing what to do. I go through my to-do list, feeling good as I cross things off, especially the things that were carried over from last week. There are a few things niggling at me, things not on the list, but things that I … Continue reading being alive
My cosmos bloomed late this year. Like really late. Like last-week late. All summer long, the zinnias have been incredible in their reds – oranges – creams – yellows – bright pinks – light pinks – deep pinks. The cosmos though? Tall feathery stalks with not a single bloom. Not one. Until last week. … Continue reading All In Good Time
Sometimes Mondays look like autumn leaves scattered across the patio.

The changing patterns of light in the sky and upon our tables and walls and hardwood floors. The (intense) energy of summer days … Continue reading Moving into a New Season
One special week of practicing daily gratitudes...with you. For the birch trees out back and the way they move in the breeze. For Nature and the way she makes me gasp time and time again. For our pup and the way she loves. For second (and third) cups of tea and/or coffee. For the people … Continue reading Gratitude Week 2015 :: Sunday
