tiny moments (and everything in between)
In my April Note last week, I shared a quote. I wrote that this quote was staying with me, playing over and over in my mind. This is still the case, the playing over and over, so I thought I’d share the quote here too. We are not feeling our feelings in order to get rid of them. We are … Continue reading As We Are
There’s rain and there’s coffee. There’s grey sky and there’s work. There’s clutter and there’s a clear desk. There’s laundry and there’s clean clothing. There’s breakfast and there’s lunch (and then there’s dinner). There’s yesterday and there’s today. There’s truth and there’s more truth. There’s love and there’s compassion. There’s one thing and there’s another. … Continue reading Rain and Coffee
Ten Things. Right Now. 1. the steam curling off my chamomile tea 2. the full heart after coming in from a walk with my daughter and pup 3. the messy piles on my desk (sigh) 4. the shadows falling across the yard, the sun low in the sky 5. the sweater, so fuzzy and warm … Continue reading :: Ten Things ::
Ten things. Right now. 1. the last hydrangea, clipped and brought indoors 2. the birch leaves lying on the grass, the patio...autumn is coming, and I'm glad 3. the pup, lying at my feet 4. watching a leaf falling from the tree, floating...such a gentle release 5. a sparrow at the feeder...the birds are happy … Continue reading :: Ten Things ::
Ten Things. Right Now. 1. the wind…it’s cold, but it feels so good…it lifts (branch, hair, spirit) 2. the pup at my feet…her loyalty, her furriness, her unconditional love 3. the sky…vast, open…covering, holding, reflecting 4. the last of the leaves…falling…unpretentious, somehow regal 5. my fleece jacket, my handknit hat, my son’s old gloves…so many … Continue reading :: Ten Things ::
Often, during the week, I think of things I want to write about in this space. Then, when the time comes to sit and write, I’m blank. And I know…keep a notebook handy, jot the ideas down. Sometimes I do, but mostly not. This space (and much of my work) has become a reflection of right now, … Continue reading You Can’t Plan ‘Now’…But You Can Do It
Ten things. Right now. 1. English Breakfast tea. With maple syrup. And a splash of cream. 2. Takenobu on Pandora. 3. Birds chirping. Two cardinals hopping in the grass. 4. A mist hanging over the backyard. The sky, white. 5. The birches dressed in green. It happened seemingly overnight. 6. Stretchy yoga pants. Because Pilates will … Continue reading :: Ten Things ::
It's early on this Friday. I've just had breakfast with my teen son; my daughter is still snuggled in her bed. I sit at my desk as I write to you and there's a draft from the window. But my slippers help, and the fleece blanket, and my thick sweater. The sky is just beginning … Continue reading Friday Gratitudes
Ten things. Right now. See that sky? That's my sky, right now. (well, a few minutes ago) (it was so beautiful) (and I wanted to share it with you) English Breakfast tea. With coconut palm sugar. Christmas music. Of course My worn, grey, wool sweater. I wear it, um, almost all the time once winter arrives. … Continue reading :: Ten Things ::
...and I'm back. Back on a cool September morning, the sun rising and filling the corners of our home, the windows cracked and spreading coolness upon my toes. Back with a cup of English Breakfast tea, sweetened with a touch of maple syrup (okay, a full tablespoon), a bit of milk. Agnes Obel on Pandora. A … Continue reading On a Cool September Morning
