1000 pieces.
I swore there were pieces missing.
Then, as I neared completion, I was sure there were TOO MANY pieces.
How crazy is that?!
The sneaky puzzle people had two areas where the pieces were the same shape, and you could tell the piece needed to be “there” but it just was not working.
Un...
If you’re like many of us, you take for granted that you have lots of time.
Time to live your life.
Time to build your dream.
Time to give back.
Time to make that special experience for a special someone.
Time to _________. You fill in the blank.
We all have dreams, desires and goals.
And we ...
I had a small credit card size wallet I wanted to gift.
Someone in my Buy Nothing group raised her hand.
And for whatever reason, I was inspired to put a dollar bill and a penny inside. A bright shiny penny.Â
I was curious how she’d respond.
Ok. Back story provides context: I was gifted a lovely...
January 2023 I thought I knew where I was going this year.Â
I reflect on this year as I begin to look forward to what I desire to create for next year.Â
With each choice made, all other options collapse. This is universal law. This is quantum physics.Â
I was focused and committed to my target.
U...
I didn’t know it, but the decision I made would change my life.
I saw the announcement about an event in a state I loved and I didn’t hesitate or give it a second thought. I said yes, clicked through and invested.
No second thoughts. No excuses. No what ifs or yeah buts.Â
This is the ease of maki...
We are all in the same classroom, but not necessarily in the same grade.
This nugget came through in an audio drop this morning in my Caring For Your Sacred Vessel.
That was not my thought or wisdom, it just dropped in in the moment.
In the past I have made the mistake of assuming that because so...
When I hold my grandson in my arms and give him a bottle … life stands still … I am only there for him.
We have a “ritual” — well, I have a ritual. I feed him in his room, while I sit in the rocking chair my father gave my mother when she was pregnant with me, and I am all his. No phone. No compute...
Pushing through because it’s the thing to do, or it’s expected of you, … doesn’t always work.
Â
For the better part of 2+ weeks, my newborn grandson has struggled and I’ve allowed myself the flexibility to be there for him and his parents.
Â
My target date to “get back at it” came and went … it ...
In a traditional job when we make a mistake, you know what will happen. Wrists slapped, maybe called out in front of others around a boardroom table, perhaps even fired. (When I worked for a huge international company for a department President, he loved to send me to the principals office: the HR d...
I met a Quintessential Woman last week. She is an embodied Jewish Priestess who exudes joy, grace, mirth. She lives and breathes her faith without pretentiousness. Her faith is her life; her life is her faith. She carries out her best practices without any show or need for attention. In fact, if I d...
Budget retrenchment. 1982.
Another word for layoffs.
I was in that group of layoffs from a rather sweet job on the University of Minnesota, St. Paul campus. I’d been promoted — at a rather young age — and I had a “staff” of one.
Then I didn’t.
Remember the want ads in newspapers?
That’s where ...
Great conversation with Nicole. It was our first Instagram Live so we both made our way through the tech for the first time together.
Skip ahead to 2:00 minutes unless you delight in watching someone learning something for the first time! IG doesn't allow download and consequently I cannot edit!
