In stillness you will find unexpected beauty

I  hope everyone had a fantastic week while I have been away for my Thanksgiving with my family, I know I am exhausted no matter how relaxing it seemed at the time.  There is always so much to do and conversations that last long into the night along with too much to eat and too…

Unwinding with a little Bob Marley and unKindness

It seems like every year around the Holidays people I know are breaking up or fighting or something terrible and once again the heart break bug has struck but this time the victim was my bestie!  Now a girl can get protective when someone hurts her girl best friend, but when the heart gets crushed…

“truth more first than sun more last than star” e.e. cummings

being to timelessness as it’s to time, love did no more begin than love will end; where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim love is the air the ocean and the land (do lovers suffer?all divinities proudly descending put on deathful flesh: are lovers glad?only their smallest joy’s a universe emerging from a…

The peaceful tranquility of Dawn

If you like to sleep late then you probably miss out on one of the most spectacular times of day in my opinion, especially in the Fall.  The frost hangs heavy on what remains of the leaves on the trees and as the Sun edges over the horizon steam rises as the beams instantly bring…

Come a little closer to hear me whisper

I often find during the Fall everyone seems to lose their spunk when it comes to adding color to their wardrobes.  It’s like by Christmas suddenly everyone is putting on bright jewel tones because they are missing the warmth, but the Fall everyone turns to muted tones to mimic the world outside.  I am a…

Why is it every time I walk in the Coffee Shop I only think of coffee in bed?

Every morning I wake up and grab a cup of coffee and no strange memories come flooding in, it is just a cup of coffee after all.  But when I happen into a Coffee Shop I am suddenly overwhelmed with memories of you and coffee in bed.  It’s funny how years, even decades can pass…

Always remember to cherish those little moments

This week is very hard for me as the humans prepare for the passing of the 12 year old Pitbull who has filled my life with more joy and laughs than I could have ever imagined.  As we make his last few days as comfortable for him as possible I have been thinking a lot…

Don’t you remember?

With the tragedies of yesterday around the world I had a bit of a heavy heart last night as I put together this ensemble and I was surprised at how empty the grid was for a Saturday night.? Which of course worked well in my favor…

“Almond looks that chill divine”

I know I am showing my age today, but as I was putting this all together a tune from one of my all time favorite bands popped into my head and I have been unable to rid myself of the lyrics and the sounds of the chords, which means, you all get to be treated…

Heading back to the Milky Way

I have always been what my Father would call mercurial; constantly at the mercy of my whims.  But for most people this conjures the idea of an irresponsible, fickle person, which is incredibly far from the truth when it comes to me.  My Father taught me to be responsible in spite of my nature and…

“The home should be the treasure chest of living.” Le Corbusier

“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.” Gaston Bachelard Dreamer’s Hideaway For over a year and a half now, since my return to SL, I have felt very unsettled.  I…
