Almost seven weeks ago I had a hysterectomy. That was originally why I was tired. Since then, I’ve added a few more things to my “this is why I’m tired” list. I don’t share this for sympathy or advice. Mostly I just want to get it all out on paper and share a few cute… Continue reading This Is Why I’m Tired

An Angel Covered in Fur
The plan was to get a puppy when Denali was around 8 years old. We figured it would give her a boost in energy and give me the boost I’d need when the inevitable happened. It was a good plan, but I figured it would never come to fruition because of the other plan —… Continue reading An Angel Covered in Fur
My Eye Kept Twitching
As the Camino approached I knew I needed to make some adjustments in my schedule. For the last year or so I’ve had the unlimited package at my yoga studio. Knowing that I would be gone or very busy for most of June and anticipating the arrival of our puppy in July, I decided to… Continue reading My Eye Kept Twitching
Meet Steve
The last post I wrote about a puppy was about how we weren’t getting the one we picked out in early May. But, somehow between finding that out on June 26 and flying home on June 28, we found a puppy on June 29 and picked him up on June 30. A bit of a… Continue reading Meet Steve
She’s 10!
My Facebook memories for today are full of Denali birthday posts (Andrew too, but I guess Denali is more photogenic lol). I can hardly believe she’s ten. We’ve been together since she was 9 weeks old. As I’ve been thinking about her birthday, I’ve come up with a few lists about my baby dog. What… Continue reading She’s 10!
One month
A month from today I'll be in Madrid! It's hard to believe the time is almost here. This morning Denali and I went out for a prep walk. Although it's not completely packed yet, I tried to get in most of what I'll be taking into my backpack before we left. It was about 9… Continue reading One month
With People
My Myers Briggs type is ENFJ. My Enneagram number is two. If you know anything about either of those, then you know I like to be around people. Although I suspect my “E” isn’t as strong as it used to be, I’m still an extrovert. What’s surprising to me is that a lot of the… Continue reading With People
A Variation on Church
Before we even step outside the excitement builds. She knows what’s coming – the movement, the smells, the sights, the sounds. She’s eager to experience it all! Call to Worship We walk to the back of the yard to check out the flowerbed. Crocus – purple and white. Some frost bitten from an early bloom.… Continue reading A Variation on Church
All Around
Breathwork class begins with an opening circle. We breathe. We pay attention. We observe. We do not judge. After moments of collective and individual centering, we are given the opportunity to share an intention for the breathwork. My intention is different every time – different in the words I use, that is. However, I think… Continue reading All Around
Pilgrimage
I’m nowhere near Spain, yet the pilgrimage has already begun. In June I’m joining my mom and other United Methodist clergy to walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago. Starting in Madrid we will walk 130 miles over 15 days. Although I am in good shape and run and walk often, I still need… Continue reading Pilgrimage
