A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
I love watching nature shows. When I was in Alaska for a few months, I lived on the banks of Prince William Sound in an RV for a few weeks. As the days got longer and longer, I’d sit along the rocks of the water watching the wildlife. I made up my own nature shows… Continue reading Awe
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
Thanks to Daylight Savings Time I’m waking up early right now – I haven’t adjusted to my new wake up time. Rather than waiting for the alarm to go off this morning, I decided to just get up and take a longer walk with Denali. Although it was cold, it was a beautiful morning to… Continue reading A Walk in the Dark
I’m not quite sure when our relationship began – I can’t specify the year or age when we first connected. He’s always been there, but I didn’t start paying attention to him until possibly middle school? I think it was during a week at summer camp when I first really noticed him. I recall that… Continue reading Moon
I often start my day with a poem or blessing – to get my mind moving, to get beyond the thoughts rolling around in my head. More often than not, these words of others bring together ideas I’ve had but were unsure how to express. This morning was no different. From John O’Donohue, I read… Continue reading Interim
Do you ever look out the window in amazement at the trees, wondering how they know to grow and become? I do. Do you ever look in awe at the various shades of green that encompass your backyard, grateful for many hues? I do. Do you ever get the urge to look up and then… Continue reading Earth
I’m currently reading AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller. After reading Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, I’ve been fascinated with these long, daunting hikes across North American mountains. Both books highlight the difficulties and awe-some aspects of such hikes. However, no book can truly convey the realities… Continue reading Next
One evening during our vacation I got teary about a situation and Brad said, with concern in his voice, “I think you feel too much.” He might be right. A couple evenings before that we were at dinner – oceanfront view, warm breeze. It was the perfect setting for our beach vacation. There were even… Continue reading Feelings
We don’t have a fenced in backyard, so for the last two-and-a-half years we take Denali out on a leash each time she needs to go out. Since I’m usually up first, I take her out most mornings. We go out the basement door, cross the deck and into the backyard. Often I just stare… Continue reading Turn
We’re half way between the winter and summer solstices now. The only reason I know that is because I’m doing a Solstice Quilt Along. Each week Pat Sloan adds a new block pattern to her website for anyone to print off and create on their own. I’m really enjoying it! This is my first QAL… Continue reading Solstice QAL Update
