Traveling the World Through Others
Today I am thinking heavily about the third agreement: “Don’t make assumptions.” Ruiz writes that we are living in a dream, and we turn this dream into a nightmare every time we assume what others are thinking or feeling about us. Oh, is this so true for me. My empathic abilities, which always enable me…

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold, but truly I think it is a metaphor for embracing all flaws and imperfections.

After the past seven years, I am feeling pretty schooled in the ways of the world. In addition, this past COVID year and recent changes in my life have caused me to feel as if I have advice to give. You may be thinking what my qualifications are for giving you advice. Here is my…

Yesterday, Jonah and I were getting ready to take our dog, Lope, for a walk. Phoenix, our white and black cat, ran quickly out the door. This is not a big deal since he gets out almost daily and walks around the wooded area that surrounds our home. As we put Lope on her leash…

Another Monday, and the rest I received from my slow paced Sunday really had zero effect on my energy level today. In addition, it is a balmy 60 degrees at the beginning of February, but this damn building is still cold. How do concrete buildings do it? How are they able to lock in so…
