HERE COMES THE SUN
Little Darlin' Out on the trails at the break of dawn, Running has taken on a whole new utility for me. Morning sun, morning air, morning beauty everywhere. I used to get up early when I was training for marathons but attention was instead focused on pace and...
SATISFACTION
Bread of Life I bake my own bread now; mill the wheat and everything. Never have I ever tasted anything like it and 2 slices leave my taste buds appeased and my body fueled for hours. This bread, milled and then immediately baked, has all the nutrients, with the...
PATIENCE, DEAR ONE
I'mmmmm waitiiinnnggg That period of defined inaction, "Waiting" can actually be an action. I know, weird right? Patience: Calm Resolve, Tenacity, Determination, Endurance, Composure ... Quite a lot of activity packed into a seemingly passive word. Give yourself...
THE NOW
THIS IS IT This has to be enough ... THIS ... This Moment ... Not what it's leading up to, not what it's freeing you up to do ... that thing on the horizon, that state of reality being pursued. Planning for the future is wise. Living in that future plan has a heavy...

The LIGHT at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion … THE TUNNEL IS. A moment of clarity ... It can be fleeting, but hold on to that, expand on it. Assumptions tend to direct a great deal of our thoughts. We've had experiences, that's good. We've learned, that's...
QUALITY TIME
Wherever you go ... There you are 🙂 Quality Time ... We hear that term thrown around constantly, goading you, guilting you to achieve this most sought after reward. What exactly defines time as quality? And who is in charge of that distinction? If you listen to...
WAITING
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Well ... Contemplating, Resting, Listening, Observing, Deciding, Thinking ... Not Waiting. Waiting implies wasting and it's anything but; it implies lack of control of a situation. Our inner dialogue is key. Language packs a heavy punch....
CHANGE
The Only Constant Is Change. Cute saying but nope. Not Change. "I need to change," is a misleading statement. This is the language we use to define ourselves ... but we don't change. We don't change who we are ... We Grow. All those traits, those inborn...
