Abundance is the acknowledgement of enoughness. Happy Thanksgiving! The year is winding down as we head into the holiday season. This will be the four hundred and second Thanksgiving our country has celebrated. That is a lot of turkey and dressing! As you should have learned in school, the first Thanksgiving was in November 1621. …
It’s feast or famine. Some weeks I have so many topics whizzing through my head, I have a hard time pulling out just one. Other weeks, like today…crickets. This means I’ll wing it. Isn’t that like life though? To everything there is a season. We go through periods of rough spots, but thankfully we also …
“Empathy is really the opposite of spiritual meanness. It’s the capacity to understand that every war is both won and lost.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes…including you.” ~ Anne Lamott While the temps may not match up (yet), the arrival of fall has prompted me to hit the pause button. It has been a long and extremely hot summer, and much has been accomplished. I am about 30-40K …

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” ~ Sandy Dahl (Wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl) I write Tuesday’s blog on Monday. This week, I am going to share something a bit different – a video. It’s around 44 minutes …

“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.” ~ James Allen My last blog was HEAVY…as was my energy. Since then, the Tampa Bay area prepares for Idalia while the south continues a 3-digit heatwave. Friends are going through major life issues. 2024 is an …
