How I’m Learning To Step Out Of The Comfort Zone Of Creativity
“The only unique contribution we’ll make in this world will be born of creativity.” ~ Brene Brown There’s this crazy, confusing thing happening as I get older. As I’ve passed through the decades and find myself looking at a life ahead that is bound to be on the downhill slope, I see with clarity things […]

The Transfer of Mothering
There’s no denying it’s been a tough winter. Since December we’ve been battling injuries, experiencing traumatic loss, and watching people we care about learn how to live with a new normal. It’s been five months of deep, belly-filling breaths, long moments of silence and staring into the horizon, and valiant attempts to trust the journey we […]

Easy Ways To Embrace A Healthy Lifestyle
At this point in life, I’m learning that things that used to be easy in my twenties, like sitting cross-legged for hours on end, just aren’t quite as simple now. Or running a 5K. Or staying up late to go to see The Cure in concert night after night. Passing 50 last December was certainly […]

Being Reminded Of Life’s Other Half
Last weekend we remembered and rejoiced the life of a young man who died in an avalanche last winter. His tragic passing rattled any sense of security I was feeling about my own children on the mountain, out doing what they love and the possibility… There, under the spectacular azure sky painted with swirling clouds, […]

In Our Most Ordinary Days
In our most ordinary days we have moments of happiness, moments of comfort and enjoyment, moments of seeing something that pleased us, something that touched us, moments of contacting the tenderness of our hearts. We can take joy in that. I find that it’s essential during the day to actually note when I feel happiness […]

The Only Appropriate Response Is Gratefulness
Gratefulness You think this is just another day in your life. It’s not just another day. It’s the one day that is given to you: today. It’s given to you. It’s a gift. It’s the only gift that you have right now. And the only appropriate response is gratefulness. If you do nothing […]

I’m Flying
It’s that uneasy feeling in my core that momentarily makes me shudder. I try not to sit over the wing, but this time I must have gotten too close. It’s grey outside LAX – an uncommonly rainy day in southern Californa, to be sure. As the plane gathers altitude and begins to shake, my head […]

It Won’t Go On Like This Forever
I discovered this most timely poem on The Writer’s Almanac, a favorite site for all things literary. Does it speak to you, too? Forseeing by Sharon Bryan Middle age refers more to landscape than to time: it’s as if you’d reached the top of a hill and could see all the way to the end […]

5 Key Times To Go With Your Gut
More and more lately, I’ve experienced moments when my intuition speaks to me. You know that feeling, right? Sometimes it’s telling me that I’ve left something behind as I’m rushing out the door, late for work. Or that I’ve forgotten to turn off the burner (sorry, John, I know you hate it when I do […]
