Christmas: The Season Of Waiting

Christmas: The Season Of Waiting

The snow that was falling over the last few days was a reminder that Christmas is on the way. As our little grandsons returned from a holiday in the sun with anticipation of playing in the snow the next morning, their waiting was disappointed as it was all gone when they woke up. For me, Christmas is a season of waiting but a reminder, as well, to enjoy the little […]

Take a few minutes to watch this lovely video. What do you believe about the beauty of this planet? What do you teach your children?

Blissful Rest In The Midst Of A Busy Life

This beautiful picture was taken by Linda Wilson, a friend of mine, and it captures perfectly for me the sense of peace and calm I am seeking as I go off on another silent retreat this weekend.

Thanksgiving – What Are You Grateful For?

Thanksgiving – What Are You Grateful For?

Thanksgiving always brings memories for me of years of turkey dinners with little children at my feet. For many years I have been the one cooking the turkey dinner for our family and I love the atmosphere the day creates at home. As our children have grown they have begun to create more and more of the food but the menu rarely changes. The old standbys of squash and […]

My Book Is Finished –  Dreams Really Don’t Have Deadlines!

My Book Is Finished – Dreams Really Don’t Have Deadlines!

This morning I printed off my book on the topic of food sensitivities and children! It has been an interesting experience to notice the emotional roller coaster that it has placed me on. There is a huge sense of relief, of gratitude, of adventure and gleeful terror over what might be next as well as more than a few saboteur voices of doubt. This book, like the ones written by […]

What Is The Kindergarten Answer To Your Problem?

Are you like me who ponders, thinks, tries, researches and often falls pray to "struggling" to find answers to the pressing challenges of your life? What if you stepped outside of the issue and pondered what wisdom might be found in a playground sandbox attitude, instead? Sometimes we get so emeshed in our problems that we "can't see the forest for the trees". We believe the answer will be found […]

The Lifetime Question

"What are the five most important goals I want to achieve in my lifetime so that when I am lying on my deathbed, I can look back at my life and feel satisfied and complete? If I spend the next 5 years the same way I've spent the last 5 years, how much closer to achieving my lifetime goals will I be?" What great questions to ponder! I attended a […]
