I have recently been seeing a Facebook post make it’s rounds describing what is referred to as a ‘glimmer’. It states that they are micro moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace or gratitude, with the idea being that the more you look for glimmers, then more of these moments willContinue reading “…of Glimmers, Shimmers and Big Burly Bikes..”

I think maybe when one hears the words “feeling the feels” most would think of expressions of love. For me it isn’t just about love, romantic or otherwise. Feeling the feels can cover the entire range of feelings.. the drab, dull bleak or dark feelings.. the more peacefully hued feelings, all the way to theContinue reading “… of Feeling the Feels..”

Do you remember, back in elementary school, being asked by maybe a science teacher the question “What does a body need to live?” The obvious answers were food and water, followed closely by shelter and clothing. I hadn’t really thought of that question again until recently. And while the above answers are certainly factually trueContinue reading “of Connection…”

Once upon a time, some years ago, there was an actor. Said actor caught my notice with several movies, specifically as they were just fun to watch. And bonus, actor was pretty darn nice to look at, as well. Fast forward several years and the same actor cemented himself, in my mind, as an absoluteContinue reading “Of Perspectives….”

In the last few weeks we began a new journey, albeit a bit rockily. New state, new temporary home, new jobs. And if you know me at all you know that change isn’t something I am very good at. I don’t really like it. I like the comfortable, the known. But this was a neededContinue reading “Of Right Where I’m At…”

As weeks go this last one or two have been a real Doozy… with a capital D. The Holidays in and of themselves can be tricky enough all on their own. This one has been particularly so, with a notable lack of Holiday spirit, likely in large part due to a now complete (mostly) out-of-stateContinue reading “… of Silver Linings, really..”

We all have those days when we’re just not feeling it. I think that’s just human nature. But what about when it’s not just a day? What about when it is more like a week, or even for a season… like a Holiday Season? Our first Holiday Season after the loss of our daughter IContinue reading “Of Blue Silent Nights….”

Yesterday afternoon a dear friend of mine texted me, asking if I had any plans for this evening. In the current chaos that envelopes my life I must confess to preferring to spend as many evenings as I am able doing next to nothing. It’s a bit of a stress relief, though honestly not likelyContinue reading “Of Remembrance…”

You know those moments in life where you are in-between what was and a coming something important? Important, like those moments in life that will likely be definers. Definers of self, definers of family, definers of futures. Maybe even of legacies. These defining moments are what will be remembered, and hopefully with great fondness. ButContinue reading “Of the In-betweens..”

Seasons are never just the Seasons of the year, Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Seasons also encompass a time frame in our life. Could be a short season, could be an enendingly long season, or something in-between. For me the mid to late Summer is an especially hard ‘season’. Not only does it hold myContinue reading “..of Seasons, Baby Steps, and Giant Leaps..”
