Hope is spring to me and spring time arouses hope. As a gardener and a curious sort, wandering around seeing the green tips of new life coming up from the dark, wet, cold earth NEVER gets old. I am sure if I were left in the earth through fall and winter, I would...

The first years I was a “consultant”, each Sunday I would pull out the classifieds and see if there was a better job with more pay and less hours out there for me. This week I received another job offer because of my expertise and experience and it reminded me that it...

Way back before any of us were born, terrifically courageous people lived, survived, thrived, and then wrote about it. They have inspired us for hundreds and thousands of years. They faced the most horrific conditions of life: Being sold as a slave and being...

Take a break from all the information and breathe. I’ve done more reading and research in the past 3 months than in my whole life. May I suggest we take a break from wanting to learn what is actually happening in our world, to just finding a space to be. Out of my...
