Sharing this wonderful piece from Lisa Dingle’s blog. So timely as we come through a month of very hectic family events, some planned, some unexpected. While my own plans for a do nothing day this weekend were sidelined by a random stomach bug, I am not feeling badly. I have actually been enjoying the sights […]

So fellow travelers, just some simple words and a gift from the garden this morning. The opportunity to nurture life is the best gift. To be nurtured by others is the greatest blessing. Whatever your reason may you celebrate this day with joy. Walk gently on the path my friends and may adventure find you […]

So fellow travelers, if there is one lesson I have learned and taken to heart, it is this: When my soul is restless, when something is amiss, when my body, mind and spirit are out of sync there is only one reliable remedy I can take. I take a hike, or at the very least […]

So fellow travelers, I have been in a bit of a haiku slump. So much so, I posted this from Facebook on my creative tribe’s page. At least I’m laughing while sitting in this writing ditch. Then this morning a single ray of light cracked open the ice dam. First Light golden gift […]

So fellow travelers, one more connected post to share. I’ve shared posts from Tom Atkins often, either here or on my own Facebook wall. His writing, both poetry and prose often give voice to thoughts and feelings with both clarity and directness I need. This post speaks to coming through the experience of negative attacks […]

So fellow travelers, a wintry mix of sleet and heavy snow shut down my weekend plans for a reunion with some of my creative tribemates. Little did I know the weekend storm had an avalanche in the works as well. As a veteran resident of Upstate New York winters, I have a high tolerance for […]

So fellow travelers, our first heavy snowfall of the season closed schools this morning. Whenever I have the gift of a snowday I try to resist the inclination to do ordinary tasks. All that cleaning, sorting, paperwork and mundane “to do’s” can wait until the weekend as usual. An unexpected day off is a chance […]

So fellow travelers, looks like Old Man Winter may put in an appearance over the next few days. Winter storm alerts are popping up on local media. Right on cue, banks of Lake Effect clouds are building over Lake Ontario. Sunrise cast a glorious light on the massive blocks of grey. Naturally an image so […]
