Learning to take up space, authentically!
The Universe reminds us all the time what it needs from us. And this week, I was reminded every single day to just let life be what it is. What it is… Every day that I sat down to write this week, I was interrupted by something. Every. Single. Time. And it was legitimate interruptions;Continue Reading “A Space for What Is”
Yesterday, I awoke with the expectation of this: early yoga workout, meditation, coffee, and quiet time on the couch catching up on my reading. Yesterday, what I got: early yoga workout…crying child when I stepped out of the shower. And so I had a choice. How lucky I am to know that such a choiceContinue Reading “A Space for Motherhood”
Words have been elusive to me. Strange for a writer, and a bit unnerving. But such is the way of life with a young child. So I rise again, today, and sit at my computer and carve out time to write. Funny how that works. When I make time, the words come. It’s like exercise,Continue Reading “A Space for Me”
Today is the 20th Anniversary of the Columbine shooting. Two gunmen killed 12 students and one teacher. There is always so much to talk about when it comes to gun violence, whatever you feelings or political persuasion. But I’m not going to talk about that today. Today, I choose to remember in silence these 13Continue Reading “A Space for Remembrance”
April is National Poetry month, so I’d like to share one of my own poems. It’s titled: A Rainbow in the Sky Glorious moment, when color compliments the seemingly endless sky. Color. Beauty. Grandeur. A rainbow in the sky foretelling a silent beauty. You must be looking, you must be observing to notice that silentContinue Reading “A Space for Beauty”
I’ve been sitting daily in meditation. It’s something that I’ve wanted to return to for a while now. Mediation is learning to focus on your breath and observe your thoughts without judgement; and then letting them go, like a cloud meandering in the sky. I am learning to sit with feelings and emotions. Just lettingContinue Reading “A Space to Wander”
I have an almost 80 pound black rescue dog named, Wiggins. When we picked him up from the local shelter, he was a mere 15 pounds, a frenzied-ball of black fur and never-ending-energy; always moving, always bounding off to the next bit of mischief he could make. Today, almost three years later, his energy isContinue Reading “A Space for Wiggins”
My friend is walking across the US. Let me say that again. My friend is walking across the US; a literal walk from Charleston, South Carolina to San Francisco, California. He is Peter Munson, and I want you to remember his name. (That is a picture of him, above.) He’s walking to raise awareness forContinue Reading “A Space for Walking Across America”
This is my last post in this series. I hope you enjoy it! Last week, I introduced you to the Mountain Bluebird (the state bird of Colorado). This week, I continue that conversation. You’ll find the Mountain Bluebird munching on insects and small fruit. Watch as they “hover low over the ground and drop downContinue Reading “A Space for Birds: The Sounds of Rocky Mountain National Park: Conclusion”
In my last post, I talked about the importance of National Parks, and introduced you to Rocky Mountain National park and some of the birds that you can find within its borders. This week, I talk more specifically about one of my favorite birds: The Mountain Bluebird. Enjoy! Since 1915, over 280 bird species haveContinue Reading “A Space for Birds: The Sounds of Rocky Mountain National Park: Part 2”
