I decided to take some time to meditate tonight on my balcony, watching the sunset, followed by the moon taking over the sky. It was a lovely evening outside to just sit and breathe. I am thankful, also, as the leaves change and fall, I can now see more of the sky and the surroundings…
As I reflect on my progress this morning toward some of my goals or just on the steps I want to take to try and improve things in my life, I find that momentum is not a perfectly flowing thing. There are days that are perfect - days that allow me to complete multiple tasks…
Today has been a struggle. The past month of my life has been an emotional rollercoaster and I felt like today would be a day that would be good to reflect on my blog. When I write a blog post, I am trying to put my recent thoughts and feelings on the page in an…
The reality of going through change is that there will be ups and downs. Emotions can rollercoaster, the mind can wander. When you are keeping busy, it seems easy to put the heavy stuff on the back burner. But, we eventually have to face those pieces of change head-on when it all slows down. We…

I bounce back and forth when I think about the idea of everything having meaning. So many little things in life pass me by and I don't see them as important. However, lately, I have been trying to take all of these little things, along with the big things, into account. I am trying to…
I am amazed by many things in life. I would consider myself an emotional reflecter. A thoughtful creature destined for amazement by life. But it usually comes after the moment. At each specific present moment of life, I may not feel a specific emotion. However, once I receive processing or reflecting time, I find emotions…
