RIP Zeus

My daughter’s beautiful cat Zeus passed away this morning as we were preparing for our move to from Maine to Massachusetts tomorrow. Zeus was deeply loved by both of us and we will miss him…

Zeus was on our journey across country last fall when we moved from Los Angeles to Maine. We could not help but wonder this morning if he sensed the move coming and the stress of it made him sick.

Daily Affirmation: Today, I Turn My Attention

By: Pamela Leavey On: April 30, 2009 at 1:10 pm

“The world is peopled by travelers each with a journey. As we make our way through our own obstacles, we are often oblivious to those who travel by our side. And yet when we open our hearts to the adventures and adversities of others, our own journey is illumined. Those who travel beside me are my teachers and those I teach in turn.”

“Today, I turn my attention to the lives of others. I open to the interactive dance of our intersecting lives. Alert and attentive, I learn form those around me. Empathetic and involved, I teach what I have learned. Ours is a journey of shared hearts. I lift the lantern of camaraderie.” – Julia Cameron, Transitions: Prayers and Declarations for a Changing Life.

Looking For The Light

By: Pamela Leavey On: March 28, 2009 at 1:19 pm

The past few weeks have been interesting… When I started my journey last fall, to move cross country from Los Angeles to Maine, I considered it to be my “mid-life crisis adventure.” I knew I needed a change and it was important to me to be living back on the East Coast where my roots are and to live near family.

Perhaps it is the long hard first winter here, but I think not, there are days when I wonder where the light is at the end of the tunnel. Spring is here, warmer days, longer days, but the sun is not the cure all, for I feel often still that I have not found that missing piece (or peace) I seek.

I’ve been sorting through what I want to do next with my life, like many who have been affected by the economic downturn we are in, I am looking to re-invent myself. Come what may… For now I continue to keep looking…
