Food For Thought: Staying Afloat

In this time when so many people are struggling with the ongoing economic recession, people find they need the help of others in order to stay afloat. Like the dories pictured above, the interconnection among family and friends helps to hold people up in tough times. This too is true when we are going through emotional pain and loss. No one struggling can or should go it alone. Everyone needs someone from time to time, even the  most solitary among us… Make it point to stay connected. Relationships are vital in our interconnected world.

Food For Thought: A Woman’s World

I believe that every woman is capable of building her own world and should be encouraged to do so:

“How wrong it is for woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than set out to create it herself.” – Anais Nin

Waiting for Signs of Spring

This winter has been challenging as it piles on the snow. But soon the Spring shall come and the Winter past shall be but a memory…

“There are many callings in this life and we can answer them all, or we can choose to ignore them. When we ignore them we lose the possibility of expanding who we are and why we are here.” – Pamela Leavey

Food For Thought: Change Is Inevitable

Change is inevitable…

Afternoon on the Salt Pannes ~ c. Pamela J. Leavey

Each time I drive through the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and cast my vision across the Salt Pannes, I see a new and different landscape that changes from day to day, week to week, month to month, as our lives do.

In truth, nothing should stay the same, for it did, we would be stuck in one place, one moment in time and we would never grow or learn or experience the wonders of life.

Nature is my grounding zone that subtlely reminds me of who I am and where I am going.

Food For Thought: Paths, Trails, Roads

Trail at Hellcat Swamp – c. Pamela J. Leavey

Life is a series of paths, trails and roads. A small path takes you to a larger trail… You follow along that trail in contemplation and then you meet the road. The road moves faster than the path or trail. On the road, you take action, you sometimes need to think quickly. Traveling on the road takes a different type of self participation. Sometimes you feel that you have traveled a road far enough and you need to get off that road. That is okay, because you can always start again at a new path. – Pamela J. Leavey
