Poem of the Day: Robert Frost’s A Time To Talk

December 9, 2022

I love stone walls, they beckon me to sit a while and talk with a friend…

A Time to Talk by, Robert Frost (1874-1963)

When a friend calls to me from the road

And slows his horse to a meaning walk,

I don’t stand still and look around

On all the hills I haven’t hoed,

And shout from where I am, What is it?

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,

Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wall

For a friendly visit.

A Surprise That Brings Joy

March 23, 2021

Greetings of the Day…

What a bright and beautiful spring day it is. We’ve had nothing but sunshine since the first day of spring. I’ve spent more time outside than in, in the past few days. Soaking up the sun, listening to the birds and monitoring the bulbs that I have planted as they poke out of the soil that is warming in the sun. So far I have some tulips, daffodils and crocus coming up. I confess, I do not quite remember what all I planted. I love a good surprise, a surprise that brings joy.

What We Are All Experiencing Right Now

March 18, 2021

Good Morning Everyone…

I grew quiet yesterday feeling the weight of the past year. Some times you just need to draw back and be in that space, the space of quiet, the space of contemplation, and then the space of acceptance. We can’t change the circumstances of the pandemic we are all in. We can only find ways to get through it, and with inner work, grow stronger from the experience. I’ve been through a lot of hard times, loss and grief in my life, These things have made me a stronger, better person. What we are all experiencing right now is part of the collective path that we are all in, in own way, in our our own places and spaces.

Spring Fever

March 16, 2021

Greetings of the Day to All…

The gusting March winds have died down after their days long quest to blow away everything in their wake. When the winds blow they come right through this old house I live in. The Spring Equinox is March 20, just 4 more days away. The Spring Fever is intense this year. Last Spring I planted a pandemic garden and I excited to be able to start gardening in the weeks to come. It’s good to have something positive to anticipate.

I wish you all a bright and beautiful day. May you find grace in this and every day. Bright blessings to all…

Daily Affirmations: I Open the Channels to Greater Creativity and Productivity

February 13, 2020

Sometimes we find ourselves struggling to be creative and productive. It’s only normal, we all have times when our creativity wanes and our productivity winds down to a slow crawl. In those times, I find myself these days, stepping back and honoring the message that I need to take it slow. And perhaps I need to simply sit and ponder…

We all need to clear our minds and open the channels to creative energy on occasion. A break from our daily routines can provide us with a refreshed attitude, a more open mind and heart, and the impetus to be creative and productive once again.

Today, I affirm that taking the time to renew and reboot is a vital part of life and the process of creativity. I re-mind myself that there should be no guilt, no remorse in stepping back to clear my heart and mind. And so it is, when I take time for myself, I open the channels to greater creativity and productivity. In that, intent makes manifest.

Daily Affirmations: When Intent Does Indeed Make Manifest

February 12, 2020

The power of intent can be very potent. We don’t always realize or recognize when intent shows up in our world. Maybe we are caught up in our busy lives, or we’re buried in worries and concerns. Things might seem so very black and white instead full of color.
